Safety Devices for Protecting Refrigeration Systems from Excess Pressure

UVR / UVRK PRESSURE REGULATING VALVES

UVR pressure regulating valves unite 3 features in one: apart from the pressure regulating function they also act as check valves and shut-off valves. They are available in straightway and angle design. They are designed for operation with natural refrigerants (NH3, CO2) and non-corrosive gases as per EN 378-1. This valve type features the possibility to vary the response pressure within a range of 2-8 bar. Additionally the valves can be closed manually and feature GEA reliable sealing system which enables the threaded bush to be replaced even when the valve is under pressure. The special design of this valve type eliminates the typical flattering. UVR pressure regulating valves are designed for a temperature range of -60 °C to 150°C and for pressure stages PS 25 and PS 40. UVRK pressure regulating valves are an upgrade of UVR pressure regulating valves as they feature an additionally integrated regulating cone. So this unites 4 functionalities in one valve: pressure regulating valve, check valve, regulating valve and shut-off valve.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying

In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance

An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made

In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
