Hygienic Valves
Hygienic steam inlet valves are used for the monitored supply of steam in containers or tanks.
Welded flange
For both the mechanical and pneumatic versions, the welded flange is identical and fixed to the valve using four screws.
Internal Assembly
The contact force of the valve seat seal is adjusted using an adjusting nut in the case of valve type DE. In the case of valve type DE PA, adjustment takes place using compressed air in the actuator. All internal assemblies are equipped with a Tefasep® seal by default.
Actuator
Steam inlet valves DE do not have an actuator. Valve type DE PA, on the other hand, is equipped with an air-closing / air-opening pneumatic actuator (LL).
Clamp
Due to its solid construction, the GEA Aseptomag clamp enables a pressure stable and safe connection of the main components. The special design with three segments allows a service-friendly handling of the component, even under tight space conditions.
Feedback units
Steam inlet valves type DE PA (with pneumatic actuator) can be either equipped with feedback units or T.VIS® feedback systems by default. Feedback units from third party suppliers can be mounted via specially designed adaptors. To find out more about feedback units, please click here.
Steam inlet valves type DE are directly welded between a tank and a pipe system and can therefore not be equipped with any feedback options.

El sistema modular VARIVENT® tiene muchas versiones disponibles que optimizan las válvulas en el sistema del proceso. El producto consiste de dos tipos de válvulas de control distintos.

Las válvulas de seguridad VARIVENT® Tipo Q se utilizan como válvulas de descarga de la presión en tuberías.

Las válvulas de vacío higiénicas se utilizan para asegurar las líneas en plantas de proceso contra la formación de vacíos no permitidos.

Las válvulas de seguridad VARIVENT® se desarrollaron especialmente para la industria alimentaria, farmacéutica y de bebidas y cumplen todas las normas y reglamentos, como DIN 11866 o ASME BPE.
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
Gracias a un nuevo centro de fabricación SmartParc, los procesadores de alimentación del Reino Unido están reduciendo sus costes de funcionamiento y sus emisiones. Con la tecnología de calefacción y refrigeración de GEA en su núcleo, este modelo de producción colaborativa demuestra cómo la innovación está acelerando las ambiciones de cero emisiones netas de la industria.
"Elaborar huevos es como elaborar cerveza". Es el tipo de comparación que te hace sonreír, y te das cuenta: De repente, algo complejo parece sencillo. Con esta película personal, ambientada en el corazón agrícola de EE.UU., exploramos la fermentación de precisión y el trabajo real que supone convertir una idea en alimentos.
