Single-seat valves
The key to guiding your process flow: GEA FLOWVENT Shut-off valves are used for easy shut-off solutions in hygienic applications.
GEA FLOWVENT Shut-off valves are used for easy shut-off solutions in hygienic applications.
For simple shut-off functions, there is only one seal separating the pipelines from each other. In the event of a possible seal failure, liquid can leak into the second pipeline. For this reason, shut-off valves are not suitable for separating incompatible media.
Shut-off valves are ideal for use e.g. as drain valves or to shut off a bypass line. Often these valve types are also used as dosing valves.

El termoformado lleva mucho tiempo desempeñando un papel fundamental en el envasado de alimentos. Ahora se enfrenta a un cambio importante. A medida que se endurecen las normativas, evolucionan los materiales y aumentan los costes, las líneas de envasado formado, llenado y sellado deben hacer algo más que funcionar de forma fiable: ahora determinan cómo los alimentos se mantienen frescos, asequibles y reciclables. Eche un vistazo a las principales tendencias en termoformado que están marcando el panorama del envasado y entrega de alimentos.

Desde los huertos de Ciudad del Cabo hasta las góndolas de las tiendas en 40 países, la empresa sudafricana de envasado Betko ha construido su negocio en base a la frescura, puntualidad y fiabilidad. Gracias a la tecnología de refrigeración en atmósfera controlada de GEA, la empresa puede ahora almacenar manzanas y peras durante un máximo de 14 meses y reducir el consumo energético en un 20%, todo ello gracias a nuestra colaboración de más de 30 años.
