Full range of homogenizing valves
- The basic machine uses competitively priced wear-resistant parts, ideal for non-abrasive applications.
- Optional high-wear-resistant materials extend service life in more demanding, abrasive formulations.
- Optional higher-efficiency homogenizing valves are also suitable.
- GEA coneVerge® for ultra-low pressure efficiency, especially designed for dairy and beverage applications.
- GEA NanoValve® for high efficiency in medium-pressure applications.
New frame and cladding design
- All stainless-steel construction engineered with advanced tools for a robust structure and long-term durability.
- Optimized crankcase for low mechanical heat generation, noise and vibrations.
- No need for cooling lubrication oil or forced air ventilation in the drive compartment.
Poppet pumping valves
- Excellent flow characteristics with easy feeding and reduced noise and cavitation.
- High volumetric efficiency and extended operational life.
Compact footprint
- Optimizes plant space while allowing easy replacement of old homogenizers.
- Minimal space required for maintenance.
Hygienic design
- CIP (Clean in Place) capable.
- Optional 3A approval for enhanced hygienic standards.
Aseptic execution
- Simple operation and control for long-lasting plunger and seal performance.
- All parts in contact with the product are SIP (Sterilize in Place) capable.
- Steamable full stroke barrier chambers for extra hygiene.
Flexible electrical and automation options
- A wide range of electrical options and automation levels to suit different control needs, from basic motor starter panels to high-spec PLC panels with HMI.

GEA Insights
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.
Au-delà des machines : exploiter les gisements de performance des installations
Ce n'est pas parce que vous avez des machines efficaces que votre usine l'est. Une trajectoire d'amélioration efficace commence souvent par une analyse qui ne se limite pas aux équipements pris individuellement, et cherche à comprendre comment les processus, les systèmes énergétiques et les décisions opérationnelles s'influencent mutuellement. C'est une démarche holistique, conçue pour repérer des opportunités qui, sans cela, risqueraient de passer inaperçues.
Comment une vanne révolutionne la production des aliments et des boissons
Dans les installations agroalimentaires, les vannes sont généralement actionnées en utilisant de l'air comprimé. La technologie d'actionnement GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology, quant à elle, actionne les vannes en utilisant de l'eau, au sein d'un circuit fermé à commande numérique. Résultat, une vanne peut être maintenue en place de manière exacte et réglée par petits paliers. Cela se traduit par une consommation d'énergie en baisse et un meilleur contrôle.
