GEA ReFlow water system is designed and built to recirculate process water that is cooling and lubricating high pressure homogenizer’s pumping plungers. This is reducing the amounted of treated process water or potable city water used and nearly eliminates the need for it. The unit can operate independently with its own control system and exchange signals with the homogenizer and the process in which homogenizer is part of; or in a fully integrated automation system by incorporating the provided functional description into the control system of the process. It is possible to extend and validate the ReFlow system to aseptic homogenizers due to treated water being inherently sterile.
Key features:
Sustainable
- Water flows back into the system for filtration instead of being wasted
- More than 95% reduction in use of water or in steam consumption for all homogenizers
Safe and efficient
- Robust ceramic membrane to remove all bacteria and nearly all virus, proteins and enzymes
- Conductivity sensor to detect any kind of leaks into the plungers cooling water
- Flow meter to set required plunger cooling flow
- Heat exchanger to remove the heat from plungers and circulation pump
Cleaning and sanitizing possible
- Backflushing possible
- Clean In Place, Sanitization (100°), Sterilization In Place (125°)
Compact and Flexible
