ReFlow water system for homogenizers
The ReFlow recirculates the plant process water used by high pressure homogenizers to cool and lubricate plungers making the operation of GEA machines environmentally more sustainable.
GEA ReFlow water system is designed and built to recirculate process water that is cooling and lubricating high pressure homogenizer’s pumping plungers. This reduces the amount 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 the 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
- Up to 95% water saving and recirculation 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 and Sanitization at 100°
Compact and Flexible

Comment SmartParc réécrit les règles de la production agroalimentaire
Grâce à un nouveau site de fabrication, le SmartParc, des transformateurs de produits alimentaires du Royaume-Uni diminuent leurs dépenses courantes et leurs émissions. S'appuyant sur la technologie de chauffage et de refroidissement de GEA, ce modèle de production collaboratif démontre comment l'innovation accélère les ambitions « zéro net » de l'industrie.
Le terrain de jeu de la science agroalimentaire
« Brasser des œufs, c'est comme brasser de la bière. » C'est le genre de comparaison qui fait sourire, puis qui fait tilt : Quelque chose qui semblait complexe devient soudain simple. Dans ce film personnel, qui se déroule dans le cœur agricole des États-Unis, nous explorons la fermentation de précision et le travail concret qu'il faut accomplir pour transformer une idée en nourriture.
