GEA Valve technology
GEA valves meet the particularly high requirements within sterile, aseptic and hygienic processes. As product and process safety is the highest priority within these applications, our valves are equipped with a hermetic sealing element to prevent any ingress of microorganisms into a sterile process.
Our valve series include all valve types required for optimal execution of processes in the pharmaceutical sector for different levels of sterility. The spectrum ranges from shut-off to double-seat and tank bottom valves, as well as an extensive portfolio of special valves.
The typical applications fill from upstream to downstream processes including black and clean media and also fill and finish.
Aseptic tank bottom Valves:
Aseptic and UltraClean tank bottom valves are used to enable controlled draining and sample functions at a tank. Our valve range covers everything from single-seat to mixproof shut-off tank bottom valves.
Our three valve lines D-tec®, VESTA® and Aseptomag® are true asset for applications in the pharmaceutical, biotech and cosmetics industry and distinguish themselves via the hermetic sealing concept. The Aseptomag® valve line is based on stainless steel bellows technology, where the D-tec® valve line uses stem diaphragm technology to hermetically seal the sterile process pipe against the atmosphere. The VESTA® valve line bases on PTFE bellows technology.
VARIVENT® Mixproof Valve Type MX:
The new GEA VARIVENT® Mixproof valve type MX offers innovative technologies as essential elements of future-oriented safety concepts.
The key to this latest advance in the GEA VARIVENT® concept are technical developments in crucial details that make it possible to prevent incompatible media from mixing under all conceivable conditions and thus to meet the highest safety requirements and is therefore suitable for various applications from pharmaceutical to food industries.
Magnetic Separator ASEPTOMAG® MAS:
Magnetic separators of the type MAS H extract magnetic particles from the product. The innovative locking device enables maximum product and process safety while the manual deactivation of the magnetic field reduces plant downtime.
LoTo - Lock Out, Tag Out:
The Lock out, Tag out (LoTo) device is used to ensure a safe maintenance and commissioning of process plants. Energy sources will be locked and visually marked to prevent the unintentional movement of the valve.
Leakage Valve ASEPTOMAG® LV:
Aseptomag® leakage valves are used for the mixproof shut-off of incompatible products at pipe junctions in UltraClean processing plants.The valve design is characterized by the sealing of the moving valve stems with stainless steel bellows and the leakage area which is open to atmosphere. Due to these two characteristics, the valve enables a simplified process compared to true aseptic installations but still provides enhanced product safety by having hermetically sealed valve stems.
