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.

Approfondimenti GEA
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.
Oltre le macchine: come migliorare le prestazioni dell’impianto
Una macchina efficiente non garantisce automaticamente l'efficienza di uno stabilimento. Il vero miglioramento spesso inizia guardando oltre le singole attrezzature e comprendendo come i processi, i sistemi energetici e le decisioni operative si influenzino a vicenda. Si tratta di un approccio olistico pensato per individuare opportunità che altrimenti potrebbero sfuggire.
Come una valvola rivoluziona la produzione di alimenti e bevande
Negli impianti di produzione di alimenti e bevande, le valvole vengono solitamente azionate tramite aria compressa. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology utilizza l'acqua all'interno di un circuito chiuso e controllato digitalmente. Il risultato è una valvola che può essere mantenuta esattamente in posizione e regolata con per piccoli incrementi con grande precisione. Ciò si traduce in un minor consumo energetico e in un maggiore controllo.
