Rethinking Beverage Production

Hydraulic valve technology is designed to rethink valve actuation in the beverage and food industry. By using water hydraulics to operate the valves, the system achieves precise control with minimal energy use. As a complement to GEA’s already existing pneumatic valve technology, hydraulic valve technology supports production that is more efficient, flexible, and safe, offering an alternative to processes driven by compressed air.
“With the acquisition of Hydract, we are expanding our valve portfolio with water-hydraulic actuation technology that can significantly reduce the energy demand for operating our process valves. We will offer our customers both pneumatic and hydraulic actuation technology for our modular valve program – with uniform interfaces to engineering, automation and service.”

Da oltre 100 anni, GEA sviluppa tecnologie per l'allevamento bovino da latte: dalle prime mungitrici a secchio ai sistemi autonomi e digitalmente interconnessi. Queste innovazioni hanno trasformato radicalmente la gestione degli allevamenti, passando da attività che richiedevano molta manodopera a modelli produttivi orientati a una maggiore efficienza operativa, al benessere animale e all'ottimizzazione dei processi aziendali.
