Homogenizing Valves
The standard valve is able to satisfy different market requests thanks to its capacity to personalize the profile and materials used.


GEA Standard valve allows the profile and materials customization which can vary according to the application and the effect demanded on the final product.
The valve is available in different versions and it covers low and upper pressure range allowing the optimization of the process performance. The flat valve (S type) and the sharp edge profile (R type), which covers up to 1.500 bar of pressure, answers to different process needs: S type is ideal for emulsions and it permits a longer life-time of the product while R type is designed for high performances where a higher cell rupture process i required.
The optimization on the material used, often realized in collaboration with GEA major clients, contributed to define the standard valve quality, capable of combining mechanical resistance and compliance with current hygienic normative in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
