The NanoValve® design
The NanoValve® has been developed to achieve optimized performance at very low working pressure if compared to a conventional homogenizing valve.
The NanoValve® concept is based on a specific homogenizing valve profile, with optimized working gap and with a sharp edge for minimized travel distance between high pressure zone and high velocity zone, to release on product particles the most effective fluid-dynamic energy generated by high turbulence, localized cavitation, shear effects and wall impacts.
NanoValve® technology is suitable for different kind of applications: from food and beverages to dairy products: milk, yoghurt, cream and milk with flavors.
Sustainability follows the right choice
Add Better reflects our commitment to continuously improve – for our customers and for the environment.
Solutions carrying the Add Better label save energy and water, reduce emissions, and minimize waste compared with their predecessor models.
Each solution is evaluated using concrete data and industry standards through an assessment process developed with TÜV Rheinland, who also verifies every calculation.
The various homogenizing valve designs are fundamentally important along with the valve geometry. The NanoValve® design allows an increase in efficiency and a reduction in operating pressure (tests demonstrates up to 13% lower operating pressure compared to the GEA standard valve) providing energy savings and optimal use of the ingredients and resources.

NanoValve® HP
NanoValve® HP has been designed with the aim of extending the concept of the NanoValve® even at high pressures (up to 700 bar). Its innovative technology can reach optimized results in terms of homogenization effects in different fields of applications, such as vaccines, parenteral nutrition, nanocellulose and products containing additives, flavorings and stabilizers.
NanoValve®HP is available in 3 sizes, thus offering the possibility to customize and combine different valve parameters, and suitable for models of the Ariete® Series, from NS3090 to NS5355 for operating pressures between 250 and 700 bar and flow rate range from 5.000 to 31.000 l/h.
NanoValve® is registered as a trademark in several countries worldwide.

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.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
