Homogenizing valves
NanoVALVE®HP has been designed with the aim of extending the concept of the NanoVALVE® even at high pressures (up to 700 bar) and to offer advantages especially in terms of homogenization effect and energy savings of new applications.


Maintaining the same process conditions, NanoVALVE®HP is now able to achieve an excellent homogenization quality, making the effects on the finished product even more recognizable. In addition, with the same homogenization level, it allows working at lower pressures related to conventional valves.
The geometry of the valve is based on a specific profile capable of optimizing the distance between the passage head and the impact head and therefore to allow a greater efficiency of the fluid dynamic forces.

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 20% lower operating pressure compared to the GEA standard valve) providing energy savings and optimal use of the ingredients and resources.

NanoVALVE®HP is available in 3 sizes, thus offering the possibility to combine different valve parameters: the passage head, the impact ring and the travel, which can be customized according to the needs of the process.
Another revolutionary feature of this valve regards the impact ring, fully integrated into the passage head, so as to form a valve composed of only two parts: the passage head and the impact head, both reversible.
NanoVALVE®HP is available on 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.
GEA centrifuges enable wastewater reuse, resource recovery, and water security by turning biosolids into value in a world facing growing water scarcity.
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
