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.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
