Inline Equipment
Due to its special structural shape, the instrument can be used for the measurement of excess and vacuum pressures.
The bourdon tube gauge is equipped with a pressure transformator. A diaphragm ensures the separation from the process medium and transfers the process pressure to the measurement instrument via a transferring medium. If a pressure acts from the process medium direction onto the instrument, the elastic diaphragm transfers this pressure to the transferring medium and thus to the measurement instrument.
Due to the specific design of these pressure gauges, a small temperature influence could be achieved as well as the possibility to measure overpressure and vacuum conditions. The indication instrument is filled with glycerine (conform with FDA regulations) or with isolation oil in cases of the presence of limit switches to achieve a damping behavior during high vibrations as well as to avoid condensation during the use at different temperatures. As result, this pressure gauge is ideally designed to be used in (liquid) food applications.
It is available with different adaptors to fit into process connections type B, F and N. Several orientations of the pressure gauge are available to enable a proper readability of the instrument to enable a proper readability of the instrument in different installation positions.
In the current process technology, fixed piping systems lead to permanently closed systems within the single plants which do not allow the operator to have a direct view into the production process. By equipping the pipelines with VARINLINE® housings, control and measurement instruments can be installed within the piping systems to monitor the pr...
The gas expansion thermometer is characterized by its robust design and the ideal, fully welded installation within the VARINLINE® process connections.
Sight glasses inserted into the VARINLINE® access unit or into a housing connection flange (for vessels and tanks) are used for visual monitoring of the product.
In connection with a standard evaluation unit, the conductive electrode is mainly used for level detection in tanks.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
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.
