Inline Equipment
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 case of optically dense products, illumination with adjustable brightness is recommended.
VARINLINE® sight glasses can be adapted to VARINLINE® housings or tank connections and enables a visual check of the processed medium.
The glass lock made of borosilicate can be used at pressure ranges between -1 and 25 bar, depending on the size of the glass. Nevertheless, the maximum pressure rating of the surrounding equipment needs to be considered.
To also enable proper visual checks of dull liquids, the installation of an additional illumination is recommended. The long-lasting LED illumination incorporates 20 LEDs and can be delivered with a connected cable with the length of 2 or 25m.
By using a feeler, the 2 Watt illumination is activated. For the installation within explosion proof areas an ATEX illumination without a feeler is available.
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...
Due to its special structural shape, the instrument can be used for the measurement of excess and vacuum pressures.
The gas expansion thermometer is characterized by its robust design and the ideal, fully welded installation within the VARINLINE® process connections.
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.
