Special valves & tank safety systems
The VARITOP® tank safety system is a modular system for individual applications. It is used for tank cleaning, for protection against impermissible overpressure and underpressure, as well as for the aeration and degassing of tanks.
GEA offers different types of safety valves: Hygienic vacuum valves protect pipelines as well as tanks in processing plants from inevitable vacuums (such as after sterilization). Our safety valves reliably protect process plants from overpressure.
Control valves serve as actuators in control loops. In this context, the respective control valve functions as a throttling device that sets the desired flow rate by changing the pressure drop in a pipeline.
The modular design of the VARIVENT® system offers the possibility to individually adapt control valves to specific process requirements.

Vacuum valve Aseptomag®
Hygienic vacuum valves are used to secure lines in processing plants against impermissibly occurring vacuums.
VARINLINE® Sampling valves
These valves are used for taking random samples for monitoring the biological condition of product lines. Suitable products: media without suspended particles and of low viscosity, e.g. water, beer, milk, juices without fruit pulp.
VARITOP® Tank safety systems
The tank safety system VARITOP® is a modular system based on standardized components. VARITOP® is used for tank cleaning, to protect tanks against inadmissible overpressure and vacuum and for controlled gassing and degassing.
VARIVENT® Constant pressure valve
VARIVENT® constant pressure valves are used to adjust the inlet pressure of the valve on a constant level. In case of any process-related pressure fluctuations, the valve opens or closes to compensate them. The needed product pressure will set through the air supply pressure to the actuator. Therefore a constant air control pressure is required.
