Special valves & tank safety systems
The sampling valve VARIVENT® Type IT is used for drawing small samples of liquids and viscous media. Manual or pneumatic actuation is combined in the actuator. Different interfaces ensure a wide application range
Various types of connection nozzles are available for a safe and no loss discharge of the sample volume into the sample receptacles. Spiral flame nozzles are used for liquids containing CO2 and other medium tending to foam.

VARIVENT® mixproof sampling valves are ideally suited as fully automatic sampling and dosing valves in process plants.
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.
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
