ReFlow water system for homogenizers
The ReFlow recirculates the plant process water used by high pressure homogenizers to cool and lubricate plungers making the operation of GEA machines environmentally more sustainable.
GEA ReFlow water system is designed and built to recirculate process water that is cooling and lubricating high pressure homogenizer’s pumping plungers. This is reducing the amounted of treated process water or potable city water used and nearly eliminates the need for it. The unit can operate independently with its own control system and exchange signals with the homogenizer and the process in which homogenizer is part of; or in a fully integrated automation system by incorporating the provided functional description into the control system of the process. It is possible to extend and validate the ReFlow system to aseptic homogenizers due to treated water being inherently sterile.
Key features:
Sustainable
- Water flows back into the system for filtration instead of being wasted
- More than 95% reduction in use of water or in steam consumption for all homogenizers
Safe and efficient
- Robust ceramic membrane to remove all bacteria and nearly all virus, proteins and enzymes
- Conductivity sensor to detect any kind of leaks into the plungers cooling water
- Flow meter to set required plunger cooling flow
- Heat exchanger to remove the heat from plungers and circulation pump
Cleaning and sanitizing possible
- Backflushing possible
- Clean In Place, Sanitization (100°), Sterilization In Place (125°)
Compact and Flexible

Zoccoli sani, animali più sani
Negli allevamenti vige una regola semplice ma fondamentale: gli zoccoli devono essere sani. Quando questo presupposto viene meno, le prestazioni, il benessere e l'efficienza ne risentono immediatamente, a prescindere da quanto all'avanguardia possa essere l'azienda.
GEA opens new technology center, strengthening its position in the growing pharmaceutical applications market
Together with Mona Neubaur, Minister of Economic Affairs of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, GEA CEO Stefan Klebert has opened a new technology center for pharmaceutical freeze-drying systems in Elsdorf, Germany. GEA employs approximately 260 people at the facility, which combines research and development with production and service under one roof.
