Product Recovery Systems
無菌ピグシステム
An aseptic pigging system allows to recover cost intensive products out of product lines. Powered by compressed sterile air, the pig pushes the product out of the pipe. The remaining product film on the inside of the product line can then be removed with the CIP. This technology significantly reduces the strain on the waste water and lowers cleaning costs, for example water and detergents costs.
The shafts for the pig holder and the pig actuator are hermetically sealed with welded metal bellows. The connection of the body and the pig actuator is done with a service friendly 3-part massiv clamp. The body is made of stainless steel 1.4435 (AISI316L) and is ground inside and polished outside. The connections are normally welding connections according to DlN 11850, on request they can be imperial or ISO welding connections, dairy screw connections, clamp connections or aseptic flanges according to DIN 11864-2. Parts in contact with the product are completely made out of 1.4435 (AISI316L) with silicon seals between the inside and the outside. The pigging system can be delivered in sizes DN40 to DN100.
- Pigging stations are fully integrated into the product line
- Recovery by emptying the pipeline with the pig
- Lower cleaning costs
- Lower wastewater load
- Easy to maintain
- Sterilization up to 140°C

Making milk production more sustainable for a growing world
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.
Filtration sensation: The washing machine principle
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
