Thanks to a pioneering valve concept that sets standards for its flexibility, as well as the latest control and automation functions, our valves offer manufacturers maximum product safety and process reliability.

4 All GEA hygienic valves are designed to be efficient and cost-effective for their particular applications, leading to sustainable operation and considerable savings potential. GEA valve technology controls fl ow processesOur hygienic valve technology ensures safe, effi cient processes wherever sensitive liquid products are manufactured. In food production, the classic application areas range from milk processing (milk, yogurt, cheese ..) to liquid foods (sauces and pastes, instant products, baby food ..) and on to the brewing of beer and production of beverages. Further signifi cant areas are biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, as well as care products and cleaning agents / of the sector, the application or production specifi cations: Our hygienic valve technology is sure to meet the demands of our users.

Supported by our Research and Development Department we regularly launch new, technologically mature products on the markets. Our customers have high standards, which we continuously and systematically GEAI ntroductionGEA VARINLINE Process ConnectionsThe trademark VARINLINE includes control and measuring instruments that meet the requirement of being CIP/SIP-able, thus enabling cleaning and sterilization without the need for dismantling.

6 The instruments can be cleaned and sterilized without any residue in automatic cleaning and sterilizing process cycles. The core piece of the in-line control and measurement technology is the process connection fi tting, the VARINLINE housing. It is mainly an in-line housing with double vertical ports with two process process connections in the VARINLINE housing allow up to two control / measuring instruments, a sight glass with opposite illumination unit or diff erent measuring mountings. They are available for all pipe sizes, with the VARIVENT process connection designed for the nominal width of the respective components to be installed. VARINLINE housings are self draining also in the horizontal installation orientation and thus permit instrumentation free of dead zones.

7 VARINLINE housings are 3A approved, according to the DGRL and are EHEDG-certifi components, free of dead spaces, for your process Every process operator who processes valuable or sensitive liquids benefi ts from our hygienic, 100 % drainable components for important special functions in the process. All components were developed on the basis of the groundbreaking and proven GEA VARIVENT design and guarantee extraordinary reliability and functionality for trouble-free, effi cient VARITOP Tank Safety SystemsThe VARITOP tank safety system consists of a modular system and thereby forms a functional unit designed individually according to the customer s diverse applications of the VARITOP system range from tank cleaning to protecting tanks against high and low pressures to gassing and degassing of Components for Special Process Functions 9 GEAI ntroductionGEA VARICOMP Expansion CompensatorsVARICOMP expansion compensators compensate for expansions and tensions in pipeline systems that result from temperature diff erences.

8 Due to the dead-zone free design, they are able to be used in hygienic and aseptic VARICOVER Product Recovery SystemsVARICOVER product recovery systems are designed for use in fully automatic operations with maximum cleaning demands. They are used to recover valuable products from pipelines an important consideration to optimize the economic effi ciency of a process system . Pigging pushes the product from the pipes and returns it to the production VARICOVER product recovery system usually comprises of a pig cleaning station, a pig catching station with propellant medium valves and a Components for Special Process Functions10 GEAI ntroductionHygienic valves and componentsHygienic valves and components are suitable for CIP/SIP, easy to maintain, offer reliable function and represent a significant factor in consistent product quality.

9 Low costs with operation, maintenance and service ensure economical system highly flexible VARIVENT modular system is the basis for the hygienic valves and components of GEA Tuchenhagen. The result is economic efficiency for the system operator, optimized stock keeping and low-cost spare parts production due to the reduced diversity of parts. Sealing according to the VARIVENT principleThe hygienic valves and components offered by GEA Tuchenhagen are characterized by special seal technology. A metallic stop results in defined seal deformation, ensuring long seal life. This allows for more time to pass between required maintenance services, thereby allowing for continuous production and shorter downtimes.
