Manufacturers of meals and other hygienically processed merchandise face the challenge of maintaining reproducible processes so that their merchandise have the looks, taste, and consistency that buyers expect.
GEA has designed the VARIVENT MX with components that keep merchandise from mixing with the cleaning liquid, even underneath distinctive hundreds. The cavity chamber is fitted with a vacuum self-drainage system and balancers on both valve discs. For maximum bodily safety, GEA makes use of the Venturi effect which is created by the special shape of the move channels, inflicting a vacuum on the opposite seal during lifting, preventing stress will increase. As a outcome, no cleansing liquid can enter the alternative pipe carrying the product while a valve seat is being lifted or cleaned, even if a seal is flawed.
When new techniques are set up and adjusted in a short time, there’s a higher threat of overpressure throughout operation. The valve discs must stay in place when water hammer occurs, and the valve must stay closed. For this function, GEA has equipped the valve discs in both pipelines with balancers – pressure compensators. Forgotten makes the closed valve resistant to water hammer up to 50 bar within the upper and lower pipelines. The new MX valve type also has an integrated balancer cleaning gadget. It ensures that the balancer is totally flushed from the outside throughout seat lifting at the identical time as cleaning-in-place is going down. All surfaces in contact with the product can be cleaned with none extra parts protecting the product from contamination.
