VARIVENT® CONTROL VALVES

The new GEA VARIVENT® Mixproof valve type MX offers innovative technologies as essential elements of future-oriented safety concepts. It offers a measure of product safety that goes far beyond previous requirements.

Maximum process safety

The optimized physical design of the leakage cavity creates a negative pressure. Should a seal fail, the product is removed by vacuum and guided to the periphery without the risk of contamination (Venturi effect).

State of the art: Maintenance-free actuator

Closed actuator housings, thoroughly protected by specially designed piston seals - designed to be maintenance-free. The robust design supports uninterrupted process operation and saves valuable time and operating costs.

Maximum process safety

The optimized physical design of the leakage cavity creates a negative pressure. Should a seal fail, the product is removed by vacuum and guided to the periphery without the risk of contamination (Venturi effect).

Maximum pressure relief

Thanks to specially shaped balancers in both pipelines, the valve remains stable in the closed position even in the event of water hammer and, on the other hand, retains its full ability to act even in the case of hydraulic lock or thermal expansion of the medium.

Technical data
Both control valves can be differentiated according to their options. Doing so, process related requirements could have an influence on the decision.
