GEA says it is expanding its valve portfolio with the GEA Aseptomag LV leakage valve. The mixproof double-seat valve is designed for manufacturers of foods and beverages, as well as pharmaceutical products, that maintain high safety standards in their ultra-clean process lines. Typical examples are products with an extended shelf life such as fruit juices and milk-based and lactic-acid-fermented products, along with plant-based alternatives sold chilled by retailers. Focusing on equipment flexibility, the design features significantly mitigate the risk of contamination in this hygiene class. In addition, products become more durable — with fewer preservatives.
