FAQ

What is the function of a mixproof valve like this GEA VARIVENT?

A mixproof valve allows two different fluids to flow through the same valve body simultaneously without any risk of cross-contamination. It uses two independent valve seats, creating a leakage chamber between them that can be cleaned, ensuring process safety and hygiene.

What are the compatible fluids and applications for the HNBR (FDA) seals?

HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) seals offer excellent resistance to oils, fats, and many chemicals, along with good mechanical strength and high-temperature tolerance. Being FDA compliant, they are suitable for a wide range of applications in the food, beverage, and dairy industries, especially for processing fatty products.

Can a control top like a GEA T.VIS be fitted to this actuator?

Yes, the actuator on this VARIVENT valve is designed to be compatible with GEA’s control and feedback units, such as the T.VIS series. This allows for automated control, position feedback, and integration into a larger process control system (PCS).
