VARICOVER® Product Recovery Systems achieve 99% recovery of your valuable products

The general demand made on the minimisation of product losses as well as the increasing requirement for an improved wastewater quality make product recovery systems indispensable in modern production lines.

Product recovery systems are suitable for any application in the dairy and food industry, in the beverage industry as well as in the personal and health industry where valuable, viscous products can be pushed out of pipes using another medium without intermixing.

The fully automatic GEA Tuchenhagen Product Recovery Systems are integrated into closed, fixed piped systems and are fully compatible with CIP/SIP operations.

The dimensionally stable and product compatible pig pushes the product out of the pipe. A small film of residual product is left and can be easily removed by CIP cleaning. In this way the product left in the pipe at the end of production is almost completely recovered and the burden placed on the wastewater by subsequent cleaning can be drastically reduced.
