Brochures in English from GEA Tuchenhagen

Reliable Process Plants – today and tomorrow At GEA Tuchenhagen we aim to deliver the best process components available on the market. However, we do more than just deliver a component; our After Sales Service is your opportunity for an excellent plant operation – even after many years of production.

Over the last 80 years our success has been no accident. We have worked hand-in-hand with our customers to maintain continuous product development that matches process needs and our customers’ requirements. This investment has enabled us to produce technically advanced process components and services for smooth production. Whether you are processing milk, beer, beverages, pasty food or fine chemical products, what counts is the quality of the final product and the efficiency of the production line. Our components are flexible so they can be adjusted to optimize process parameters and enable high productivity, efficient operation and a constantly high product quality. This is why we are one
of the world’s leading manufacturers of process components.

ECOVENT® Single Seat Valves represent a cost-effective alternative to our shut-off and shuttle valves for simple hygienic process applications. They form the next innovative generation of the proven ECOVENT® series. They stand out by reliable function, CIP/SIP-ability and low maintenance - the fundamental factors for achieving consistent product quality, high output rates and economical operating, maintenance and service costs.

GEA Mechanical Equipment is a segment of the GEA Group, which is one of the leading providers of process engineering solutions in the world. The integration in this group assures the resources of a successful international technology group to the segment and its business units.
The GEA Mechanical Equipment segment combines all group activities related to mechanical separation, homogenization, pumps, valves and tank cleaning. Its process engineering components ensure smooth processes and production procedures with optimized costs in virtually all major areas of industry. With the Business Units GEA Mechanical Separation, GEA Flow Components and GEA Homogenizers, the segment supports customers in many key sectors and in all global markets for using product flows as value flows.

GEA Tuchenhagen®-VARIFLOW Rotary Piston Pumps are used wherever viscous, sensitive or solids-containing liquids need to be transferred gently. Type VPSH is used for hygienic applications of all kinds. Type VPSU has been designed especially for the high aseptic requirements in sterile areas. The special design of the Skimitar rotors and the pump’s design enable the pump to convey a wide range of media: from low-viscous media to products with a viscosity of up to 1,000,000 cP or even media with suspended solids. Due to the shape of the Skimitar rotors, a particularly high efficiency is achieved.

The GEA Tuchenhagen®-VARIFLOW Centifugal Pump TP is designed for pumping demanding media up to a viscosity of 1,000 mPas. Low flow velocities and gentle discharge of media through the spiral housing ensure extremely gentle product handling and high efficiency.

10 pump sizes with a capacity range of up to 210 m3/h and pump heads of up to 90 m w.c. are available, finely tuned to the task at hand.

The GEA Tuchenhagen®-VARIFLOW Centrifugal Pump TPS is a self-priming pump for viscosities of up to 500 mPas. The pump is used for CIP return applications, for emptying tanks as well as for conveying products containing gas. The TPS is characterized by a low sound power level, highest efficiency and excellent cleaning properties. The TPS series also permits evacuation of pipes on the suction side – so that just one pump is required for CIP return and product conveying!

Archimedes - the ingenious scientist of the ancient world - recognized the functionality of pumps as early as in the middle of the 3rd cent. B.C. Through the invention of the Archimedean screw, the irrigation of the fields became much more effective. 2200 years later Gea tuchenhagen is building high-tech pumps for hygienic process technology giving the process lines the optimal impetus.

STERICOM® Double Seal Valves provide safe media separation in sterile process applications:
• Hermetically safe sealing to the atmosphere
• Reliable isolation of process pipes by SIP-able cavity chamber
• Controlled steam inlet and outlet by SIP shut-off valves directly installed at the cavity chamber

The STERICOM® LongLife valves are a logical further development of the proven STERICOM® range. They provide many versatile options for applications in the dairy, juice and food industries and have new features that are of benefit to the user.

STERICOM® LongLife valves are hermetically sealed which, prevents any product contamination, and their design provides unique, high quality valve technology. The characteristic feature of STERICOM® LongLife is the long service life of the metal bellows. This offers the user a stable production process over a significantly longer period of use. The new type of spherical housing design with ideal flow transitions enables careful transport of the product with optimal cleaning efficiency. Through use of the mature VARIVENT® actuator technology the user has access to a whole range of actuators, including all ancillary equipment. In addition, proximity switches to signal valve position are available with the new open lantern design.
