GEA Niro Soavi has successfully taken part to the ANUGA Foodtec 2009 exhibition in Cologne, Germany.
The GEA Group was presenting at the ANUGA fairground an overview of its top-class technologies suitable for the food & dairy industry, approaching customers with competence, innovative products and solutions for high quality, hygienic and safe food processing.
Marco Gandini
Marco Gandini, Managing Director of GEA Niro Soavi, describes his positive point of view regarding Anuga 2009 excellent feedback.
“ In contrast to all the expectations we had because of the currently critical economic situation, we had lots of contacts and we reported successful business carried out during the fair.
The exhibition has been an excellent opportunity to talk with customers, explore the potential of new applications, discuss of new projects with the aim to create a proactive partnership on products and process developments. This shows the attitude of GEA Niro Soavi and its people to take the challenge and support the industry in the development of high added value products with an open transfer of know how in the dynamic high pressure homogenization field.
Always trying to respond to customer needs with excellent, customized and tailored solutions, we have, for the first time, introduced the innovative concept of the new homogenizer model NS5315, which will be able to cover the large scale production demands for special and high class product in food, dairy, beverage and nutraceutical applications with operating pressure up to 1500 bar” concluded Mr Gandini.
The new industrial homogenizer unit, which will be launched on the market at the end of 2009, is the result of GEA Niro Soavi know-how and engineering capabilities, to provide outstanding performance and reliability for an extended range of applications and combinations of flow rates and operating pressures not yet available on the market.
NanoVale™
The ANUGA exhibition was the opportunity to show the second generation of the high efficiency homogenizing device NanoVALVE ™ with further improved working stability even under severe aseptic conditions, able to achieve the same homogenizing effect of conventional homogenizing devices with pressure reduction up to 30%, combined with long-lasting lifetime of solid tungsten carbide wear parts for minimized maintenance requirements.
To show the importance of the complete process understanding and integration, GEA Niro Soavi has shown together with the sister company GEA TDS the new UHT pilot plant system to explore the capabilities of high pressure homogenization in combination with high efficiency heat treatments for a wide variety of food & dairy products.
Sanitary design and aseptic execution of high pressure homogenizers are the base for a successful process integration, where it is possible on pilot scale to scan the effect of a wide range of operating pressures and multiple stage homogenization with CFD optimized homogenizing valve designs.
