GEA engineers have now redesigned the double-seat valves for milk processing in line with the PMO specifications and eliminated the risk with a special under pressure in the leakage space suctioning up any cleaning medium that may have overflowed, thus pressure cannot build up on the valve disk. This means that if a line and its sealing points are being cleaned, the other line can continue to conduct product.

GEA is the first manufacturer of double-seat valves to meet the strict requirements of the PMO. The approval of Low Emission Flip Flop for the USA is a great success: 'Water shortage is a critical issue especially in California. We are pleased to be able to help our customers in the USA with LEFF® by lowering water consumptions alleviating other cost pressure in their operations,' summarizes Bastian Tolle, Head of Product Group Management Flow Components at GEA.

Good news for existing customers in the United States as well: LEFF® is already integrated in the T.VIS® A-15 control head of the VARIVENT® 24/7 PMO 2.0 and only needs to be switched on to be used in existing applications. Additional system technology and programming are not required.
