Hello and welcome to the GEA Center of Competence for hygienic pumps. My name is Oliver Harder. I'm Product Sales Manager and with me is Melanie Streb, head of QHSE. In industries where hygiene is non-negotiable every detail matters. For us quality is not a goal, it's a promise. We ensure quality in each pump we produce. How do we do that, Melanie? Our business line Hygienic Pumps operates under certified processes according to, for example ISO 9001 or 45001 and we comply with international standards such as FDA or 3-A, if required. Our production combines long standing expertise with state of the art measuring technology to meet the highest hygienic standards. We document weld seam, perform surface and delta-ferrite measurements and offer additional procedures such as electro polishing or dye-penetrant testing upon customer request. Melanie, what does QHSE stand for? Quality, health, safety and environment are at the core of everything we do. With clearly defined process maps, complete batch traceability and measurement reports we ensure the highest product and process quality to meet also the strict hygienic standards. Melanie, which pumps are tested on the test bench? Every pump is 100% tested at our test bench, including pressure, leak and sound level measurements on demand before leaving our facility to ensure reliability and performance. Each pump comes with a unique QR code providing direct access to its digital product passport, technical data and operating manual - transparent and always available. Thank you, Melanie for these interesting insights. You're welcome Oli. So you see, from the beginning of the production to the final inspection, we deliver pumps that you can trust.
