Through its cutting-edge product development, the valve expert GEMÜ is introducing notable new functionalities to the market that cater to the needs of contemporary process automation. Beneath the title LEAP – Lean. Efficient. Agile. Platformized. – GEMÜ is showcasing a collection of innovative products characterized by their modular design and adaptability, utilizing contemporary production techniques. The initial features of this new generation comprise two new valves and a unique position indicator, which greatly enhance efficiency and safety during the process.
GEMÜ P40: Effective tank bottom valve designed for sterile uses
The GEMÜ P40 is an innovative new tank bottom valve designed for sterile applications. GEMÜ P40 utilizes the trusted Plug Diaphragm (PD) technology, featuring a radially sealing PTFE diaphragm that ensures complete separation between the actuator and the medium.
Due to its optimized design, the tank bottom valve minimizes contamination risk, prevents possible sediment buildup, and is simple to clean. The valve body and radially sealing diaphragm are precisely aligned to guarantee optimal idle performance whether the valve is open or closed. Moreover, the innovative pretensioning of the patented PD designed particularly for tank bottom valves guarantees low-maintenance functionality.
GEMÜ S40: Varied globe valve for industrial applications
The new GEMÜ S40 globe valve is characterized by its wide range of variants and long service life. The maintenance effort and assembly time can be significantly reduced due to the standardized construction standards, a central union nut and the top-mounted air connections. It is designed for use in industrial applications and allows wear parts such as the seal packing, spindle, seat seal and sealing washer to be replaced quickly.
The anti-rotation lock in the piston makes it easier to replace the spindle, while the robust design and optimized geometry of the valve ensure a high level of process reliability. In addition, a sight glass above the optical position indicator prevents the ingress of dirt and cleaning fluids. Thanks to downward compatibility, the new actuators can also be retrofitted to existing systems.
GEMÜ 12A0: Electrical position indicator for the highest demands
A central component of the new product range is the GEMÜ 12A0, an intelligent, electrical position indicator for pneumatic process valves of the new product generation. It offers state-of-the-art communication interfaces such as Asi-5 and IO-Link. Thanks to contactless position detection using Hall sensors, the GEMÜ 12A0 provides a precise and wear-free solution for process automation.
Noteworthy is the independent initialization of the module, which enables simple initial operation and maintenance. In addition, the integrated sensor technology enables comprehensive condition monitoring and forms the basis for predictive maintenance. Unplanned system downtimes can be avoided by monitoring parameters such as temperature, humidity and operating pressure.
