The GEMÜ range at Armaturenfabrik

We trade in GEMÜ valves and supply from the manufacturer range. The series described below are the ones we supply most often – we can source the complete GEMÜ range, including series not listed here.

Diaphragm valves: why this design

In a diaphragm valve, a diaphragm separates the actuator completely from the medium. There is no stem passing through the medium, and therefore no gland packing that can leak. That is exactly why this design is standard in pharmaceutical and food technology and for media carrying solids – and why it still works where a ball or a plug would long since have jammed.

FeatureValue
Seriestype 671 hand-operated, types 675, 687 and 695 in further actuation types
Function2/2-way diaphragm valve
Nominal sizesDN 4 to DN 100
Operating pressure0 to 10 bar
Medium temperature−10 to +80 °C on the type 671, higher limits depending on diaphragm material
Ambient temperature0 to 60 °C
Body materialsstainless steel 1.4408, 1.4435 or 1.4539
Equipmentoptical position indicator as standard, lockable handwheel clamp on the type 671, extensive accessories up to an electrical position indicator

The diaphragm material is the actual selection criterion: it determines media compatibility and the temperature limit, not the body.

Victoria butterfly valve: three body variants

The GEMÜ Victoria is a centric butterfly valve with an elastomer liner in DN 25 to DN 600. It is available in three body forms – wafer for installation between flanges, lug with threaded lugs for use as an end-of-line valve, and U-type.

FeatureValue

Connection standardsPN 10, PN 16 and ASME B16.5 Class 150
Max. operating pressure3, 10 or 16 bar depending on version
Top flangeto EN ISO 5211
Actuator variantsGEMÜ 487 with hand lever or pneumatic actuator, GEMÜ 488 with electric on/off or modulating actuator
Applicationgaseous and liquid media in industry and in water treatment

Optional: adaptations to GEMÜ valves

The standard case is supply of the GEMÜ series version. Only on express request do we add to GEMÜ deliveries:

  • diaphragm material to suit medium and temperature
  • body variant wafer, lug or U-type on the Victoria
  • actuation from manual through to electric modulating actuator
  • diaphragm valve completed with actuator and documentation

FAQs

Can GEMÜ valves be customized?

Yes – diaphragm material, body variant and actuator can be selected; further connections available.

For media carrying solids and for sterile media, and for water treatment.

Yes, fitted on request with a hand lever, pneumatic or modulating actuator.

A single contact accompanies sizing, procurement and installation. For GEMÜ we agree on automation, function testing and documentation in advance.

Because of the high reliability, quality and specialization in sterile applications – and our experience as a partner.
