GEMU D41 diaphragm valve with EasyLock
New from valve manufacturer GEMU is the GEMU D41 diaphragm valve featuring EasyLock technology. This enables maintenance in seconds, reduces complexity and makes handling diaphragm valves significantly easier. GEMU says it is thereby reshaping the future of valve designs.
The pneumatically operated GEMU D41 diaphragm valve is designed for use in aseptic manufacturing sectors. The sealing concept of the valve is based on the newly developed GEMU diaphragm, which also hermetically separates the actuator from the working medium. GEMU D41 with EasyLock technology is installed entirely without loose components via a central gearbox.
The GEMU D41 diaphragm valve with EasyLock technology is easy to handle, safe to use and effective in its process. EasyLock technology offers not only more reliable installation, but also an even compression of the diaphragm. The actuator is fixed to the body via a bayonet fitting and then centrally tensioned via a gearbox entirely without any loose components using an outer hexagon. This makes actuator mounting and disassembly, commissioning and diaphragm replacement significantly simpler and quicker.
Furthermore, the diaphragm with bayonet pin facilitates diaphragm replacement, while the new diaphragm technology offers greater safety and precision in plants. Due to the new seal system with fixed chambering, the natural setting behaviour of the diaphragm is controlled such that it is no longer necessary to retighten the diaphragm. The optimised rolling behaviour of the diaphragm provides better controllability and ensures low stress on the diaphragm, meaning that maintenance intervals can be optimised to specific applications.
The new body design not only saves weight but also ensures a high flow and homogeneous flow characteristics. This enables the GEMU D41, as well as the GEMU D40 diaphragm valve already announced, to achieve up to 100% higher Kv values.
