An engineering tradition that secures first place in innovations.
GEMÜ is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of valves, measurement and control systems. GEMÜ's international success is based essentially on the enterprise and pioneering spirit of Fritz Müller, who developed the world's first plastic process valve in 1965. This directly controlled solenoid valve was the starting point for the foundation of GEMÜ in 1964. 
 
Product and system solutions:
GEMÜ services for key global sectors. 
Valves, measurement and control systems by GEMÜ are used successfully in process engineering and adjacent fields of activity. GEMÜ system technology covers the complete process cycle, from the individual detailed solution, which represents an essential quality criterion in many processes, right through to the universal overall solution.

valves 1Multi-port valve blocks for cost-effective plant design
Department manager plastic: "Modules that compress several functions in the smallest of spaces are no longer simply alternatives for special solutions, but are gradually becoming an integral part of plant engineering planning. We offer the correct solutions appropriate to the needs of our customers. GEMÜ expertise in the design of valve block solutions and plastics processing combines perfectly for offering plastic multi-port valves. As a valve specialist we reduce the space requirements for process plant and, at the same time, increase the performance capability of our system components. GEMÜ multi-port valve blocks made of stainless steel and plastic combine various functions for the control of liquids and gases in the smallest possible space."

Customised block solutions from GEMÜ are designed to be compact, lightweight and with optimized draining. They have a clearly reduced deadleg, no internal welds or solvent-cemented joints, provide increased product reliability and reduce the total cost of ownership. This enables complex valve interfaces to be implemented with an extensive range of functions which are both
highly efficient and also conserve the environment. The combination of single valves and blocks provides obvious advantages for plant designers.
 
In plants involving complex processes in particular, designers and buyers in the mechanical and plant engineering sector strive to make the most of cost advantages in terms of “total cost of ownership". They are increasingly focusing on compact, integrated modular solutions which combine several components and can be quickly and easily assembled. As a specialist in valves, measurement and control systems, we continue to use intelligent design to meet these requirements head on. With blocks and valve ranges, in addition to saving space, we also offer plant designers the advantage of saving on costs for energy, transport and resources. 
 
We integrate various functions in the customised block design: 
Blending, dividing, channeling, draining, feeding or cleaning! Double shut offs, cross connections, safety and control functions as well as the integration of sensors, filters and check valves are also possible. We can even integrate tanks, process basins and plant housing walls as well as mounting points. Application-specific tasks are assigned to these individual functions, such as distributing media, sampling, sterile steam or connecting cleaning media. They also can be used to implement process engineering solutions, such as a minimum flow rate or a block and bleed safety function. Block solutions provide a greatly simplified alternative to complex pipe work with valves, fittings, sensors etc. The block assemblies already house all the required pipe work, fittings and connections. In addition to valves, GEMÜ offers a comprehensive range of accessories including controllers, flowmeters, stroke limiters and customized sensors which can be integrated into the multi-port valve block.
 
Intelligent block solutions: highest process system safety ensured
Combining functions in the smallest of spaces offers several advantages: the hold-up volumes of media in the system are measurably minimized, the flow optimized, the draining improved. This enhances the performance of the entire system and reduces media consumption. Another advantage of blocks is that they provide junction points within the plant. This allows easier cleaning and servicing. GEMÜ multi-port valve blocks are tried and tested leak-proof units.
 
Plastic Multi-Port Valve Blocks: Wide range of applications 
GEMÜ compact, lightweight, plastic multi-port valve blocks are suitable for a wide range of applications in various industrial sectors. The range of cost effective applications extends from installations for chemical processes in the chemical industry, environmental chemistry and plant solutions in surface finishing, coating and electroplating, as well as municipal and industrial water treatment, all the way through to solutions for power stations. Even when it comes to sensitive processes and technologies, such as reverse osmosis plant, neutralisation, swimming pools with microfiltration systems and chemical processes involving aggressive and corrosive media, multi-port valves are a cost effective alternative to conventional valve designs. 
 
Good planning leads to good construction: the customer calls the shots
A prerequisite for customized block design is a high level of transparency of the requirements and exact planning. Errors in the planning of production plant result in high consequential costs due to delays and extra costs for validation, late commissioning, contaminated batches and later modifications to the plant. GEMÜ co-operates very closely with customers in the development of multi-port valve solutions for industrial plant. GEMÜ's engineers develop ideas and initial drafts as early as during the project stage. These are then implemented constructively and manufactured in a highly efficient GEMÜ production process.
