Product training: Butterfly valves

Compact and practical

Enquiry about training

Content and objectives

In the GEMÜ product training course "Butterfly valves", you will acquire practical expertise on the design, function and application of modern butterfly valves. You will learn how the different variants are designed, how the sealing sleeve, shut-off disc and actuator interact - and what really matters in industrial applications. The content provides a solid foundation for the safe, efficient and hygienic operation of butterfly valves in various industries and media environments.

Basic principles of butterfly valves

Functional principle

You will gain a clear understanding of the design and function of butterfly valves. The training shows the role of the shut-off disc, bearing and housing sleeve - and how these components contribute to reliable process control.

Product advantages

We use practical examples to illustrate the advantages that butterfly valves offer in day-to-day operation: For example, compact design, low weight, easy maintenance and reliable media control.

Structure and components of butterfly valves

Structure in detail

You will gain an insight into the key components of a butterfly valve: body, disc, sealing sleeve, shaft, bearing and drive unit. We explain how these components interact - from torque transmission to sealing under changing operating conditions.

Use and safety functions

You will find out which actuator types are available, how they can be protected - and which variants are suitable for which media, temperatures or pressures.

Special variants

During the training course, you will learn about variants specially developed for hygienic or industry-specific requirements - such as for aggressive media or CIP/SIP processes.

Applications and areas of use

Industry-specific use cases

Butterfly valves are used in many industries - including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing and water treatment. You will learn what is important when using butterfly valves and what advantages they offer in various system concepts.

Technical selection criteria

We will tell you which factors need to be taken into account when selecting a fitting for a specific application: For example, temperature, pressure, flow rate, medium properties, cleanability and industry-specific standards and approvals.
