Complex processes using welded assemblies are often still being implemented today, more than 20 years after the market launch of the first M-blocks. The valves, fittings and pipe components used for this require a lot of space, a greater installation and welding effort on site and lead to a correspondingly high validation expense. Not to mention a high hold-up volume and larger deadlegs in compliance with the conventional 6D or 3D rules.

Over the years, GEMÜ has implemented over 400 different designs and thousands of customized variants of multi-port valve blocks to make processes safer, increase system availability and reduce the life cycle costs of a system as part of a total cost of ownership (TCO) concept.

We begin supporting our customers as early as the planning phase by providing them with ideas and initial drafts. We then implement the design in the 3D CAD system and adjust it to closely meet the requirements of the particular customer. This jointly developed solution is then processed in our highly efficient machine shop. Several thousand blocks, with weights ranging from 0.1 kg to 500 kg, are processed each year on our multi-axis machining centres.
