Mechanical engineering and processing industry

Robust valves and customized solutions in valve and control systems are part of the GEMÜ product range that is used in cleaning processes for tool moulds or inking units, as well as in the supply of coolants and lubricants in moving machine parts. 

Whether for butterfly valves, ball valves, globe valves, diaphragm valves or multi-port valve blocks – with many years of experience in mechanical engineering and in the processing industry, GEMÜ products are reliably used around the globe.

Processing industry 4.0 with GEMÜ CONEXO

Technological progress is leading to changing procedures and processes both in the mechanical engineering industry and in the processing industry. Growing requirements with regard to automation, documentation and digitalization in particular are playing an increasingly important role. 

With GEMÜ CONEXO, we are taking a step towards Industry 4.0 and enabling the identification of pipework components, the collection of field data and the optimization of servicing process and intervals.

Examples of processes employing GEMÜ valves, measurement and control systems:

  • Expandable polystyrene foaming
  • Distribution of cooling lubricants and cutting fluids
  • Cleaning and dosing processes
  • Control and regulation of cooling and heating circuits 

Product advantages associated with the use of plastic and metal butterfly valves
