The sealing principle of the GEMÜ 567 BioStar Control 2/2-way control valve is based on GEMÜ PD technology, which won the ACHEMA Innovation Award 2018 in the "Valves/seals" category. All actuator parts and the regulating cone or regulating needle are made of stainless steel, while the seal uses a diaphragm made of PTFE. The control valve was also nominated for the ACHEMA Innovation Award 2018 in the "Pharmaceutical engineering" category.

At the ACHEMA 2018 trade fair, GEMÜ presented the new filling valve generation with types F40 and F60. Owing to their cone-shaped diaphragms, the valves are particularly suitable for aseptic filling in the pharmaceutical and biochemical sectors and in the drinks industry. The judging panel of the ACHEMA Innovation Award 2018 placed the valve solution on the shortlist of the five best submissions in the category "Packaging and fluid filling applications".

The ultra-pure 2/2-way plastic diaphragm globe valves in the iComLine product range have a PFA or PTFE valve body. A cone-shaped one-piece PTFE diaphragm seals this off hermetically from the actuator. The external actuator parts are made of PVDF. The union nuts are available in PVDF, PFA and C-PFA. In addition to 2/2-way valve bodies, customized multi-port valve block solutions can be produced.
