GEMÜ B44

The GEMÜ B44 3 piece metal 2/2-way pneumatic ball valve provides automated hygienic flow isolation for pharmaceutical and biotechnology process applications. The GEMÜ B44 accommodates nominal sizes from DN 8 to DN 100, regulates operating pressures up to 63 bar, and withstands extreme media temperatures ranging from -10°C to 220°C. Key Performance Capabilities: High Purity Media Integrity: The GEMÜ B44 integrates a 1.4435 stainless steel alloy body featuring a checked delta ferrite content below 3%, preventing media contamination and lowering long term maintenance costs in critical water treatment and sterile steam lines. Rapid Automated Regulation: The GEMÜ B44 incorporates pneumatic rack and pinion actuators in single acting or double acting configurations, securing automated mechanical flow control to eliminate unplanned process downtime during high cycle pipeline operations. Zero Dead-Leg Sealing: The GEMÜ B44 features an optionally cavity-filled PTFE seat seal mechanism, minimising internal dead spaces to prevent bacterial accumulation and secure complete system decontamination during stringent CIP/SIP sterilisation cycles. Safety & Compliance: Explosive Environment Security: The GEMÜ B44 integrates an antistatic device and holds ATEX conformity, preventing electrostatic ignition risks to guarantee facility safety within volatile industrial zones. Emissions & Sanitary Compliance: The GEMÜ B44 achieves FDA, USP Class VI, TA Luft, and Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 conformities, ensuring plant engineers can standardise one pneumatic sanitary valve across emission-controlled food processing and biotechnology networks. Note: The maximum operational media temperature and pressure ranges depend strictly on the specific ball valve configuration and selected connection standard for the GEMÜ B44.
