GEMÜ 616

The GEMÜ 616 2/2-way manual metal diaphragm valve provides sterile flow isolation for critical pharmaceutical and high purity industrial processing lines. The GEMÜ 616 accommodates nominal sizes from DN 4 to DN 20, regulates operating pressures up to 10 bar, and handles intermittent sterilisation temperatures up to 150°C. Key Performance Capabilities: Compression Spring Security: The GEMÜ 616 features internal actuator compression springs that close the valve with a consistent mechanical force, eliminating manual overdrive to extend diaphragm service life and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Sterile Process Integration: The GEMÜ 616 delivers complete CIP/SIP (Cleaning and Sterilisation in Place) capability and withstands autoclave sterilisation environments, preventing biological contamination to guarantee sterile product yields within aseptic fluid networks. Hermetic External Sealing: The GEMÜ 616 supports an optionally sealed actuator version, protecting internal mechanical components during rigorous facility washdown routines to eliminate biological ingress and secure aseptic processing zones. Safety & Compliance: High Purity Environmental Security: The GEMÜ 616 holds FDA, USP Class VI, and BSE/TSE conformities, preventing biological contamination to guarantee process safety within sterile biopharmaceutical production lines. Emissions & Regulatory Compliance: The GEMÜ 616 achieves TA Luft conformity alongside European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU compliance, ensuring plant engineers can standardise manual fluid control across strict emission-controlled industrial networks. Note: The maximum operational media temperature and pressure ranges depend strictly on the specific diaphragm material and selected body configuration for the GEMÜ 616.
