Utilising a FDA-approved moulded PFA or TFM body liner and silicone backing material, the GEMÜ 490 butterfly valve is suited to API pharmaceuticals such as CIP (clean in place) systems.
In a hot sterilised water system application, GEMÜ 490 PFA butterfly valves are used in the recirculation line as these have compact dimensions yet high flow rates and high chemical resistance.
The hot water sterilisation system enables closed receptacles made of glass or other temperature resistant materials, such as ampoules, to be sterilised gently, yet quickly and reliably.
The advantage of a hot water sterilisation system lies in its very short cycle times, which are achieved through a high circulation rate in combination with short heating up and cooling down times.
