What sets the new motorized GEMÜ Q51 pinch valve apart is its compact design, and consequently its small footprint in the plant. Thanks to its motorized actuator, the new pinch valve can also be used even in environments where compressed air is not available. It expands the GEMÜ product range in the sector of single-use pinch valves, in actuator size 0 for tube inside diameters of 1/8" and 1/4" and tube outside diameters of 1/4", 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2".
For single-use pinch valves, the tube is inserted into a secured retainer. The medium inside the tube can be regulated and controlled by compressing the tube. The compressor of all GEMÜ pinch valves has a specially developed contour, which minimizes the stress on the tubes and increases the service life. This is also the case for the GEMÜ Q51. This makes it suitable for single-use applications where the focus is on a compact design and a simplified plant design, and where cross contamination must be avoided.
