Industrial motors are often described in terms of horsepower, voltage, efficiency class, or frame size. Yet in heavy industries like oil and gas, power generation, mining, pulp and paper, water treatment, and beyond, motor reliability is not determined by nameplate data. Long term performance depends just as much on what happens before startup and after commissioning as it does on the motor’s electromagnetic design.

GEMÜ is consistently driving forward with automation and electrification of biopharmaceutical processes: With immediate effect, the motorized pinch valve GEMÜ Q50 eSyStep is also available for tube sizes of up to 1” inside diameter.
