Technology innovation: GEMÜ D41 diaphragm valve with EasyLock

The valve manufacturer GEMÜ, the global market leader in the valves, measurement and control systems sector for sterile applications, has developed a new valve product as part of its new product generation. The GEMÜ D41 diaphragm valve features EasyLock technology. This enables maintenance in seconds, reduces complexity and makes handling diaphragm valves significantly easier. GEMÜ is thereby reshaping the future of valve designs.

The pneumatically operated GEMÜ D41 diaphragm valve is designed for use in aseptic manufacturing sectors. The sealing concept of the valve is based on the newly developed GEMÜ diaphragm, which also hermetically separates the actuator from the working medium. GEMÜ D41 with EasyLock technology is installed entirely without loose components via a central gearbox.

The GEMÜ D41 diaphragm valve with EasyLock technology is easy to handle, safe to use and effective in its process. EasyLock technology offers not only more reliable installation, but also an even compression of the diaphragm. The actuator is fixed to the body via a bayonet fitting and then centrally tensioned via a gearbox entirely without any loose components using an outer hexagon. This makes actuator mounting and disassembly, commissioning and diaphragm replacement significantly simpler and quicker.

Furthermore, the diaphragm with bayonet pin facilitates diaphragm replacement, while the new diaphragm technology offers greater safety and precision in plants. Due to the new seal system with fixed chambering, the natural setting behaviour of the diaphragm is controlled such that it is no longer necessary to retighten the diaphragm. The optimized rolling behaviour of the diaphragm provides better controllability and ensures low stress on the diaphragm, meaning that maintenance intervals can be optimized to specific applications. The new body design not only saves weight but also ensures a high flow and homogeneous flow characteristics. This enables the GEMÜ D41, as well as the GEMÜ D40 diaphragm valve already announced, to achieve up to 100% higher Kv values.

The pioneering products of the GEMÜ LEAP product generation not only include the GEMÜ D41, but also three further valves and two automation components:

GEMÜ D40 – the high-performance, pneumatic diaphragm valve

GEMÜ S40 – the pneumatic globe valve with angle seat and straight seat designs

GEMÜ P40 – the efficient tank bottom valve with PD technology

GEMÜ 12A0 – the intelligent electrical position indicator

GEMÜ 44A0 – the multi-functional combi switchbox

Throughout 2025 and 2026, GEMÜ Great Britain are running a nationwide roadshow, giving customers the chance to explore the new innovations up close and discover how they can enhance applications. You can book a demo visit by emailing: customer.support@gemu.co.uk
