Goetze overflow and pressure control valves are engineered for precise pressure regulation and pump protection across a wide range of industrial applications, including chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and shipbuilding industries. They can handle liquids, gases, vapors, and steam.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Function: These valves are designed to protect systems from overpressure, often used as bypass valves in pump circuits or as pressure control devices. They feature proportional opening and closing characteristics.
- Materials: Common materials include high-quality stainless steel and gunmetal, offering robust corrosion resistance suitable for both neutral and non-neutral/aggressive media.
- Pressure and Temperature Ranges: Goetze offers a wide array of models covering set pressures from 0.2 bar up to 1,000 bar and temperatures from -200°C to +260°C, depending on the specific series and sealing materials (e.g., PTFE, NBR, FKM).
- Design Options: The valves are available in various configurations, including angle-type and straight-through flow designs, with connection options such as threaded, clamp (hygienic), and flanged connections.
- Maintenance: Many models are designed for ease of maintenance, featuring replaceable cartridges and external adjustment capabilities, which can be done even during operation.
- Hygienic Applications: Specific series (e.g., 400.5, 418, 453) are designed for hygienic processes (Clean-in-Place/Sterilisation-in-Place - CIP/SIP), featuring minimal dead space, polished surfaces, and clamp connections to meet stringent industry standards.
