Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document is a 2014 catalog for GEA Tuchenhagen's Butterfly Valves T-smart, part of the Hygienic Valve Technology line. It details specifications, technical data, and configurations of the T-smart series, emphasizing their use in hygienic and aseptic processes in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
GEA Group Overview
The GEA Group operates globally, with segments like GEA Mechanical Equipment, which includes GEA Flow Components. This unit specializes in process components for liquid product treatment, comprising GEA Tuchenhagen in Germany, GEA Aseptomag in Switzerland, and GEA Breconcherry in Great Britain.
Product Range
GEA Flow Components offers hygienic and aseptic valve technology, pumps, and cleaning technology for industries requiring high sterility and efficiency, such as brewing, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals.
Butterfly Valves T-smart Series
The T-smart 7 series is noted for cost-effectiveness, hygienic design, and ease of maintenance. Features include a robust valve disk, low switching torque, and a one-piece flange design, available in materials like AISI 304 and AISI 316L.
Pneumatic Actuators
These actuators are compact, designed for narrow spaces, and ensure optimal cleanability. They come in air-to-spring and air-to-air variants, with integrated T.VIS® interfaces for optional accessories. The internal pneumatic system minimizes failure risks by eliminating external tubing.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
GEA Tuchenhagen emphasizes sustainability, with products designed to reduce energy, water, and chemical consumption, enhancing production efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Support and Services
GEA Tuchenhagen offers extensive engineering support and maintenance services to ensure minimal production interruptions and tailored service concepts for clients.
Specifications
The valves are designed for Ex zones, ensuring compliance with Ex regulations. They feature a compact, hygienic design with metallic stops and are available in air-to-spring and air-to-air variants. Two actuator dimensions cover sizes from DN 15 to DN 150 and ½" OD to 4" OD.
Actuator Bracket
The new design allows easier attachment and includes integrated threads for mounting screws. It features two proximity switch holders positioned at a 45° angle, adjustable by rotating the bracket 180°.
Intermediate Flange Variant
This variant allows for simple plant extension during operation, with the valve safely shutting off the process from the atmosphere. The design facilitates actuator exchange without removing the valve from the process line.
Gaskets
The vacuum-proof gaskets offer maximum stability and service life, with low torque and double-sided valve disk bearing. They are available in FDA-approved materials such as EPDM, FKM, HNBR, and VMQ.
Materials and Certifications
Product wetted parts are made from AISI 304 or AISI 316L, with optional materials for aggressive media. Flanges and disks can be certified with factory test certificate 2.2 or material inspection certificate 3.1.
Operational Conditions
The valves operate at ambient temperatures from 0 to 45 °C, with proximity switches approved for −20 to 80 °C. They must be mounted stress-free to avoid damage from thermal pipe elongation.
Control Air and Actuator Selection
Control air pressure ranges from 4.8 to 8 bar, with quality requirements according to ISO 8573-1:2010. The modular design allows for various actuator variants, including manual and pneumatic options.
Technical Data
Detailed dimensions and specifications are provided for different nominal sizes and connection types, including weld, male, and clamp flanges.
Mixproof Butterfly Valve T-smart 9
This variant offers mixproof separation of media with features like solid valve disks, compact build, and hygienic design. It ensures minimal switching loss and optimum cleanability, focusing on safety and leakage detection.
Certifications
The valves can be configured with different certificates, including factory test certificates and ATEX approval for use in explosive environments.
