Flanged ball valve FGT

Resistant on the inside, elegant on the outside - The ball valve for aggressive media

Industrial progress is constantly presenting us with new challenges. Especially in safety-critical areas where chemical loads are extremely high, the selection of the right components is crucial. This is where the FGT flanged ball valve comes in - a solution that impresses with both internal durability and external elegance.

The valve industry knows how critical it is to choose the right valve for sensitive installation locations. Corrosion, aggressive media and high pressure ratios are just some of the challenges that need to be overcome. However, the FGT ball valve offers a pioneering answer to such challenges.

The problem with aggressive media

Areas such as the chemical industry, pharmaceuticals or petrochemical processes place high demands on the valves used, as conventional materials and designs often fail under harsh conditions. The most common problems include corrosion caused by aggressive media, which occurs particularly in chemical processing and can severely corrode both the inner and outer valve. In addition, improper stem seals often lead to leaks, allowing hazardous substances to escape in an uncontrolled manner. Another problem is the limited longevity, as materials such as painted materials cannot permanently withstand the extreme environmental influences. To meet these challenges, robust, durable and reliable solutions are needed that meet the special requirements of these industries.

The GEFA solution - FGT flanged ball valve in detail

What makes the FGT flanged ball valve from GEFA so special? The answer lies in a sophisticated combination of high-quality materials and advanced design technology.

Premium material selection
Instead of cast materials, the FGT uses a stainless steel body made of 1.4408, which ensures maximum corrosion resistance even in the toughest environments. At the same time, the wear and tear or damage that often occurs with painted surfaces is avoided.

Chemical resistance thanks to PFA lining
The thick-walled PFA lining (polyfluoroalkoxy) ensures unparalleled chemical resistance. The high diffusion resistance enables use in the processing of extremely aggressive media, which would quickly destroy conventional valves.

Sealing and safety
A spring-loaded stem seal with V-rings made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) offers absolute reliability. This minimizes the risk of leaks and increases safety, especially in areas that are subject to strict environmental or occupational safety regulations.

Automation made easy
Thanks to the EN ISO 5211 interface, the ball valve can be automated easily and cost-effectively. This includes the direct assembly of actuating elements and actuators, which makes processes even more efficient.
