The Gemco Valve Advantage
Learn About The Three Major Advantages Of The Gemco Valve Design
Full Port Openings
Gemco Valve’s solution for material bridging: Unlike a butterfly valve the shutoff disc swings completely out of the flow of the material preventing bridging and promoting mass flow.
Self-Cleaning Areas
Gemco Valve’s solution for material jamming: Unlike a gatevalve, the self-cleaning action tends to wipe the material away from the sealing area instead of jamming abrasives into the sealing track.
No Pinch Points
Gemco Valve’s solution for material packing: With a spherical disc or dome valve shape there are no tight cavities for materials to pack and jam-up causing the seat to tear or the operation to cease.
