Energhe S.p.A. has made Thermal
Energy International’s GEM venturi
orifice steam traps its steam trap of
choice following rigorous testing at
parent company, Ferrero Group’s HQ
in Alba, Italy. To date 150 GEM steam
traps have replaced mechanical traps
in the Ferrero Group’s sites in Italy,
Germany and Ireland.

Instead of using a valve mechanism
to close off steam for energy and
water conservation, the GEM steam
traps use the venturi orifice design to
effectively drain condensate from the
steam system. As they have no
moving parts to wedge open or fail,
they provide a high degree of
reliability, and need only minimal
maintenance and no spares.
