GVF Impianti Srl is a reliable partner specialized in the design, production and supply of machines, equipment and plant for Bulk Material handling since 1964.
With more than 50 years of experience, GVF Impianti Srl is the ideal partner able to supply quality solutions for bulk material handling and for industrial automation in sectors like food, pharma, chemical, pet-food and construction materials.
The wide range of production full of transversal products characterizes the company organization, which is divided in 6 main divisions: dense phase pneumatic conveying systems, bulk material handling systems and equipment, mixing and dosing technology, filtration systems, recycling systems and foundry machineries and plants.
Each company division represents the know-how and the experience gained in each sector of application, making the company become able to design and produce components, complex machines as well as complete turn-key plants.
The main feature which distinguishes the company production is the search for the quality, following both the plant’s efficiency and the effectiveness of the adopted solution.
GVF Impianti Srl’s objective is to supply advanced solutions combining quality and innovation, which makes the customer’s job easier and which guarantees a fast return on investment.
INNOVATIVE AND EFFICIENT SYSTEMS
Together since 1964 to solve bulk material handling problems
To be successful in today’s global industrial machineries’ market, companies need to provide Mission-Driven Machines which are smarter, more functional and easier to maintain.
The market expects maximum durability, not only on a day-to-day basis, but also in the long term, in order to remain productive for years. That is why GVF Impianti’s main objective has always been satisfying customer’s needs, even if it requires high levels of product’s customization and quality.
The company has a long story of positive results. It was founded in 1964 by three partners, and thanks to the experience they gained in building and designing machineries and plants in the USA, they firstly began to serve the foundry sector.
Year after year the company has slowly improved the production range, by supplying products in more and more sectors of application, such as food, pharma, chemical and pet-food sectors, and to different types of customers.
In 2000 the company becomes a family-owned company, and with the ownership also the company view changed, in order to become more and more customer oriented.
Recently the company has enlarged its target markets abroad, by suppling goods and establishing business relationships in many European countries.
For the coming years its main goal is to continue to supply high quality solutions to its customers, with the support of its selected partners. Efficiency and Effectiveness are the key-words.
“Ideas, Projects and Solutions in order to provide our customer with the best possible product.”
IN-HOUSE ENGINEERING
One of the most powerful strength of the company is its ability to design and produce in-house standardized and customized products, in order to satisfy each possible customer’s need.
The company studies each production process of its customers, in order to provide them with the best solution, not only in terms of productivity, but also in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. This allows GVF Impianti to be able to projectnthe entire systems’ functioning and management logic.
The engineering department uses the most up-to-date design and 3D simulation systems. Engineers interact with the mechanical production department, and follow all the production phases up to the assembling, the start-up and the commissioning of the machine in customer’s premises.
PED COMPLIANT PRODUCTS
In order to improve the production quality and to control all the production processes internally, GVF Impianti Srl has decided to request and obtain the WPS (Welding Procedure Standard) certification.
The company is now able to produce PED compliant vessels for its pneumatic conveyors, certified by TÜV (CE0948). Indeed, the management strongly believes that the in-house production of products is part of the company’s strength, because it allows products customization and quality controls for the entire production system.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
GVF Impianti is also able to provide a complete service of in-house industrial automation, for its machineries and its complete turnkey plants, thanks to an internal software development department, which follows and studies all projects in order to provide the best solutions. The software development department takes care of the software project and the mechanical automation project. It also follows the creation and assembly of control, power and monitoring panels. Moreover, in order to offer the best possible solution in terms of industrial automation, our company has established some important partnerships with major global powerhouses such as Siemens. This resulted in a fundamental quality guarantee and improvement.
DENSE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEMS
The dense phase pneumatic conveying system transports the product at low speed, using a small amount of air and reducing the energy consumption.
GVF Impianti’s technology prevents contamination between the transported materials thanks to a process control that executes cleaning cycles every product’s change.
DISTINCTIVE MARKS OF GVF PNEUMATIC CONVEYORS
GVF Impianti Srl has developed during the years mainly four types of pneumatic conveyors, which sati- sfy different needs: GA, GC, GA COMBO and GA-A. GA type is suitable for the transport of normal wearing materials, is designed with an inlet butterfly valve and is supplied complete of electro-pneumatical panel in box. GC type has been developed to convey particularly abrasive material, thanks to the special inlet cone valve designed by GVF Impianti, which guarantees a high resistance to wear.
The conveyor is supplied complete of its electro-pneumatical panel in box too. GA COMBO type has the same features of GA type but it is studied to be compact, economical and modular, really useful if the available space is reduced. Its distinctive mark is the electro-pneumatical panel installed on board the vessel. Finally, the GA-A type is suitable if it is necessary to weigh the product before the transport. Indeed, it is equipped with load cells and with a load control unit, which allows to create batches of product just before the transport. But, what distinguishes all these pneumatic conveyors from the competitors is the special design of some components and the unique air distribution system. Indeed, all GVF Impianti’s pneumatic conveyors are equipped with outlets made in cast iron, and further strengthen by a thermal treatment. In addition, the outlet unit is equipped with spilt flanges made in cast iron too, which allow to have an easy directing of the outlet pipe.
Very important in terms of performance is also the exclusive uniform air distribution system, which distributes the compressed air in three main parts of the vessel: in the outlet, laterally and in the central part.
GVF Impianti Srl can supply on request also pneumatic conveyors for high temperatures and high performance pneumatic conveyors HP type, for long distances and big hourly capacities.
Finally, all GVF Impianti’s pneumatic conveyors offer the following advantages: automatic execution, low wear, reduced product breakages and un-mixing, low air consumption, efficient product/air ratio, low operational and maintenance costs.
PNEUMATIC CONVEYING COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENT
In the pneumatic conveying systems’ production range GVF Impianti produces also all the pneumatic conveying components (such as pipeline’s boosters, pinch valves and wear-resistant bends) and diverter valves (two-ways diverter valves and multi-ways diverter valves).
Indeed, very interesting are the two-ways diverter valves which are mainly divided in 3 types: DAS, DP and Y. The two-ways diverter valves DAS type are studied to be installed on the top of the silos, in order to divert the product between more silos or to become a terminal box made in wear-resistant material. DP type allows to divert the material from one to two ways, and is particularly suitable for abrasive products. Y type is equipped with two pinch valves, and allows to select between two ways.
But, if the number of ways in which the product should be sent is higher than two, GVF Impianti has developed a very interesting multi-ways diverter valve DS type, which allows to divert the material flow up to 12 destinations.
