Founded in 1802, this company, with 15,700 employees worldwide, produces high-quality components primarily for plastic piping systems in PVC-U, ABS, PVC-C, PP, PE, PVDF, and PB. These include pipes, fittings, valves, welding machines, measuring and control components, and more.
These products are used in various market segments, such as the chemical process industry, water treatment, life sciences, food and beverage, semiconductors, shipbuilding, utility construction, and water and gas distribution.
Infrared welding, now also for PVC-U
The introduction of the brand-new, automatic infrared welding machine IR-225 M provides Piece-of-Mind by guaranteeing the highest possible weld quality. This revolutionary welding technique is suitable for welding PVDF, PP-H, PP-n, ECTFE, and PE100. Now also for PVC-U; d63 mm. Completely unique and a significant development that allows PVC-U to benefit from the automated welding process – bringing even high-end applications within reach. We'd be happy to demonstrate this to you at our booth.
Plastic butterfly valves, now up to DN600
GF is known for innovation in piping systems. We offer a wide range of corrosion-free products suitable for various applications. In recent years, we've continuously expanded our range of plastic butterfly valves. At the Pumps & Valves trade fair, we'll be showcasing various types in different versions. We also have a brand-new butterfly valve, type 565 DN400. Never before seen on the Dutch market!
Do you have challenges in piping systems? Feel free to visit us at booth H10, and our sales team will work with you to find a suitable solution.

vlinderklep type 565
Vlinderklep 565 – Verslaat metaal in iedere ronde! De nieuwe vlinderklep type 565 is speciaal ontworpen als complete probleemoplosser voor alle water gerelateerde applicaties. Kunststof vlinderkleppen hadden al bewezen in veel opzichten beter te presteren dan metalen vlinderkleppen dankzij een hogere corrosiebestendigheid en een lager gewicht. Met de 565 lost u alle problemen op die u ondervindt met metalen vlinderkleppen.
PVC-U infraroodlassen met nieuwe IR-63 M lasmachine
GF Piping Systems has introduced the successor to the IR-63 Plus infrared welding machine – the IR-63 M. The new machine retains the familiar technology, but integrates new hardware and software features for faster, easier and more efficient welding of various plastic piping systems. The IR-63 infrared welding machines offer the unique ability to weld PVC-U, which offers major advantages over gluing, which until recently was the only possible joining method for PVC-U. Why IR welding of PVC-U is revolutionary IR welding of PVC-U is a technological breakthrough. Adhesive bonding limits the applications of PVC-U, due to the limited chemical resistance of the adhesive, which made the material unsuitable for applications with aggressive media such as concentrated nitric acid. The IR-63 M welding machine uses non-contact infrared radiation to create a completely homogeneous connection, without solvents or risk of contamination, unlike adhesives. These strong joints have a minimal weld bead, which ensures optimum flow in the welding zone. In addition, welding errors are virtually eliminated thanks to the fully controlled welding process. Each weld is documented with a welding protocol, which enables maximum traceability and quality control. The IR-63 M is faster, easier to use and more efficient The IR-63 M welding machine is designed to significantly improve installation processes. Thanks to advanced hardware and software functions, the machine offers numerous advantages. For example, the new machine can save up to 20% on preparation time, partly due to the possibility of adjusting individual milling lengths per side. In addition, the welding process is carried out in 30% fewer steps and the cooling times are up to 50% shorter than with the previous generation of machines. This allows installers to work much faster and reduces the total project costs.
Vlinderklep type 565 Lugstyle
GF has specifically developed the plastic butterfly valve type 565 as a complete problem solver for all water-related applications. The 565 solves all typical problems that you or the end customer experience with metal butterfly valves. Robust - Swiss quality - No corrosion thanks to high-quality plastic - Longer system life - Lower maintenance costs and fewer production stops Light weight - 60% lighter compared to metal butterfly valves - Therefore lower transport and operating costs - No need for hoisting - Easy to install Modular - Drive easy to install afterwards - Standard interface enables automation and digitalization of your systems - Therefore more cost-effective and efficient At our stand during Aqua Nederland you can come and see the 565L (Lugstyle) version of this plastic butterfly valve. Due to the thread in the housing, the butterfly valve has the advantage of also being able to be used as an end stop valve. In addition, Lugstyle butterfly valves are used as standard in many projects, where the use of the plastic 565L is now also possible.
GF Infrared Fusion Machine IR-225 M
Our trusted IR-225 Plus infrared welding machine, after 33 successful years in the market, is making way for its innovative successor - the new IR-225 M. This new infrared welding machine can weld PVDF, PP-H, PP-n, ECTFE, PE100, PVC-U (metric) and CONTAIN-IT Plus and is suitable, depending on the material, for diameters from d63 mm to d225 mm. Some of the advantages of the IR-225 M: § Save time and costs with up to 60% shorter cooling times § Compact, lightweight and at the same time unabatedly powerful § Touchscreen with comprehensive instructions in 20 available languages § Includes one adjustable pipe stopper, one pipe stopper with and one pipe stopper without corner marking § Easy management and storage of welding protocols with CONNECT Welding Data (cloud) The machine comes with integrated worktable, label printer and CONNECT Welding Data box. Compared to the IR-225 Plus, the IR-225 M now also allows you to weld PVC-U (in the dimension d63 mm) and various diameters of other materials. The new IR-225 M infrared welding machine is available immediately and replaces the IR-225 Plus in our product range.
