We are your service partner for GESTRA products for steam, condensate and process liquid
Wolfgang Mehner GmbH is a longstanding, qualified trading and service partner for products "Made by Gestra". Our development started as a trading partner, to base trading and has now reached the highest status "Technology Partner". This enables us to competently sell the entire GESTRA range. We score points in the market with complete solutions paired with competent and trained expertise and advice. Customized solutions with our strong partner Gestra AG are an advantage for our customers.
Investigation of condensate technology and plant systems + repair + service for industrial electronics, condensate drains, boiler fittings are additional services from our company. The Gestra AG production program includes fittings and control technology for steam and condensate technology.
The manufacturing program includes, among other things, condensate drains, non-return valves, desalination and blowdown valves, pressure and temperature controllers, control valves, return temperature limiters, industrial electronics, for boiler equipment and boiler monitoring, level control, conductivity monitoring, oil and turbidity detectors, condensate return systems and containers.
GESTRA steam traps
Ball-Float Traps with floating ball
Suitable for small and large condensate quantities, irrespective of the counterpressure, duplex control system with automatic ventilation, simplex control e.g. for cold condensates. Particularly suitable for controlled systems.
Thermostatic Steam Traps with Bimetallic Regulator
Robust controller for the toughest operating conditions, insensitive against water shocks and frost, can be used as air vents.
Thermostatic Steam Traps with Membrane Regulator
High sensitivity, irrespective of the counterpressure, suitable for large condensate quantities
* Tandem diaphragm for low condensate quantities, can be used as a ventilator, application in pharmaceutical and food industry.

GESTRA systems engineering
Heat transfer system type PWT-XPS
The GESTRA heat transfer system consisting of a plate heat exchanger XPS in fully welded version in the shell-&-plate design and is equipped with the following components: on the steam side with blocking valve, strainer and electric control valve with safety reset and on the condenser side with pumping condensate drain, check valve, blocking valve.
Measuring and control technology consists of: Safety temperature limiter, safety pressure limiter, temperature sensor, thermostat, thermometer, manometer and safety valve. The system is ready for connection mounted and wired and is delivered on a stable base frame.
Condensate tank type SDL
Cylindrical condensate collecting tanks are designed as standard version for condensate flow rates up to 30 t / h and an operating pressure of 4 bar Max. Higher pressures and pressure sets are available on request. There are containers in lying and standing versions. They are equipped with two adjacent condensate pumps, bimetallic dial thermometer, valve submersible indicator, GESTRA level controller and level electrodes for automatic operation of pumps, check valves, safety valve, anti-vacuum valve, vents, shut-off devices, high pressure centrifugal pumps, manometer and control cabinet to the pump control assembled ready for connection.
Steam converters, pure steam generator
Steam converters produce saturated steam for a secondary system of steam from steam or hot water. Steam generators used mainly for the production of pure steam, where no harmful substances, such as hydrazine, may be included. Applications are e.g. for sterilizing equipment in hospitals, for steam and dry chambers in the food processing, for steam heating systems, for the production of distillates etc. Pure steam systems are available with mechanical, electrical or electro-pneumatic heating steam control.
