Through conduit wafer valve is designed for media with high consistency. The double seat design assures a non-clogging shut off on either normal or reverse flow.
DESIGNNING FEATURES:
» BODY: Wafer style cast two-part bolted body, internally machined, with reinforced ribs in larger diameters for extra body strength. Full port design for greater flow capacity and minimal pressure drop.
» SELFCLEANING GATE: Stainless steel gate as standard. One piece gate with o-port design. While closing, the gate moves a disc of material laterally which returns to the flow when opening. Gate is polished on both sides for a greater seal between the gate with
both packing and seat. On request: thickness and/or material of the gate can be changed for higher pressure requirement.
» RESILIENT TIGHT SHUT-OFF SEAT: Unique design that mechanically locks the seat in the internal of the valve body with a stainless steel retainer ring. Standard EPDM; also available in different materials such as Viton, PTFE, etc.
» PACKING: Double stuffing box with several layers of braided fibre plus an EPDM o-ring, with an easy access packing gland ensuring a tight seal. Long-life braided packing is available in a wide range of materials.
» STEM: The standard stainless steel stem offers a long corrosion resistant life. For rising stem handwheel actuators only, a stem protector is provided for additional protection against dust while the valve is in the open position.
