Processing is a complicated issue. However, for a Ball Segment Valve, we believe the issue is simple. Containment Systems possess the manufacturing experience, the relevant industry expertise and a high level of professional competence. Combine this with individual advice, excellent engineering, customer’s preferences, and last but not as least, optimized performance, and you possess a valve suitable for performance at the highest levels.
A Ball Segment Valve consists of a housing and ball segment that is supported on two sides by maintenance-free self lubricated bearings and sealed with an inflatable seal. A 90° rotation of the segment allows even hard to flow products to pass the valve’s full bore in a short amount of the time. During the rotation, the segment moves freely past the spherically shaped housing. A Ball Segment Valve can be used both as an inlet and a discharge valve and can be used to close off a stream of flowing product.
During the rotation, the segment moves freely past the spherically shaped housing. A Ball Segment Valve can be used both as an inlet and a discharge valve and can be used to close off a stream of flowing product. The most commonly used applications in which the Ball Segment Valves are applied are:
- Conical Blenders and Mixers
- Dryers
- Reactors
- Double conical dryers
- Horizontal blenders and dryers
- Agitator vessels
- Centrifuges
- Sluices
- Piping
All Ball Segment Valves are manufactured individually. The application of a Ball Segment Valve in dryers and blenders can also result in a system with a minimum of dead space. This will not only increase the product quality but also guarantees a continuous high grade process. All Ball Segment Valves are certified according to Air Quality Control "TA-Luft VDI 2440".
Inflatable Seal:
For more demanding process conditions or products various inflatable seal materials are available. In its closed position, the seal automatically inflates against the surface of the ball segment. Prior to opening, the seal automatically deflates and retracts into the valve body. Clear of the product flow path, seal wear is minimized and the seal integrity maintained.
Materials of Construction:
Coatings and special material grades, such as:
- HC 22, Alloy 59 or titanium
- Nitrogen purge flanges used for faster drying processes, or used to drain liquids
- Cooled or heated segments or valve housing
- Insulated valves
- Integrated sight glasses for inspection purposes
- Special actuator
- Controls with integrated fail-safe technology
- Actuator assemblies at different levels
