The gospel of powder industry - expansion butterfly valve

Development background

The transportation of powder and particulates is a lasting challenge in the application of traditional industrial butterfly valves.

1. Long-lasting wear caused by powder flow to the sealed valve seat.

2. The powder trapped between the valve seat and plate intensified the abrasion of the valve and the seat in the moment.

3. Excessive squeeze deformation under high-frequency operating conditions between the valve seat and plate further reduces the reliability of the valve.

4. The working life of the valve seat is greatly reduced

5. Energy waste due to excessive operating torque

Based on the specificity of the powder conveying application, Flowx finally successfully developed a targeted model-expansion seal butterfly valve after directional testing and R & D. In addition to excellent technical performance, the precise design concept minimizes the user's Maintenance cost and use cost.

Application

With its unique product design, in addition to powder material delivery, the expansion seal butterfly valve can also more perfectly meet the working conditions of traditional industrial butterfly valves.

Technical characteristics

Expansion seal system

The unique design of the valve seat makes the valve body and valve seat have a continuous, deformable cavity. When the valve plate is closed, the valve seat slowly expands and holds the valve plate under the pressure of the external air source to achieve the sealing effect. When need to open, the pressure in the cavity will quickly evacuate the valve seat to contract to release the valve plate, and then open the valve plate. Therefore, during the opening and closing process, the contact time and contact area of the valve seat and the valve plate are very small. The operating torque of the valve is reduced by 85% compared with the traditional butterfly valve, the wear rate between

the valve plate and the seat is reduced by about 98%, and at the same time,

the sealing reliability of the valve has been greatly improved.

Integrated pneumatic valve block

The integrated air control valve block designed for the expansion seal butterfly valve ensures the stability and accuracy of the valve switch under high frequency operation conditions. The integrated solution reduces the complexity of internal pipelines and the overall structure size, which simplifies on-site installation and maintenance.
