Diverter valves for pharmaceuticals and chemicals
Leading valve manufacturer, Rota Val, has designed and produced a unique new range of Diverter Valves for the pharmaceutical and chemical processing industries
Rotary valves meet high pharmaceutical standards
The 'Hypergienic' range provides a rotary valve that can perform successfully inside an isolator (glove) box whilst offering full clean-in-place facilities, with minimal operator effort required
The valves are manufactured in 316 stainless steel and include FDA approved seals, double-acting pneumatic torque actuators, solenoid valves, position switches, pressure gauges and pressure switches to warn of inflatable seal failure.
All valves and associated ancillaries are constructed to comply with the ATEX Zone 22 dust explosion prevention regulations, have a bead blast finish and smooth contact surfaces to minimise product flow disturbance.
Designed to operate within a lean phase conveying system working at 0.8 barg, the valves are used in diverging mode to manage the flow of powders from storage to process plant under PLC control.
Solenoid valves, pressure gauges, connections and related fittings are all installed and prewired on the PS Valve housings by Rota Val to provide fast, simple installation and commissioning.
The PS range of diverter valves was designed to address the need for high quality valves which could easily be stripped down and cleaned in place with minimal downtime and operator effort.
Suitable for vacuum, lean and dense phase conveying, versions are available in a choice of surface finishes.
Couplings may be pipe, flanged, plain pipe or "quick-clamp" FDA approved.
Special versions can be supplied for inert or reactive gas conveying applications where the outer casing may be sealed and pressurised to eliminate any possibility of gas or dust emissions.
Standard PS Valves with internal pipe diameters from 20mm to 200mm are available, but Rota Val will always consider meeting the needs of customers with unusual or new application requirements.
