Revolutionary super light weight butterfly valve

Tomoe, a world-leading manufacturer of butterfly valves and actuators, has announced the new 773Z, a revolutionary super light weight butterfly valve allowing higher flow rates

Tomoe, a world-leading manufacturer of butterfly valves and actuators, has announced the new 773Z, a revolutionary super light weight butterfly valve.

Tomoe has developed this lightweight butterfly valve for all applications in food processing, swimming pools, chemical processing, power generation, marine, automotive, sugar refining, brewing, water treatment, chemicals and HVAC where the larger flow rate achieved through improved seat and unique rib disc design is optimising process performance.

Developed in response to industry demands for lighter weight valves, the 773Z super light weight butterfly valve is 40% lighter than conventional iron body valves.

The super light weight construction is possible due to the aluminium diecast body and the high performance engineered thermo-plastic top plate.

Improved anti-condensation capability is also achieved by utilising a high performance engineered plastic column.

This also provides low water absorption, high corrosion resistance, heat resistance, non-flammability as well as shock resistance approximately four times greater than that of hard PVC material.

Tomoe has incorporated a new ribbed disc design into the 773Z, which significantly improves flow rates.

The design of the new stainless steel disc is based on a disc pattern incorporating a series of ribs on opposite and opposing faces of the disk.

This enables a thinner disc section to be used leading to a reduction in the effects of cavitation by breaking up the flow into thinner 'jet streams' thus dissipating the energy over a greater number of 'jet streams'.

The 773Z disc incorporates all the other features and benefits of the flat faced disc design as well as its additional unique benefits.

The flat faced designs will still be available for applications that require the original polished discs.

Tomoe supplies an extensive range of performance valves and actuators that combine the latest in both valve design and materials technology to meet varied and demands and applications.

Also available from Tomoe is the oil free version model 763Z with all the existing benefits of the 773Z, and is ideally suited for applications such as motor vehicle paint plants, and high purity water duties.

All valves are available ex-stock and with Tomoe's comprehensive sales and distribution channels throughout Europe, customers have immediate access to the most advanced range of butterfly valves supported by exemplary levels of customer service.
