In action, the Spheri® Valve is a pressure tight compressed air operated valve, capable of returning over one million maintenance-free cycles, even in abrasive, hazardous or toxic applications. The fast-closing cut-off valve incorporates a unique inflatable sealing mechanism. This provides the pressure tight seal, against the dome surface when in the closed position – ensuring reliable, instant control and efficient performance.
Spheri® Valve features include:
Typical materials handled:
Totally unrestricted full bore material flow is assured through the unique design of the ‘dome’ assembly. A mere quarter turn is sufficient to move from the fully closed to the fully open position. This action positions the dome completely clear of the material flow path.
From Fine Abrasive Powders to cohesive Materials user options extend to the choice of ‘Dome’, both in terms of raw material and any surface coatings required.
From Foodstuffs to High Temperature Ash a range of inflatable seals are available, depending upon the application. The choice includes a white food grade seal as well as those specially formulated for high temperatures or other hostile applications. Moving and Static Column Cut Off all Spheri® Valves are capable of handling fine grain materials and hard abrasive products.
Vane Actuator Models can cut through static columns of material up to 2mm particle size. They can also cut through moving columns of powders, pastes and granular products similar to coal above 2mm. Cylinder Actuator models have the added capability of being able to cut through static columns of material above 2mm.
