Equilibar has introduced an expansion of products in their FDO series of sanitary fluid control valves as well as shortened lead times for delivery of most existing FDO models. The new sanitary valves for low flow will open up opportunities and expand options for system designers.
Superior precision is now possible for more pharmaceutical, personal care, food & other sanitary applications. The new products will provide unmatched precision for biopharmaceutical and other aseptic processes that have extremely low flow rate ranges.
In addition, Equilibar’s FDO4 valve, which comes with ½ inch ports, is now available in a round format, which offers higher precision over a wider range of flow rates than the original square design and conforms with the format of other FDO valves. This new design also enables gravity drainability for sanitary applications. The original compact square design is still available for customers who prefer it.
Equilibar is also pleased to announce shortened lead times for many of their standard FDO models. Customers can expect lead times of 5-10 days for orders in quantities of 4 or fewer for the popular FDO4 as well as FDO6, FDO8, FDO12, and FDO16 valves.
All Equilibar® FDO valves feature a revolutionary multi-orifice diaphragm-operated technology capable of controlling pressure with unmatched precision over a wide range of flow rates. They are pilot-controlled, allowing for easy automation, and are particularly well suited for flow chemistry and other challenging sanitary applications. A thin, supple membrane is the only moving part, responding instantly to changes in the system flow rate to accurately maintain the pressure at the desired set point.
