GEA launched its NEW large inlet rotary valve for food and dairy products. The larger inlet has been designed to provide a cost effective solution for cyclone and dryer applications where the valve inlet performance is most critical.
The valve is available in sizes ranging from 200mm to 300mm diameter for the CV500 model and from 300mm to 350mm for the CV750 model. The all-new valve features a 10-vane rotor design and is available with options for Ezy-Slide demounting for efficient cleaning and maintenance as well as the option to fit the latest Generation 3 RDS system.
The use of plastic rotors in GEA Nu-Con demountable rotary valves has proved to be a sound solution for eliminating rotary valve scraping, which is a possibility with full stainless steel construction. However, plastic rotors are not suitable for all duties. For those applications that require abrasive or high temperatures (and with close tolerances), GEA Nu-Con has developed a special monitoring device to manage the potential risk of rotor scraping.
Generation 3 RDS has been specifically designed also to meet the requirements of CIP (Clean In Place) with a setting allowance for dry out of the equipment, the re-designed RDS unit is more robust and has an ATEX compliance option.
