Orbinox UK’s workshop technicians have been working on a batch of ORBINOX 750mm² ‘BC’ square ported knife gate valves.
The body & gate has been fabricated from AISI 316 material, with a Viton resilient seat, and custom flange design, following the project requirements. The valve has been automated with the double-acting pneumatic cylinder, fitted with the proprietary PneuLINK™ linear to rotary integrated control platform c/w an intrinsically safe Valve Control Monitor, incorporating the 2-off NAMUR inductive sensors, and the integral 5/2 mono-stable solenoid valve.
The valves have been assessed and certified by a third party notified body for use in ATEX category 1 (internal) and category 2 & 3 (external) applications, for both dust and gas hazards.
Orbinox Knife Gate Valve technology was selected for use in a solvent extraction process.
