Burkert’s new Robolux valves reduce by at least half the number of valves, diaphragms, pipefittings and welds required in hygienic processing solutions such as filtration and water purification. One Robolux replaces two traditional shut-off diaphragm valves; eliminating dead legs and tee-pieces and reducing welds. The multi-port Robolux valves improve process design, particularly in downstream processes, and in other application situations in which valuable products are handled. The compact design of the valves means a minimal hold-up volume and increased product yields, with less chemical wastage. Robolux valves are supplied with either manual or pneumatic actuators in sizes from 1/4in to 2in (DN4 -50). They are manufactured with a choice of body types: 316-L stainless steel, ultra-pure polypropylene, polypropylene USP V1 and PVDF (polyvinyl-difluoride). The valves also offer diaphragm materials to suit all types of media, including EPDM, FKM, PFA/ EPDM, PTFE, Silicone and PFR91. Suitable for applications including CIP/SIP processes, UF/MF filtration and filling and formulation Robolux valves hold all major certifications: FDA, CE, USP V, USP VI, ATEX, 3.1 and are applicable worldwide.
