A leading manufacturer of detergents has purchased and installed four of Clyde Materials Handling’s Dome Valves, worth over GBP 100,000, in its Russian production facility. The valves operate as part of a lock hopper batch dosing system which feeds blended product directly into the process. To ensure smooth flow through the system, a low friction lining material was used to coat the inside of the valve and hopper section. Another unique feature incorporated into each of the five units was an inspection porthole to allow quick and easy inspection of the product flow without affecting the process itself. Explains Neil Gardiner, general manager for Clyde Materials Handling Support Services: “The material passing through the valves could not be considered as free-flowing, so we created a low friction lining to ensure smooth flow and eliminate any build up within the process.”
