Industrial Valves
PBM's Two-Way Industrial Flush Tank ball valves are designed for general purpose, non-sanitary process applications. They are suitable for use on tanks, reactors, and other vessels.
Sanitary Valves:
PBM's Two-Way Sanitary Flush Tank ball valves are designed for pure process applications, where cracks and crevices within the valve need to be minimized. These valves are ideal for pharmaceutical, biotechnological and microelectronic applications. Valves are assembled lubricant-free with Virgin Polytetrafluoroethylene (VTFE) soft parts and either 316 or 316L wetted metal parts. When equipped with body cavity fillers and ID polish, Igenix valves are USDA approved for federally inspected meat and poultry plants. FDA approved materials allow inclusion within an FDA approved process. These valves are also used successfully in sanitary validation systems.
Features:
The Adjust-O-Seal® design incorporates an engineered space between the valve body and end-fittings. This unique feature allows the valve seats to be restored to a leak-tight condition without draining the tank and removing the valve from the processing line. This adjustment can be repeated several times to compensate for normal wear.
• Top sealing feature prevents leakage.
• Valve opens and closes with easy quarter-turn operation.
• Internal seat design produces a bubble-tight seal.
• Spring-loaded washers create a live-loaded stem assembly for positive sealing.
• Encapsulated body gaskets minimize cold flow and reduce recesses where media could accumulate and contaminate the process.
• Optional body cavity fillers minimize areas where media could become trapped and contaminate the process.
• Standard bottom-entry stem provides protection from inadvertent stem removal. Engagement between the slot and ball is specially designed for high torque applications.
• Stainless steel handles with vinyl end cover are designed for a sure grip. The handle position visually indicates whether the valve is open or closed.
• Stem assembly can accommodate PBM Direct Mount Actuation for improved alignment and increased cycling life.
• Stainless steel ball is precision machined and polished to reduce torque and flow resistance.
• Unique pad radius facilitates efficient drainage and reduces the pocket area above the ball.
Pad Design:
PBM’s standard flush tank pad incorporates a unique radius that facilitates flow to the valve and reduces dead space where media could stagnate. The pad is designed to weld flush with the inside tank surface for strategic positioning of the ball. PBM’s standard flush tank pad will fit most tank configurations, such as dished, flat, ellipsoidal, jacketed, conical or spherical. For special applications, PBM has custom pads such as the Cylindrical Radius Pad or ANSI Bolt-On Flat Pad. PBM also manufactures special adapter pads to accommodate customer-specified or existing valve products. With any unique application, you are encouraged to work directly with PBM for a custom solution. Also, pads may be shipped separately, at customer request, to accommodate welding.
