Automatic Slide Valves

Auto Single Cylinder (AS)

  • An automatic Membrane Slide Valve designed to be in the fully open or closed position and operated remotely.
  • For space constraints the AD double cylinder version is offered.
  • As an automatic isolating valve for maintenance.
  • Or for discharging product from one process to the next.

Typical Applications

  • The bottom of a container or hopper, where automatic discharge operation is required.
  • On the outlet or inlet of feeders to isolate from process up and down stream, when maintaining or cleaning down.
  • On the outlet of mixers or similar equipment for automatic discharge of mixer on completion of mixing and or isolation when mixing is in operation as well as many other similar processes.

Auto Double Cylinder (AD)

  • An automatic Membrane Slide Valve designed to be in the fully open or closed position and operated remotely.
  • For space constraints the double cylinder is offered as it is much shorter in length compared with the AS version.
  • As an automatic isolating valve for allowing maintenance.
  • Or for discharging product from one process to the next.

Typical Applications

  • The bottom of a container or hopper, where automatic discharge operation is required.
  • On the outlet or inlet of feeders to isolate from process up and down stream, when maintaining or cleaning down.
  • On the outlet of mixers or similar equipment for automatic discharge of mixer on completion of mixing and or isolation when mixing is in operation, as well as many other similar processes.

Auto Multi Position (MP)

  • This version of the multiple position Membrane Slide Valve series is a more sophisticated valve where an automatic infinitely variable position from open to closed is required.
  • It is a single cylinder version but with a positioning cylinder which requires an analogue pneumatic signal of 3 to 15 psi depending on the position needed (4 to 20mA converter option).
  • It is therefore ideal where precise product flow is required.

Typical Applications

  • Keg and Bag filling on automatic filling where accuracy is required or controlling the flow rate into process downstream where bulk then fine feed is required in the process.
  • Where there is more than one product being handled and different apertures are required for different products.

Multi Single (MS)

  • This version of the multi position valve is basically a single cylinder valve with stops that are automatically operated to give an intermediate position or positions.
  • The stop position is manually adjusted from fully open to fully closed to give a preset reliable repeatable part open position.
  • A typical sequence is open the valve fully, once the intermediate position is required the valve is closed, then the stop is activated and the valve is re-opened to the stop giving an intermediate position. The valve is then closed, the stop de-activated and the sequence is then ready to start again.
  • Used often as an automatic control valve with ‘bulk’ and ‘trickle’ feed positions.

Typical Applications

  • Keg / Bag filling. Used on automatic filling where accuracy required.
  • Remote control of product flow on a weighing system or where products tend to flush or fluidise.
  • Controlling flow rate into process downstream where bulk then fine is required.
  • Where more than one product is being handled and different valve apertures are required for different products.
