Abrasive Materials Slurries, bulk powders, ash, granules, lumps or dust-laden gasses cause seat erosion and ineffective closure. The inflatable seal provides continuous wear compensation. Pressure Differentials Pressure differential also causes accelerated seat wear in conventional hard seat valves. The inflatable seal provides continuous wear compensation. The Inflatek Valve® is available in three pressure group designs to 624 psi. High Temperatures Thermal expansion prevents consistent valve seat action in conventional valve designs. The inflatable seal provies compensation throughout the temperature range to 660°F. Temperatures above this range may be tolerated using special valve configurations. Close & Seal The displacement action of the rotating sphere within the valve housing allows rotation of a solid column of material so that a choke-filled Inflatek Valve® will close and seal through packed material. Abrasion/Temperature/Pressure Conventional hard inflateable seat valve cannot achieve operating reliability with any combinations of severe application conditions for abrasion, temperature and pressure. The Inflatek Valve® does. It has achieved successful performance in more than 7,000 installations in a diverse array of applications. Reliability A heavy-duty valve designed to perform where other valves cannot. Rated for 1 million cycles between inspections in approved applications.
