W.E. ANDERSON, a division of Dwyer Instruments, has released the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves, which feature pneumatic actuators.
Dwyer Instruments says the Series 3BV2 automated ball valve incorporates a full port design for maximum flow rates with minimal pressure drop. It has a three-way stainless steel flange, which comes in a variety of connection sizes to suit many applications.
According to Dwyer Instruments, the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves can be fitted with one of two types of pneumatic actuator.
One of these, a double acting pneumatic actuator, uses an air supply to drive each of the actuator port. The other, a spring return pneumatic actuator, uses an air supply to drive the valve stem in one direction and an internally loaded spring to return to the valve to its original position.
According to Dwyer Instruments, the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves are designed for mixing applications in the food and chemical processing industries.
Dwyer Instruments says the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves feature a blow-out proof stem and reinforced RTFE seats and seals for added safety, longer life and leak free operation. The four seat design allows for high cycling automation.
