2022 . Building on the success of the existing rail liquid equipment line , the new range represents a substantial increase in corrosion resistance , flow rates and overall effectiveness . The range includes a hydraulic bottom discharge valve ; LPG bellows operated Y-valves ; bottom discharge with hydraulic indicator , bottom discharge with mechanical indicator , hydraulic pump , bottom discharge and pump assembly . One of the biggest advantages is that the equipment is manufactured from stainless steel – this improves corrosion resistance and ensures longevity while minimising down time and M & R costs . The Y-valves have a lockable handle function for security and safety , are bellows operated and rated to an MAWP of 30 Bar ( as are the bottom discharge valves ) – which is comfortably higher than any other on the market , the company says . The Y-valves also offer significantly increased flow rates compared with other models due to the CFD optimised internal geometry . Other features include : direct drive linkage ; hydraulic indicators ( mechanical indicators optional ); 10kg lighter than conventional designs ; anti-cavitation plate ; increased flow rates ; stainless steel construction ; complete cargo compatibility ; shear studs as standard ; extra secure hydraulic sealing ; designed for LPG market for high pressures up to 30 Bar . Ashley Leach , technical sales engineer , said : “ This equipment has been through extensive cycle testing over the past 12 months and we ’ ve also added a hydraulic vent valve to the range for specific customer requirements on the liquid tanks . We like to think years ahead , so ( customers ) know it will still be viable in 10 or even 20 years ’ time . “ Even though current regulations give an allowance of MAWP 25 Bar , our equipment is rated to 30 Bar , giving customers the reassurance that their equipment will not become obsolete as a result of future rule changes .”

The new LPG rail product range represents a substantial increase in corrosion resistance and flow rates

Our PFA Lined Cleanlift , bottom discharge valve has a shear groove ( unlike some of our competitors ). The shear groove is not a dance music classification , but a significant feature of these types of valve . It protects the tank in the case of an impact or incident , and complies with EN 14433:2014 .

Ideally suited for tank containers where space is limited in the ISO frame , with the PFA lining offering maximum protection against highly corrosive cargos , it ’ s simple to maintain and uses many of the components to be found on our standard footvalves - making spare parts supply much , much easier .

We know accidents can , and will happen . Successful and profitable tank operation relies upon the technical integrity of each and every component . That ’ s why we ensure precision throughout , so that you can rely on the performance of our valves and your tanks .
