ARI-ARMATUREN
The New High Performance Valve
ARI-Armaturen is delighted to present
a double-offset, metallic sealing high
performance valve – ZEDOX®. Durable
and energy-efficient with perfect handling,
it represents the economic alternative
with reliable tightness for demanding
applications. Together with the successfully
established triple-offset process valve:
ZETRIX® and the standard butterfly valves:
ZESA®, GESA® and ZIVA®, ARI-Armaturen
is able to provide a more comprehensive
butterfly valve portfolio.
In contrast to centric butterfly valves, the
double-offset sealing principle of the new
ZEDOX® reduces the angle of the disc
when entering into contact with the seat
sealing ring, relieving the metallic sealing
when opening. With a streamlined bearing
and shape of the valve disc, ZEDOX® offers
higher energy efficiency and longer service
life due to reduced contact pressure and
minimised friction, therefore allowing
protection of the seat sealing ring against
negative medium flow influences.
Offering high functional safety even at
challenging requirements, ZEDOX® is
reliably tight at temperatures from -40°C
up to +260°C (max. +400°C with specially
designed models), for pressure classes PN
10 - PN 40 plus ANSI Class 150.
ZEDOX® accomplishes leakage rate A acc.
to EN12266, API 598 (bi-directional) and
soft sealing or alternative metallic-sealing
with leakage rate B (optional rate A); with
the blowout proof shaft providing extra
safety. The ZEDOX® pressure/temperature
rating follows company standard and EN
it represents the economic
alternative with reliable
tightness for demanding
applications.
1092. The high performance valve can
be easily automated, when replacing the
gearbox, through pneumatic, electrical or
hydraulic actuators (actuation interface acc.
ISO 5211).
Available in butt-weld ends (DN 200 - DN
1600), double flanged (DN 200 - DN 1200)
or wafer (DN 80 - DN 800), with PN 10 - PN
40 as well as Class 150. The ZEDOX® can
be made in either cast carbon steel or cast
stainless steel however, different versions
and materials are available on request. This
makes the ZEDOX® extremely versatile
and suitable for use in various applications
involving fluids, steam, gases and vapours.
This addition of the new ZEDOX® fills
the gap within ARI-Armaturen’s range of
existing soft sealing butterfly valves and the
triple-offset process valve, completing our
portfolio and enabling customers to benefit
from our ‘One Stop Shop’ approach:
ZETRIX® - the process valve: available in
butt-weld ends, double flanged and fully
lug-type versions up to Class 600, PN 63
and PN 100 and from DN 80 - DN 600.
ZEDOX® - the high performance butterfly
valve: available in butt-weld ends, double
flanged and wafer-type versions up to PN
40 and DN 80 - DN 800 (DN 1600).
ZESA®, GESA®, ZIVA® - the eco-centric
butterfly valves: available in lug and wafer-
type versions up to PN 16 and DN 25 - DN
500.
