New FFU Universal Gate Valve from Coperion
Coperion has developed a new discharge gate valve for controlled bulk material flow from storage bins and hoppers to downstream process steps . This valve is suited for a variety of applications in the chemical and plastics industries with its impressively compact yet very robust construction . One particular feature of this new discharge valve is that it closes securely and reliably while material is flowing , but usually also when the product column is stationary , making this a perfectly suited
gate valve for demanding applications . This new valve that is well thought out in design and construction secures operators a singularly reliable technology solution and makes installation and maintenance simple .
Coperion manufactures this discharge valve using a precision casting process , enabling its compact and lightweight design . Its intelligent geometry , select guide elements and the form of the seal ensure that the FFU universal gate valve
can be used for a wide variety of applications with the most diverse demands — even in combustible areas ( ATEX ). This new geometry is what allows the gate valve to be used in the usual way even when the bulk material is stationary and best of all , its high-quality , robust construction ensures dependable operation over time . Various models with manual or pneumatic drive are available in sizes DN 150 to 400
( 6 to 16 inches ) and can be implemented in a variety of customer-specific options .
