Festo has launched its new VZXA family of pneumatically actuated angle seat valves , featuring a unique modular design that offers benefits in installation , maintenance , operation and inventory management . The VZXA ’ s design allows the stem , seat and seal to remain |
inside the valve body when the actuator is removed , maintaining system pressure and containing hazardous materials . This feature enhances safety , reduces cleaning time and lowers contamination risks . Reinstallation of the actuator is simplified , reducing potential damage to the valve seat . The modular design is particularly suitable for valve manifold applications requiring quick assembly and compact size . The standardised design ensures compatibility between all VZXA actuators and valve bodies , simplifying ordering and inventory management . Individual components are readily available for repair , further enhancing the valve ’ s maintainability and longevity . |
APV , a brand of SPX FLOW , has launched the DualSafe™ Aseptic Mixproof Valve for demanding aseptic processing environments . The valve is designed to maintain aseptic conditions , enhance cleanability and ensure product quality and safety while prioritising sustainability . The DualSafe valve utilises proven diaphragm technology |
with two independent shafts to separate incompatible media . A sterile barrier with aseptic inlet and outlet valves provides additional protection against contamination . This design is crucial for highquality yields in products such as probiotics , ambient foods and those requiring long shelf life , as well as in ultra-high temperature ( UHT ) processing . The valve ’ s design helps reduce thermal transfer to preserve temperature-sensitive products , with an optional temperature sensor for steam chamber monitoring . This comprehensive approach aims to meet the stringent requirements of aseptic processing across various industries . |
Bray has introduced its new “ Cx Line ” of valves , developed in collaboration with leading European chemical companies . |
The product line focuses on meeting industry standards , technical delivery conditions and addressing key trends such |
as digitalisation , sustainability and standardisation . The Cx Line complies with NE 167 and other quality and delivery requirements of the European chemical industry . These valves are designed for process applications demanding high reliability , safety and tightness . Each valve features a digital identification tag conforming to IEC 61406 , enabling clear valve identification . Bray ’ s DIGI-ID solution provides |
instant access to relevant product information , aiming to streamline processes and improve efficiency . The Cx Line is positioned to support the chemical industry ’ s transformation towards climate neutrality and enhanced competitiveness . Bray sees this product line as an opportunity to strengthen its market position while offering innovative solutions to meet the industry ’ s evolving needs . |
