1400mm Louvre Door

The client needed a 1400mm custom designed louvre door valve to regulate the air in a cement kiln. The valve is fitted with a 4-20mA Auma actuator, to allow fine control of the air to control the process temperature accurately. Mechanically the valve is very robust to withstand the harsh duty, and as it will be installed in an outdoor environment, has been finished to operate reliably in this environment for many years.

13 bar ceramic rotary valves

The TWA ceramic rotary valves are the leading choice for abrasion resistant applications. For Drax Power, minimising maintenance and dowtime on their biomass fuel handling plant is essential as the cost in lost production runs into thousands per minute. We have developed a version of our ceramic rotary valve that has a body with a pressure shock resistance of 13 bar. Each is made from high strength carbon steel, pressure tested to ensure integrity then assembled using our…

Screw conveyor mechanical seals

MID’s leak free, zero maintenance mechanical shaft seals are now available for a range of screw conveyors. Our engineers will arrange a visit, carefully measure your existing screw conveyor tail assembly, and advise the best seal for the application. Fitting is usually straight forward, and we can train you how to fit them yourself.

Custom reject diverter

GR diverter valve datasheet A global gypsum manufacturer needed a custom made reject diverter for their scrap inlet line. The feed conveyor is fitted with a magnetic detector. The existing system stopped the conveyor and relied on someone to remove the tramp material from the conveyor with a child’s toy rake! We were asked to carefully survey the existing installation to provide a unit that could reroute the contaminated material without interrupting the process. Afer…
