W.E. ANDERSON, a division of Dwyer Instruments, has released the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves with three-way stainless steel flanges.
Dwyer Instruments says the Series 3BV2 automated ball valve incorporates a full port design for maximum flow rates with minimal pressure drop. The flange comes in a variety of connection sizes to suit many applications.
According to Dwyer Instruments, the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves are designed for mixing applications in the food and chemical processing industries.
Dwyer Instruments says the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves feature a blow-out proof stem and reinforced RTFE seats and seals for added safety, longer life and leak free operation. The four seat design allows for high cycling automation.
According to Dwyer Instruments, the Series 3BV2 automated ball valves also come with a choice of either pneumatic or electric actuators.
Two pneumatic actuators are available. One of these, a double acting pneumatic actuator, uses an air supply to drive each of the actuator port. The other, a spring return pneumatic actuator, uses an air supply to drive the valve stem in one direction and an internally loaded spring to return to the valve to its original position.
The electrically actuated models have NEMA 4 enclosures with an optional explosive-proof, NEMA 7 enclosure. The electric actuators are available in either two-position or proportional control with a standard 115V AC supply. The modulating actuator accepts a four to 20mA input for variable valve positioning while the two position actuators uses the 115V AC input to position the valve opened or closed.
