Our strongest most resilient Iris Valve with pneumatic cylinder actuation

Overview

The Series E Iris Diaphragm Valves are the strongest and most resilient of the Mucon powered Iris valve range. It has an extremely robust construction and reliable drive elements making it suitable for the most arduous duties. The drive is provided by a powerful pneumatic piston and pulley system.

Construction

Body parts are manufactured from aluminium, with a Gunmetal Control Clamp Ring
316L stainless steel fasteners are fitted as standard on the Iris valve

Optional materials of construction

Stainless steel contact parts - Top and Bottom Clamp Rings only

Application

Used on the outlets of Silos handling heavy bulk solids. E.g. Sand, Cement, Lime Powder etc.
Linked to weigh scale set points for 'bagging off'
For controlling (not shut off) air flow ventilation ducting
Big Bag discharge where automatic actuation is required
Used for in In-Line applications with no leakage to atmosphere
