Ball valve KAT

The CeraValve type KAT is a ball valve with ceramic lining for open / close function and control tasks to be used in ex-cessively abrasive media. It is to be preferably used if special requirements are placed on the shaft sealing, on the housing materials (PVDF, titanium) or if there are very high or very low operating temperatures and high pressures. The valve is ba-sed on the floating ball principle. The outlet seat ring is fixed. The inlet seat ring is spring loaded. As a result, the ball has no clearance and always seals. The ¼-turn movement of the ball between 0 and 90 ° releases an accurately defined ope -ning cross-section. The geometric shape of the ball defines the function and control characteristics. This ball valve has a “three part body” design. Consequently, it can be adapted to existing pipelines and the flow and control characteristics can be optimised. These valves are available with manual lever or gear box, as well as with pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators. The actuator is mounted by means of a yoke and adapter arrangement. All customary actuators can be used as part-turn valve actuators. Special connections are possible.
