Valve seat extends hot working

26-Nov-2007

The new Brewseal high temperature seat from Tyco Flow Control will extend the operational life of its Keystone Optiseal range of butterfly valves in many applications, especially in the handling of hot wort in the brewing industry.

The one-piece wafer-thin disc stem of the Keystone Optiseal combines high strength with positive disc control, while offering minimal obstruction to flow.

The disc stem can be supplied with a polished finish, making it ideal for hygienic processes and operations.

The new seat is rated for 150°C constant service and offers excellent abrasion resistance for brewing and other hygienic applications and semi-aggressive environments.

The primary seat formed by the seat/shaft/hub assembly exceeds the pressure rating of the valve to ensure that the body is totally isolated from the flowing medium.

The valve body is finished in silver Ameron PSX700, a high-gloss engineered siloxane to suit the rigorous requirements of the hygienic market.
