Half “V” shaped valve
The invention
  • The problem to be solved:
    High quality can be produced and in the same time production cost reduced, significantly comparing to the traditional technology.
  • Definition:
    This product is an intermediate solution between the gate valve and the valve. This construction incorporating the advantages of the above mentioned armatures.
  • Presentation:
    There is a sealing rib in the valve housing surrounding the diameter of the flow channel having an angle to the spindle. The gate has the same shaped surface, coated by rubber which meets to the sealing rib of the housing. The gate simply pressed on to the sealing rib by the spindle, which is supported by a sliding rib fitted on to the spindle by a nut. The definite and the straight position of the sliding rib is insured by the pilot groove. The characteristic wedge like closing is fully insured. The fitting of the rubber coated closing element to the spindle is made through the flow channel.

A regular valve / The new solution

  • Application: pipelines
  • Advantages:
    · only the spindle bore need to be sealed
    · 30% less weight end less machining costs
    · maintenance free solution
    · increased rigidity of the housing
    · no screws to be installed at all
    · quick and easy assembling
  • Stage of development: production has already been started
    This product has been exhibited on two international fairs as IENA99
    Nürnberg - silver medal, EUREKA’99 Brussels - gold medal.
