Valve Principles

Our design philosophy has been to produce a valve that overcomes the problems created by other valves. We also further recognise the need for planned maintenance, quick clean down and easy clean hygiene requirements to meet today's demanding processes changes.

Problem: Conventional Slide Valve Problems with Leaking & or Jamming

To cure a leak – Tighten seals which results in the valve jamming. To cure jamming – Loosen seals which results in the valve leaking

Solution: Fit a Process Link Membrane Slide Valve

Problem: Butterfly Valve Problems with Reduced Flow & Bridging

Often caused by disc in the open position partially blocking the product flowpath & offering support to the bridgeable material. To cure the operator often hammers valve / disc area or a larger valve is fitted than is necessary

Solution: Fit a Process Link Membrane Slide Valve

Problem: “IRIS” Valve Problems with Reduced Flow or Bridging or Seaping

Caused by the basic design requiring product to force open the twisted sleeve which has been relaxed, resulting in the product likely to bridge or if light in weight producing irregular flow or no flow at all. When closed they can be prone to seepage with dense products or fine aerated ones to cure the operator often hammers valve area or a larger valve is fitted than is necessary. Equally to automate can be a complex and expensive process
