Complex Process Tasks Realised with Multi-port Valve Blocks from SISTO Armaturen S.A. provides a detailed insight into the innovative use of multi-port valve blocks to solve demanding process tasks.

Principles of multi-port valve block technology:

The Basics section covers the principles and functionality of multi-port valve blocks. It explains how these valve blocks are constructed, the materials used and the advantages they offer over conventional valve systems.

The influence of modern technologies such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) and finite element method (FEM) simulation on the development and optimisation of multi-port valve blocks is highlighted. Additive manufacturing enables the production of complex geometries that would not be feasible using conventional methods, while FEM simulation helps to provide accurate flow analysis and optimal design before installation.

Examples from the field:

Panel replacement:

Illustration of the steps and solutions that led to a reduction in downtime and an increase in process reliability for the end customer.

Ring block:

Another example is the use of ring blocks, which offer a particularly compact and efficient solution for distribution tasks thanks to their ring-shaped layout. These blocks allow flexible control and distribution of media flows in the production process.

The lecture is aimed at engineers, designers and decision-makers interested in advanced valve solutions and their application in the process industry. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical examples, the presentation will provide valuable insight into the capabilities and benefits of multi-port multi-port valve block.
