Hygienic control valve with process controller and positioner
The system itself builds upon two hygienic control valves of Type 2380. These compact, lightweight and CIP/SIP-capable valves are suitable for virtually any pressure, low-flow and filling control application in hygienic environments.
Numerous combination options
The standard control valve is a new addition to the unique ELEMENT system; in combination with four different Type 869x positioner and process controllers of the ELEMENT series, as well as different connections (sleeve, clamp and welded connection) and a large choice of bodies and block solutions, it enables creation of a modular system with numerous options.
ELEMENT design
Designed exclusively around hygienic requirements, the ELEMENT design has become an industry standard. Rounded stainless steel surfaces, internal air routing, wash-down resistance and a hermetically sealed process boundary (high IP 65/67 protection) keep it all safe.
ELEMENT positioner/controller
Benefitting from ELEMENT design, these control heads are not only durable in chemical wash-down environments but also equipped with preventative maintenance measures to monitor cumulative travel and valve stroke count. They can operate autonomously with an integrated process controller or be easily added into a modern PLC fieldbus network.
Diaphragm actuator
High controllability allows fully reproducible, automated processes. The compact diaphragm actuator in use yields lowest hysteresis, a unique benefit especially for smaller valve sizes in terms of stable reliability levels.
PTFE bellow
Superior reliability plus process safety: Wetted parts and process connections match hygienic needs. Protecting precious media from the environment, the PTFE eliminates contamination risks. Being robust against corroding supplies/exhausts like the naturally acidic CO2, it is suitable for virtually any media, SIP-capable – and comes with all necessary approvals (FDA, USP class VI).
Stainless steel body
Made from 316L steel in various sizes with port connections according to ASME-BPE, ISO and DIN. Self-drainability in vertical position and smooth curvatures allow hygienically safe operation and cleaning.
