Sanitary MD with Quick-Clean RotorRail™
Rotary Valve for Metering, Feeding and Airlock ApplicationsThe MD Series valves, with ACS RotorRail quick-clean design, provide tool-less, single-step access to rotor and internal surfaces.
Features & Benefits:
- Stainless steel valve housing, cast in North America, ensures superior housing solidification and metallurgy; eliminates pits and dimples where contaminants could accumulate.
- Product contact surfaces of the housing, and all rotor surfaces, are a No. 4 finish.
- Tool-less, single-step access to rotor and internal surfaces; simplifying cleaning, validation, and inspection.
- RotorRail™ feature maintains rotor and endplate alignment during dis-assembly; ensures fast and accurate rotor and endplate re-alignment during re-assembly.
- Available in 7 heights, from 7 3/8" to 23"; and 7 flange inside diameters from 4" to 15".
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- Outboard bearing design protects bearings in high-temperature and high-PSIG applications; removes bearings from direct path of damaging contaminants.
- Easily manages pressure differentials up to 15 PSIG.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 500°F.
- 8-vane rotor with beveled tips and sides.
- Direct-drive motor package.
Options:
- 304, 304L, 316, 316L, or 2205 cast stainless steel valve housing.
