ACS Valves Rotary Valves: Metering with Airlock MD Series

Description
Features & Benefits: Available in 7 heights, from 7 3/8"H to 23 1/2"H; and 7 flange diameters from 4" to 15". Valve housing cast in North America; ensures superior strength and solidification of housing's metallurgy. 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 20 PSIG. Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 750°F. Cast iron housing. 8-vane rotor with beveled tips and sides. Options: 304 or 316 cast stainless steel valve housing. No. 4 finish on internal product contact surfaces of housing, and all rotor surfaces. Interior coatings: hard chrome, tungsten, and Teflon®. Rotor types: closed-end, metering, shallow-pocket, adjustable-tip, and Teflon®-coated. Adjustable rotor tip types: EPDM rubber, polyurethane, hardened steel, stainless steel, and bronze. Shaft seal types: ACST-4™ glandless Teflon® shaft seal, and packing gland. Valve housing vent ports. Shaft seal and rotor pocket air purge. 6-vane or 10-vane rotor. Custom drive packages. Application-specific accessories: blow-through adapter, shear plate deflector, surge hopper, motion speed switch assembly.
