Supplementary Equipment

Valve Actuators (Adjusting Range 90°)

Valve actuators are used for ball valve automation. They are available in an electric or pneumatic/hydraulic
version.

Position Control Systems

In automatic operation the drives of the ball valves are controlled by position control systems. Such position
control systems are realized by process-controlled operations for in-stance.

Gearbox with Hand Wheel

Manually operated gears are used for large actuating torques. They are available in mechanical version.

Position Limit Switch

Position limit switches are used to indicate the valve position in controlled areas.

Underfloor Fittings

Underfloor fittings are necessary for installing ball valves in the ground.

Metal Seals

Seals with Soft Inserts

2 Metal

Seals

Metal seals are used when the limits of use of seals with soft inserts are exceeded (see pressure-
temperature diagram above), or for abrasive or aggressive substances. Please consult ARGUS in case of
need.

Safety Devices

Safety devices are used to lock the ball valves to prevent unauthorized use.

Forced Shut-off Circuits

Forced shut-off circuits are used in processes and can be coded with keywords.

Safety Control Circuits

Safety control circuits, e.g. dead man’s button, are used to cause the valve to automatically reach the safety
position in processes.

Heating Jackets

Heating jackets are used to heat ball valves.

Secondary Sealing Systems

Secondary sealing systems are emergency sealings which restore the sealing effect of damaged seals by
injecting a plastic sealing compound.
