Overview
The strongest and most resilient of the Mucon® powered iris valve range is the Series E Iris Diaphragm Valve. It has extremely robust construction and reliable drive elements making it suitable for the hardest of tasks. The drive is provided by a powerful pneumatic piston and pulley system.
Construction
- Body parts are made from aluminum
- A gunmetal control clamp ring
- 316L stainless steel fasteners are fitted as standard
Application
- For use on the outlets of silos that handle heavy bulk solids. e.g. sand, cement, lime powder etc.
- Linked to weigh scale set points for ‘bagging off’
- For use in controlling (not shut off) air flow ventilation ducting
- Use for big bag discharge where automatic actuation is needed
- Used for in-line applications with no leakage to the atmosphere
Options
- 316 stainless steel contact parts can be supplied
- Pre-piped and directly mounted pneumatic control
- Open and closed control solenoid valve (customer to specify voltage required)
- Full trickle-feed facility, including trickle-feed switch and solenoid valves to give
- Open, closed and adjustable trickle-feed position
- Special cylinder and proximity sensors where the valve is required for ATEX zone 22D
- In case of air or electrical failure automatic closure system can be offered
- Special packages are available to suit hazardous environments
- A variety of surface coatings to suit corrosive locations

- Ability to handle and control the flow of very dense materials
- Non jamming
- There is no leakage into the atmosphere
- Full bore opening -therefore, no product flow restriction
- Suitable for frequent operation
- Quick closing – and ideal for weighing applications
Features
- Double diaphragm iris valve is perfect for in-line applications with no leakage in to the atmosphere
- The robust construction makes the Series E Iris Valve suitable for handling products in excess of 1600 kg/m³ In-situ diaphragm adjustment
- The internal bearings and high quality materials enable frequent operation
- Series E Iris Valves have a wide diaphragm selection to suit many specific applications
