Dead space-free & space-saving solution for piping systems & tank drainage
COMPACT BALL VALVE TYPE KO

The compact ball valve type KO is a dead space-free 90° swivel valve with a short overall length, making it ideal for use in piping systems or as a tank drain ball valve.

Its spring-loaded, dead space-free sealing system effectively prevents product buildup between the ball and housing, ensuring a secure and durable seal. The direct flange connection allows for easy installation and maintenance, while its robust construction ensures maximum durability and operational safety.

The compact ball valve type KO is available in a range of high-quality materials, providing optimal resistance to various demanding media.

Advantages

ATEC Compact Ball Valve

image

Cavity free

The usual cavity between ball and housing in non- cavity free ball valves give cause for disturbance because residual products can crystallize, polymerize and so affect the function.

› Clean, non- false product

› No sediments of expensive products in the ball valve housing

image

Spring loaded ball sealing system

Approximately same torque at different temperatures This request can only be achieved by ball valves with a spring-loaded sealing system. Different heat expansion of metallic and synthetic material cause high torques by non spring-loaded sealing systems so that the valve can block and does not open or close anymore. Longer lifetime through spring- loaded sealing system. Spring-loaded cavity free ball valves achieve this improvement in a variety of processes. At abrasion, the spring-loaded sealing system guarantees a controlled compression of the ball sealing so that longer sealing life and leak-tightness can be realized

› Longer Lifetime

› Same torque at different temperatures

image

Suitable for High Pressure operations

The compact, stable construction with additional high pressure sealing edge enables the use in high pressure processes.

› HP-Sealcon (High Pressure) sealing edge for high pressure applications

image

Short installation length

Connecting the forwarding pipeline via threaded holes in the ball valve housing allows a very short length.

› Compact design

› Easy assembly in pipeline
