Rotary Valves for South Africa
Twenty-two drop through rotary valves for a well-known beer producer
Safe and Sound
With due observance of the current government regulations, we are glad to be able to continue our services and deliver components to our customers in time. Like this shipment of 12 H-AR350 and 10 H-AR250 drop through rotary valves for a Dutch based world-wide well-known beer producer.
Our customer gained the order for a plant in South Africa to be restored to basic conforming to ATEX guidelines. Upgrading the existing rotary valves was quite expensive, so it was decided to replace them for TBMA H-AR flame proof and explosion proof rotary valves that are suitable to be used as Autonomous Protective System (APS).
The rotary valves will be installed before and after elevators that handle barley and roasted malt. Since the elevators have to be isolated from the rest of the system, the valves will act as barriers in case an explosion occurs within the elevator.
