Industrial diaphragm valves
Valve specialists Crane Process Flow Technologies Ltd have introduced their new Saunders Exelon XA diaphragms, which, they say, will provide significant performance advantages in handling chemically aggressive slurries, such as those found in mining and quarrying.
The diaphragm material is a compound based on ethylene propylene technology that has been specially developed for the handling of aggressive slurries.
As a result, the company claims its Exelon XA diaphragms offer advantages in three key aspects of solids handling: improved flex life, resulting in reduced downtime and improved productivity; 70% improvement in elastic recovery, resulting in better sealing performance and reduced emissions; and maximized rebound resilience, leading to improved erosion resistance, while maintaining the same high level of chemical resistance as previous Saunders EP and butyl-based diaphragms.
The latest diaphragms are compatible with all existing Saunders industrial diaphragm valves and are available as new installations or direct diaphragm replacements. All valves comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC and conform to EN 13397 and MSS SP88 standards.
