Ink Valves

    2 - 3 Way Diaphragm Valves


      Diaphragm valves designed to obtain an optimal fluid passage with a constant diameter related to their sizes:1/2” 3/4" - 1” - 1"-1/2”.

      The diaphragms are in PTFE with seal pad wear recovery. The valve cannot seize in any situation since it has no seal gaskets; the reverse movement is very rapid.

      The valve life span is over one million reversals, without any apparent wear. Just think that these diaphragms are mounted as standard on our compressed air pumps that perform 110-130 cycles per minute, eight hours a day in continuous operation. In short, the occasional operation of a valve in this application means that its duration is practically infinite.

      The valves are air piloted with a maximum test bench work pressure at 8 bar. The optimum pilot pressure should be the same as the pressure of the fluid being handled, both to save compressed air and to avoid unnecessary stress on the diaphragm.

      The air control is exactly the same as a dual effect cylinder, it enables PLC diagnostics, when there is pressure the valve switching is assured. Even complex circuits can be easily created and are extremely compact thanks to the 3-way flow configuration..

    A Typical Application


      With this configuration, using PLC, a air or manual control can fully automate the four operations required to feed the ink, recover it, clean the pump, blades and piping, recover the solvent and restart the cycle.
