RUF3 Series - Check Valves
Product Type:
Valves / Check Valves
The RUF Series Check Valve is used in places where a return flow of product in pipelines must be avoided. This check valve is utilized in brewery, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical processing.
Advantages
- Reduced maintenance cost due to robust and reliable bearing. The valve has minimal parts.
- Flexible design - the valve can be installed horizontally or vertically.
- Easy to maintain - the intermediate flange design means that the valve can easily be removed from the line.
- Profile seals with ID markings that eliminate gaps and facilitate ordering of spares.
- Minimum flow resistance/pressure drop
- Smooth flow due to ball-shaped valve body
- Minimum response pressure at 0.72 psi (0.05 bar)
- Full opening cross-section at 1.16 psi (0.08 bar)
- Designed for CIP cleaning
- Soft seat seal
- The RUF3 check valve is designed for direct welding into process pipelines
Non-return check valve working principle
A non-return valve is used in places where return flow of product in pipelines must be avoided.
The valve opens by pressure of the liquid against the spring-loaded valve disc. The closing process is initiated by the preloaded spring when the liquid flows in the flow direction stops.
Components of the RUF3 non-return check valve:
- Flange
- Flange screw
- Flange seal
- Shaft bearing
- Housing seal
- Pressure spring
- Valve shaft
- Seat seal
- Valve body
