Intended Use

The intended use as field of application of the APV DELTA RGMS4
aseptic modulating valve is the flow and pressure control of liquids
and gases.
Arbitrary, constructive changes at the valve will influence safety
as well as the intended functionality of the valve and are not
permissible.

4. Mode of Operation
4.1. General Information
- Aseptic modulating valves RGMS4 can be used for the continuous
regulation of flows in the beverage and food industries and in
chemical and pharmaceutical applications.
- The modulating valves are suited for the flow and pressure regulation
of fluids and gases.
C
- An optimum protection of the product in hygienic and aseptic areas
is guaranteed.
- At the shaft passages product safety is reached by the hermetic
separation of the product chamber from the outside (atmosphere)
by a flexible diaphragm.
- In its basic shape, the Delta RGM4 is designed as a corner valve.
Therefore, the valve proves favourable flow deviation characteristics.
E
The flow direction is from A to B (fig. 1).
- The housing which is free of dead spaces has optimum cleaning
L
features. Crevice-free sealing of the individual housing parts by
profile seals - no source of infection.
- Leakages at the membrane are indicated in the yoke area via a
leakage drain (L).
diaphragm
- The interdependence between flow and cone stroke is defined by
the characteristics.
- Different kvs values (flow) with a certain valve dimension can be
reached by different inserts (valve seat / valve cone). (fig. 1)
- The table in Item 12. shows the parts to be changed in case
of modification of the kvs value.
- The connections (C) or the electric and pneumatic supply are
located laterally at the positioner (G).
- An optical position indication (stroke indication) is located in the
yoke area (E).
