Mode of Operation Membrane valves DELTA M4 have been developed for use in the brewing and beverage industries, dairy and food applications as control unit well as in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. DELTA CU valve position The function of the DELTA M4 valve is to shut off line sections. indicator The membrane valves offer optimum protection of the product in hygienic and aseptic applications.
Auxiliary Equipment - Valve position indication For the valve position indication, a proximity switch holder (PSH) can be installed direct on the actuator. To signal the limit position of the valve seat, proximity switches can be mounted to the holder if required. We recommend our APV standard types: operating distance: 5 mm / diameter: 11 mm.
Installation - The installation of the valve must be undertaken in such a manner that fluids can drain off the valve housing and should be provided preferably in vertical position. - The valve housing can be welded direct into the pipeline (completely dismantable valve insert).
