Hagen, March 2022 – The Hagen-based industrial valves specialist EBRO ARMATUREN has launched INFLAS PRO, an innovative method of controlling inflatable seats in the series of INFLAS valves. The control unit, equipped with a microcontroller, not only cycles the full range of operations for opening and closing the valve, it also monitors all the relevant parameters. Thus, it can proactively detect potential malfunctions in advance and report them back to the PLC via a volt-free contact.

Considered separately, a valve is a non-electrical device that does not have a potential ignition source of its own. However, when installed and working within an operating environment, valves are capable of becoming electrostatically charged and causing hot surfaces. Thus, ultimately, they can indeed be considered a potential source of ignition. For this reason, valves come under the scope of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/ EU. Issue: 2019/2020

In form- and core-shooting machines, which work with the air-flow method, the quartz sand mixed with binder is shot at high pressure into a core box. The closing fitting of the core box in this application – the butterfly valve – is thus exposed to extreme pressure conditions, which it has to withstand – a great challenge for the plant operator.
