A new product structure for this butterfly valve series
VAG-Armaturen
At IFAT, this company is introducing a new product structure for its EKN butterfly valve series. The valve series is now subdivided into an H, M and B series. The H Series (photo) stands for high performance, and this subdivision is also one of the innovations being presented at IFAT. This series features a new design with a patented hydrodynamic disc, an expanded inner diameter and patented pressure-equalization channels. These features combine to minimize pressure drop and reduce turbulence near the outlet, which results in energy savings. Other features, such as even more efficient corrosion protection, extend the life of the valves, making them suitable for applications in water treatment, water distribution, power stations and dams. The M-series of EKN butterfly valves offer added corrosion protection, a wear-resistant housing seat, an automatic and flow-independent sealing system, a distinctive sealing profile, as well as a double eccentric bearing. Finally, the newly created B (base) version is specifically used only for water treatment and water distribution. Hall A4, Stand 151/250 — VAG-Armaturen GmbH, Mannheim, Germany
