Project Lohse valves

For a party within the chemical industry, a manual valve was installed in a filling system for big bags. The problem with this was that the valve regularly blocked. As a result, this valve had to be taken out and cleaned every three weeks.

Due to the awkward position of this valve, this resulted in a time-consuming process with high costs.

Hanwel supplied a Lohse CDSQP 400 x 300 valve, a special version with pneumatic actuator and EPDM seals. Through a one-to-one exchange, the design department redesigned this rectangular version.

Thus, the difference in installation height was accommodated with an intermediate plate. At the same time, because of this limited installation height, a shorter damper blade was designed to avoid a conflict with the screw conveyor. In this way, Hanwel delivered a customized solution with a time- and cost-saving process.
