Krones unveils its own series of valves

Krones

To live up to its aspiration of perfection to the last detail Krones is now offering its own range of self-designed valves.

As of now the EvoGuard family of high-performance valves is available, all of them manufactured in-house. The components have been designed in all commonly used connection variants and with the nominal diameters customarily used in the food and beverage industries, and provide a series of advantages in both daily operation and maintenance routines.

Krones is assuming responsibility for yet another task category in terms of process technology, and purposefully progressing its single-source vendor strategy.

The paramount requirement for the designers of Krones’ new series of EvoGuard valves was the incorporation of a highperformance seal. The use of leading-edge material technologies for producing the compounds involved in field-proven qualities creates significant advantages for both disk valves and single or double-seat valves.

The seal design and the installation space for the seal take due account of its change in volume and the stress it suffers from differing temperatures or in cleaning routines. In addition, meaningful design features have been simplified, like using a standardised model for the disk seal of the double-seat valve, and for the axial and radial seals as well. This precludes the possibility of mistakes when replacing or re-ordering seals.

One standard component of the EvoGuard valves is the welded, maintenance-free actuator, designed for a long useful lifetime. Another special feature is the actuator for the double-seat valves, which enables the valve to be fastcycled and also reduces compressed-air consumption.

In addition to the seal design and the high-performance actuator unit, The EvoGuard range features extensive and effective measures for enhancing occupational safety. One example is the guard at the link between the valve’s housing and its actuator – all moving parts are thus protected, precluding the possibility of unintended intervention.
