Full bore with excellent flow characteristics
In open position the XV provide an unobstructed flow path where the media flow straight through.
Bi-directional tight zero leakage shut-off
The retainer ring system (1) on both side of the gate provide a tight seal independent of pressure direction and increased tolerance against pressure shocks. The retainers are mechanically locked and can easily be removed for seat change making any maintenance work to go quick and easy.
Self-cleaning function
During closure the gate cuts through the media and the bump (2) in the lower part of the bore raise the speed and force the media out of the valve and into the pipe. The valve clean itself each time it closes.
