HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATION''S ISSUES? OMAL AUTOMATION IS THE SOLUTION

One main concept is common in each product: they have been produced following the company pay-off “Empowered Performance”. It means to offer reliable products that are really high-quality, containing tangible and evincible advantages.

Herewith we would like to focus and highlight the high-pressure ball valves series called “HERCULES”, specifically developed for CNG compressors and dispensers application.

HERCULES series is one of the latest product development of OMAL and also in this case the aim was to have an empowered product that was absolutely suitable for high ciclicity purpose. So, starting from the first development phases, the engineers were designing a system that could allow an added value in term of reliability and durability.

The results of this study is shown on HERCULES: a rolled stem with two bushing-guides in order to guide the stem and let it self-centring, a harder O-Ring properly developed for gas high-pressure and a special

material (“Extreme”) sealing seat for the ball, just to give you some examples. All these features allow a low-friction among the components, less torque in the system and as consequence high ciclicity and durability.

The “automated” version of HERCULES has antistatic-device, fire-safe design and with ATEX certificate upon request.

This ball valve is appropriate to a lot of high-pressure media application, like wash-water systems or hydraulics oil, but it is the PERFECT solution for CNG: compressors, skids, distribution lines, dispensers for vehicle refuelling. HERCULES Series is available both in carbon and stainless steel, from 1/8” to 2” for pressure up to 500 bar / 7000 psi
