Total isolation valves

Media separated valves are suitable for a wide range of applications. The valve portfolio of A. u. K. Müller offers the following media separated valves:

• Direct acting solenoid valves with media separation by diaphragm

• Direct acting solenoid valves with media separation by a PTFE bellow

• Lever valves

• Pinch valves

Specialists for critical fluids

Media separated valves are used in numerous applications for the handling of critical media. For the flow control of aggressive, particle loaded or high purity liquids it is essential to separate the hydraulic and electrical parts of the valve from the flow path. Depending on the valve type no other valve components other than the valve housing and separation membrane or tubing are in contact with the media. The complete valve mechanism is located outside the fluid space. Therefore, the fluid is protected from contamination and excessive temperature fluctuations. The separation membrane and valve body are made of resistant materials and can be flushed easily due to the small dead space.

Various valve types for a variety of applications

Depending on the type of application, different valve types are used. A. u. K. Müller offers direct acting valves with isolating diaphragm or bellows as well as pinch valves and lever valves. Typically they are available as a 2/2 or 3/2-way variants.

As well as media separation, all these valve types have the benefit of reduced dead space, flexibility in both mounting position and flow direction. The ability to produce either standard or specially designed versions allow these valves to be incorporated into a wide range of possible applications in diverse industries such as medical or analytical instrumentation, process industry or food technology.
