Ebro Armaturen (manufacturer of shut-off and control valves) has added a new butterfly valve specially designed for water applications to its product portfolio. Thanks to its flow-optimised design, it is said to cause minimal pressure losses and is therefore particularly suitable for pipelines with large volumes of water. The double eccentric design, a special seat design, shaft bearing and sealing with continuous corrosion protection should enable reliable use even under demanding conditions, for example in waste water systems or seawater desalination plants.
The WS112 is a double-flanged valve with a seal-on-disc design, which, according to the manufacturer, ensures a leak-free seal on both sides. The polygonal shaft is intended to ensure optimised, positive force transmission and eliminate the need for additional connecting elements, which is particularly advantageous for valves that are rarely operated. A dry-shaft design with precision bearings, O-rings and closed disc hubs is intended to ensure permanent corrosion protection and provide the epoxy resin-coated housing with additional protection against corrosion.
The WS112 is available exclusively in double flange design for nominal diameters from DN 100 to DN 1600, in several pressure ratings (PN 10, 16, 25, 40) and various lengths. The body is made of either grey cast iron or spheroidal graphite iron. In addition to electric actuators, other actuation variants such as slider-crank gearboxes are also available, according to the manufacturer.
Ebro Armaturen is an international company with over 1,000 employees and a global presence that has been developing, producing and selling shut-off and control valves as well as automation technology for industrial applications since 1972. It offers customised solutions for various industrial sectors such as the chemical, food and seawater desalination industries.
