Sudmo Double Block and Bleed Butterfly Valve

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Pentair Südmo F250D/F251D hygienic double block and bleed butterfly valve integrates two butterfly disks arranged in series and independent vent/drain valves to provide safe separation of incompatible fluids (e.g. CIP and product).  This unique design enables complete isolation of the self-draining leakage cavity with one valve housing.

Südmo hygienic Double Block and Bleed Butterfly Valves’ twin discs are operated by a pneumatic actuator connected to the discs by a linkage arrangement.  The same actuator also operates pneumatic poppet valves designed to allow the introduction and draining of fluids. These innovative butterfly valves are exceptionally well suited for providing isolation and/or control in hygienic applications throughout the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Linkage drive requires only one control actuator. 
• Specially positioned poppet valves provide turbulent circular washing action and create emergency drain to atmosphere.
• Fully machined 304L or 316L stainless steel body.
• Failsafe pneumatic interlocks.
• Overlapping discs minimize leakage cavity volume.
• Actuator travel stops prevent disc contact.
• Easily automated.
