Interlocking small diaphragm valves

20 April 2015

For manufacturers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and personal care industries, locking off diaphragm sampling valves can be problematic. Usually located in wash-down areas, these small valves commonly control the flow of high purity water in closed loop systems.

The valves’ small size, conventional stainless steel interlocks are usually too big and heavy. To solve this problem, Smith Flow Control, has developed a new interlock for use with diaphragm valves in these and other hygiene-critical applications.

The new interlock uses a simple, rotational Ellis lock mechanism that is ideal for this application due to its compact design. It has an Acetal plastic body, which is lightweight and well suited for use with small diaphragm valves.
