Modular matrix manifold
Unlike the matrix manifold the modular manifold is piggable in both sides. This is a benefit
in case of frequent product changes. All connections to the connected pipelines can be
produced directly and simultaneously. The single valves are mounted to the base frame and
are connected to the four connection pipes by sleeves. The whole of installed valves is
fixed with locking plates which are connected via tension rods. The base frame can be laid
out for horizontal and vertical alignment of the manifold intersections. All dynamic
seals are exchangeable within minutes.
Thanks to the pressure-supported operation of the elastomer-assisted seal system, the manifold's connection must never be switched when pressurised.

- Closed and piggable on both sides
- Compact installation size
- No hoses or couplings:
Maximum safety and prevention from leakages and accidents - For pipelines with DN 50, 80 and 100 in one manifold
- Integrated pig catcher unit
- Few movable components – minimal maintenance
- Automatic or manual operation
- Piggable from and to connections
- Modular design for easy extension
- Cost-effective
The manifold unit is a grid pattern distribution node which is piggable to both sides. In its
initial state it consists of two separate pigging lines which are arranged in two levels and
in right angle to each other. By switching the manifold the pigging lines are connected to
each other. At the same time, pig catch inserts are rotated into the pipeline.
Distribution from 2 to 3 pigging lines, piggable in 2 levels. 2 carriage
actuators switch the single manifold intersections. Here: Continuously in
size DN 50.
A manifold with a distribution from 4 to 6 pigging line in the continuous size DN 100.
For operation it is equipped with single pneumatic actuators. Switching is effected
with rotary actuators. Each manifold intersection has its own rotary actuator.
