Modular matrix manifold

DeUnlike 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.
Benefits
- 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
Functions
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.
Options
The manifold can be equipped with following options:
- Base frames and system mounting plates for later extensions
- Automatic or manual operation
- Special materials as base material and for seals
