This manifold unit has been applied for 25 years now. It can concentrate or distribute a maximum of 18 lines to two lines. This manifold guarantees leakage-free connections during and after coupling, regardless of pressure and flow direction. After loosening a connection there is no more contact between the product areas, a complete product separation is given. Moreover, on opening or disconnecting of the lines there is no formation of bubbles. This is a big advantage for the operation of mass meters. As an option the manifold can also open against locked-in pressure (up to nominal pressure).
Benefits
- Complete separation of different product lines
- Possibility of coupling and decoupling under high pressure and independent of flow direction
- Minimal flow resistance thanks to favourable shape and maximum utilisation of cross section
- Automatic or manual operation
- Almost zero product loss during decoupling. Therefore this manifold is a very safe and environment-friendly multi line coupling.
- The pipeline connection closes automatically on loss of control air
- No need for additional isolation valves in manifold valve's area
Functions
The full system rotary manifolds are based on one or two U-arms which turn centrally above each other. These U-arms are connected to pipelines with are arranged radially. The disconnecting points of the single pipeline systems are equipped with dry-break couplings. These facilitate a safe product separation and there are almost no residuals.
Options
The manifold can be equipped with following option:
- Without any problems the coupling can be opened and closed against the locked-in product pressure, which results from pressure surge, thermal expansion etc. in the full system.
- Pressure compensation mechanism for some pumps
