DIMENSIONAL CHANGE OF VALPES ELECTRIC ACTUATORS

In accordance with the changes and updates to ATEX standards, necessary modifications and innovations are being made to the design of VALPES electric actuators. From January 2022, please pay attention to the valid datasheets corresponding to the current versions of the quarter-turn actuators from the VR, VS, VRX and VSX series.

             

The new design brings:
- Compliance with the latest ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) requirements for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres. 
- New certifications for EACEx (Russia) and IECEx (International) markets.

New electric actuator designs:
- 11 mm increase in overall height of VR and VRX.
- 15mm increase in overall height of VS and VSX
- Increased number and size of identification labels
- housing dimensions unchanged

The new design will also be used for the LT series (low temperature actuators) and DV series (DNV-GL certified actuators)

REALIZED PROJECTS

OMAL BALL VALVES WITH ACCESSORIES

Despite all the restrictions due to quarantines in the production plant, we delivered a complete range of 387 valve assemblies with accessories within the confirmed deadline (1/2022). As part of this project, the end user US STEEL Košice is commissioning the OMAL ball valve technology, which is fitted with a special shaft extension, locking system and limit switches.  ROTECH TCR1VVAZ type of electromechanical switches with ATEX II 2 G Ex d e IIC T6 Gb certification have been approved for end position signalling.

                 

TTV BUTTERFLY VALVES WITH VALPES ELECTRIC ACTUATORS

At the end of 2021, a gas filtration unit was commissioned at our long-standing customer, which is involved in the production of materials for road construction and road maintenance. In cooperation with our partner OEP Solution, we participated in this project by supplying OMAL shut-off and control valves with VALPES electric actuators.
