Innovative Cartridge Design
The Hemiwedge® Cartridge Valve’s defining feature is its cartridge design, whereby all the valve’s internal parts (core, hemi, seat, stem, bushing) are affixed to the bonnet and may be removed by simply unbolting the bonnet fasteners and lifting the cartridge from the valve body. No special tools are required. Rapid replacement results in incredible maintenance cost savings and minimizes downtime.
Revolutionary Cartridge Design:
- Top Entry
- Ease of repair
- Reduced downtime
- Cartridge Interchangeability
Mechanically Seated:
The Hemiwedge® valve's innovative mechanically sealing principal, with the increased offset (shown in yellow) in the closed position, applies a positive force into the seat to provide reliable, bubble-tight sealing in low or high pressure applications.
- Hemiwedge® mechanical wedge
- Bubble tight sealing / Bi-directional
- Sealing at low or high pressure
- Reduced load during operation
Unique Stationary Core:
The seats in the Hemiwedge® design are never exposed to direct impingement of product flow greatly reducing the potential for damage and or erosion.
- Seats protected from product flow
- Reduced turbulence
- Eliminates pressure cuts on seats
- Comparative flow to ball valves
