ISEM

BALL SEGMENT VALVE

Hosokawa Micron has developed the unique Hosokawa ISEM ball segment valve as an in- and outlet valve for mixers and vacuum dryers. This valve is gas, dust and liquid tight, has no flow resistance when opened and is easy to clean and access. The full bore passage, the housing without static pockets and the sealing designs make it the best valve for applications where reliability of the valve sealing is a key issue.

The ISEM valve has proven its reliability under difficult conditions and is a very popular valve for process installations using vacuum or pressure in combination with solvents or toxic materials. The ISEM valve has also been adopted by other machine manufacturers as an addition to their own mixers, dryers and reactors.

The special design of the ISEM ball segment valve impresses with its full passage, its housing without hydrostatic pockets and the various sealing materials available. The ISEM ball segment valve is suitable for a wide variety of processes and systems under pressure conditions as well as under vacuum conditions where disruptions in product processing and cross-contamination must be avoided at all costs.

Thanks to their excellent cleanability, ISEM ball segment valves are very popular with OEMs in various industries such as food, chemical, nuclear, minerals and metals.

  • Charge and discharge valve for mixers, (vacuum) dryers, sterilisation systems, reactors, storage silos and piping for e.g. poisonous, corrosive and flammable products and processes.
  • Pre-dosing valves in packing systems, coarse metering of product flows.
  • Barrier valve in process installations.
  • Flip-flop valves for powder dosing in pressurized systems.
  • Key features
    • Full-bore product opening.
    • Heavy duty design, long operating life time.
    • No static pockets and dead zones where product can store, minimal clearances towards rotating parts possible.
    • Seal access without taking apart the valve.
    • Closable in dynamic product column.
    • Dimensions: available from 75 to ~800 mm, ANSI and DIN.
    • Design pressure: full vacuum to 6 bar(a).
    • Design temperature -20°C / 200°C (higher temperatures on request).
    • Design: ATEX zone 20-22  and 1-2 (powders and gasses).
  • Applications
    • Dry powders
    • Wet powders & filter cakes
    • Pastes
    • Liquids
  • Models

    ISEM ball segment valves are available in several sizes. A number of sizes with their typical characteristics are described below. Please note that these values are indicative only. Detailed information is available on request.
