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.

ISEM ball segment valve

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.

  • 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.
