DELCO DK17E Pneumatic Drum Valve - Full Bore Axial Flow, High Viscosity
The DELCO DK17E Pneumatic Drum Valve (also known as a Shuttle Valve) features a unique axial flow design. The internal piston moves laterally to open a full-bore, straight-through path, minimizing pressure drop to near zero. This obstruction-free design makes it perfect for handling highly viscous fluids, slurries, and systems requiring pigging capabilities.
Features
A specialized pneumatic axial flow valve with a full-bore straight-through design, ideal for high-viscosity fluids and zero-pressure-drop applications.
✅Straight-Through Axial Flow: Unlike the diverted path of Pneumatic Angle Seat Valves, this valve opens to form a straight pipe extension, offering the lowest possible flow resistance and zero pressure loss.
✅Ideal for Viscous Media: The unobstructed full bore design allows thick fluids like glue, paste, grease, and chocolate to pass through easily without clogging or reducing flow rates.
✅Pigging Compatible: The straight, full-port internal structure allows for the passage of cleaning pigs, making it an excellent choice for pipelines requiring frequent mechanical cleaning.
✅Compact & Lightweight: The "drum" shape design is extremely compact compared to ball or gate valves, saving valuable installation space and reducing pipeline weight load.
✅Fast Pneumatic Response: The internal piston is driven directly by air pressure for rapid opening and closing, suitable for high-speed filling and dosing applications.
