SPX Flow BLV1 Series valves

SPX Flow has released an updated range of ball valves from its APV brand. The BLV1 Series valves are said to offer both durability and economy for a variety of applications in hygienic and non-hygienic applications.

The BLV1 Series share common parts with other APV valves, providing plants with a common look, controls interface and spare parts holding benefits. They are available with a simple manual handle with or without position feedback, as well as the same pneumatic actuators and a range of control units offered on the APV SV/SVS butterfly valve series. Advanced control unit options include the CU4 Series with ultrabright LED position sensors and internal solenoids.

The BLV1 design is cavity filled with reinforced PTFE seats, stainless steel construction and FDA-approved food-grade materials to provide hygienic performance. For utility service and other industrial chemical applications, the valves are designed with high temperature and pressure ratings and without the use of silicone. Other features include a wide range of both inch and metric sizes, full port opening for unrestricted flow in the open position, and lockable manual handle for added security.
