“V” Port Ball Valves for Control and Simplicity

A-T Controls / Triac "V" Series Ball Valves are ideal for achieving more precise control while maintaining simplicity and sealing features. A-T Controls offers 1/2" – 4" 3-piece and 1/2" – 6" flanged sizes. Standard "V" notch angles are 30°, 60°, and 90°. While manual valves are available, A-T Controls specializes in automating them to meet your specific control needs. 

V-port valves provide more accurate and consistent control than traditional round ported ball valves.
A-T Controls manufactures "V" port valves with the control port cast and machined into the ball rather than the seat, resulting in significantly improved flow characteristics and the elimination of the need to replace seats. The 30° option provides finer tapered control throughout the valve rotation, while the 60° and 90° options offer a higher Cv as well as controlled flow. 

The V7 valves come standard with a PTFE seat, while the V8, V9, and FVD9 V-port valves come standard with a 50/50 STFE seat. The 50/50 SST powder/PTFE blend provides both strength and superior sealing properties.

Honoring Our Veterans Today and Everyday

The Drexelbrook DR3500 80 GHz FMCW Radar for Liquids With Hygienic Requirements

The Drexelbrook DR3500 is a two-wire open-air radar level transmitter ideal for measuring liquids in hygienic and sanitary applications. 

The DR3500, FMCW 80 GHz radar level transmitter provides cutting-edge performance for liquids in sanitary applications. The DR3500 offers a wide range of hygienic process connections, including flush-mounted PEEK Lens antennas. These are CIP/SIP compatible, and this model has a small dead zone and beam angles, making them ideal for small and narrow tanks. 

PEEK Lens antennas can measure levels up to 50m / 164 feet. This continuous, non-contact level measurement transmitter is ideal for high and narrow tanks and small and agitated tanks. 

The DR3500 is a two-wire radar level measurement instrument with an easy-to-use touch screen user interface and a clear navigation display. This level transmitter can determine the actual level in the tank even with agitated surfaces due to its robust signal processing and large bandwidth.

Key DR3500 Features

• Process conditions up to +300⁰F (150⁰C) and 362 psig (25 barg)
• Extensive choice of hygienic process connections
• Small dead zone and beam angle for small and narrow tanks
• Flush-mounted PEEK Lens antenna: CIP/SIP suitable
• 3 Year Warranty

NON-CONTACT LEVEL MEASUREMENT

FMCW radar transmitters enable continuous, contactless level measurement of liquids, pastes, granulates, powders, and other solids across a wide range of industries. 

DR3500 Industries:

• Pharmaceutical
• Biotech
• Biopharma
• Food & Beverage

The COMPACT Quarter-turn Rack and Pinion Pneumatic Actuator

The Habonim COMPACT actuator is a quarter-turn rack and pinion pneumatic actuator that doubles the torque of conventional pneumatic actuators. Habonim's patented four piston design, which generates torque around a centrally located piston, is responsible for superior performance, translating to double the power for the same size actuator or half the size for the same power. 

The COMPACT has four small cylinders, one on each of the cube's four sides. The smaller pinion and minimized travel distance of the pistons in the COMPACT require less air pressure to produce the same torque output as a larger double piston actuator. As a result, there's a reduction in emergency shutdown response, air consumption during operation, and maintenance.  Habonim's unique quarter-turn COMPACT actuators have the superior performance of twice the torque per size, much longer cycling before any care, high opening and closing speed, and exceptional durability in the most demanding industrial environments. 

STANDARD ACTUATOR FEATURES

NAMUR & ISO interface

A wide range of accessories such as solenoids, positioners, and limit switches are available for direct mounting to the COMPACT actuator, and any accessory with ISO 5211 and VDI/VDE 3845 (NAMUR) will mount to the actuator. 

NAMUR VDI/VDE 3845

This standard specifies various accessories with VDI/VDE interfaces, such as limit switches, pucks, indicators, and positioners, with simple mounting onto the actuator top face. 

NAMUR solenoid mounting

One of the four actuator covers available includes a pad for solenoid mounting per the NAMUR international standard. Any solenoid that conforms to the NAMUR interface can be directly mounted to the actuators, simplifying solenoid installation and eliminating the need for additional piping. Because the pressurized air supply is available at the port entrance, it also allows for quick actuation response. 

ISO 5211

The actuator bottom flange conforms to the ISO 5211 international standard and includes a star-shaped female drive to accommodate a wide range of valve output shafts. The valve can be attached to the actuator with a bracket or mounted directly onto the actuator using one of the ISO hole patterns.

COMPACT actuators are part of control packages in various industries and providing superior performance in the cycle times, size, weight, compressed-air consumption, and reliability in high cyclic applications.
