DOME VALVES FOR THE CEMENT INDUSTRY

DO YOU HAVE PROBLEM VALVES COSTING YOU DOWN TIME AND MONEY?

For decade the Cement Industry has been the core business for many of the Kockums Bulk System's. Kockum's product range is renowned for its quality, durability, reliability and exceptional performance. These traits are of great importance within the abrasive cement industry, where massive strains are placed on the technical infrastructures of manufacturers.

The Clyde Dome Valve compliments our already extensive product range. Through-out the world the Clyde Dome Valve has proven that it is the ultimate solution in applications where valve face high temperature, high pressure, abrasive products and rugged working environments.

Kockum's are Australia's leading pneumatic conveying specialist and provide organisations with the ability to transport material in an unrestricted, controlled and continuous manner at low velocity, consuming low volumes of compressed air. The result is the creation of solutions that absorb a minimal amount of power, cause less wear on system components and pipelines, and therefore, reduces maintenance costs and increases system availability, reliability and production.
These solutions can be used in the movement of cement and other bulk powders, or for the injection of additives or alternative fuels into the cement manufacturing process. This results in the production of a system that generates sustainable economic advantages, which include:
  • Significantly increases system reliability, availability and performance.
  • Dramatically reduces power consumption, compared with existing systems, helping to drive down operating costs.
  • Low maintenance, long life – negates high spare and maintenance costs.
  • Considerable improvements in production time – helping drive reductions in operational downtime.
  • Dust emissions are virtually non existent – the solution is totally enclosed, ensuring aspillage free system that generates exemplary environmental benefits.
  • Optimised and highly adaptable conveying pipeline design – ability to fit comfortably with existing plant layouts.

The solutions are further enhanced through the use of Clyde’s Dome Valve, widely regarded as the best material handling valve in the world. The Dome Valve has the ability to cut through static or moving columns of material through the use of its innovative inflatable seal mechanism, ensuring that a consistent, pressure tight seal is created when the valve is in the closed position, but in the open position, it provides an unrestricted, full bore opening for the best product flow characteristics possible.

The Clyde Dome Valve is recognised as a low maintenance, long life solution that can last at least 1 million cycles between maintenance inspections. It can also be used as an excellent diverter valve.
