KB-15 co-ax valve

The powerful control tube design from co-ax® wasn’t the first valve specification in this application. But it was the last one. In fact our customer documented that the co-ax® cryogenic valve outperforms the valve it replaced by 300%. This level of routine performance has an obvious and positive impact on (a) reduced downtime, (b) reduced maintenance, and (c) reduced spare parts inventory.

In this low temperature, high cycle application, the co-ax® KB 15 valve is applied as an on/off valve to maintain an exact temperature of –65º F in the isolation chamber. Maintaining a positive shut-off under these conditions is crucial to the accuracy of the chamber.

Although this application didn’t really test the –326º F range of the co-ax® technology, it might not have been quite the right valve were it not for the valves’ low profile design. This last feature proved to be an essential benefit in the compact system controlling the precise temperature in the bench top chamber.

We know a lot about unusual and demanding applications. The exceptional accuracy and superior reliability of our coaxial power tube technology together with its huge operating range from vacuum to 7500 psi and from -326°F to 756°F consistently gets us involved in some real valving adventures. But we’re committed to helping our customers out of every demanding application they get themselves into.

co-ax valves for blow molding applications

Flow Factor and co-ax valves can solve many industrial applications with the co-ax coaxial valve line.  Robust and works.

co-ax® valves offer accuracy, repeatability and fast actuation for blow molding applications

co-ax valves for blow molding and industrial processes

VMK 10 DR NC

Blow molding is a manufacturing process where hollow plastic items are formed - in this case, plastic bottles. This specific blow molding machine uses an externally controlled (air operated) co-ax valve to operate. The air (500 psi) flows from port B to port A to form the bottle; once the plastic bottle is formed, the valve closes and the air is exhausted from port A to port C through a muffler.

Blow molding of plastic bottles requires air pressure control that is exact, repeatable and fast acting. Downtime can be devastating and have a costly impact to all manufacturers. Most conventional valves struggle to offer accuracy, repeatability and fast actuation for the toughest applications. As a result, premature failures and operational problems can occur. These can easily be prevented by using a co-ax valve.

The externally controlled (air operated) co-ax® valve is pressure balanced with operating conditions that can be customized with suitable seat and seal materials for virtually any applications. They are designed to be low maintenance and durable for a wide variety of applications, making them the best choice for systems that require high performance and reliable valves with predictable opening and closing speeds.

Why are co-ax® valves the preferred choice?

• Reduce downtime and maintenance cost
• Engineered for long life (high cycle life)
• Pressure balanced design
• Adjustable opening and closing speeds
