Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph one of our LockMesh® Coated Actuators after 2 years of service. This unit comes from a prominent salt mining and processing company. They have had great success using our LockMesh® Coated Actuators. With several hundred units installed, they have specified our coated actuators for all future projects. This is a significant cost savings for them when compared to the alternatives of stainless steel actuators or replacing standard aluminum actuators every few months.

More info on our LockMesh® Coating:
https://www.maxairtech.com/literature/04-FeatureFocus/00-Max-Air_FeatureFocus_LockMesh.PDF

Max-Air is proud to offer our advanced coating system, LockMesh®.
This hybrid coating system combines the rugged toughness of a stainless
steel base coating with the corrosion resistance of PTFE.

Corrosive environment applications such as marine areas, caustic
wash down, submerged service, and direct chemical exposure require
equipment with enhanced corrosion resistance. Frequently the common
options are plating, painting, or a change to stainless steel construction.
All of these can be effective in some applications; however, they do have
limitations and in some cases carry a significant weight and/or cost
impact.

LockMesh® has been shown to provide a cost effective compromise.
It provides the chemical resistance of PTFE along with the durability
enhancement of a stainless steel base layer.

In many dry bulk applications, there is a valve setup need for material dumping or unloading from hoppers. In this simple setup using a spring return spool valve, a double acting actuator has been configured as a fail safe/closed unloading valve. Intervention from an operator is required to open the valve and start the movement of the material. As soon as the lever is released, the valve returns to the closed position thus helping to prevent spillage and material loss/contamination.

These can also be configured with spring return actuators for a complete fail safe in the case of loss of air pressure and, with the addition of a quick exhaust valve, the closing stroke can be made even faster. Air lines can be run from the hopper to a location that is safe and relatively dust free to keep operators as safe as possible.

Patented Spherical-Disc
Diffuser-Plate Design
This is NOT just a modified butterfly valve; it is uniquely patented design that overcomes some of the limitations of classic control valves. Compared to the industry standard Globe Valve, this design has improved control at lower flow rates, better range-ability, higher flow capacity, reduced noise and vibration, and all at a lower cost.

Design Advantages
Unparalleled Range-Ability w/ Equal Percentage Flow
Controllable Range 5°-85° (Rangeability up to ~600:1)
Optimal Control Range 10°-70° (Rangeability up to ~100:1)
Fine-Tuned Low Flow Control and High Flow Capacity
Reduced Noise & Vibration
Two Control Phases
The superiority of this patented design is in the Two Control Phases.

Spherical-disc diffuser-plate design allows for two phases of control seamlessly integrated into Equal Percentage Flow Characteristics
Two optimized phases increase controllability in each phase and overall range-ability
Low flow phase forces all flow through the diffuser plate Diffuser plate provides low-noise, stable control for very low flow rates Allows for backpressure with very low noise
High flow phase allows flow to bypass around the disc

Maximum flow capacity comparable to a fully open butterfly valve

Flow remains parallel for minimal pressure drop, reduced noise
Scope:
Diffuser is defined as “A device for reducing the velocity and increasing the static pressure of a fluid passing through a system”. Delta T’s unique diffuser plate butterfly valve does that by incorporating a spherical edged disc with the diffuser plate to direct and diffuse the flowstream. This optimizes the ability to control flow and minimizes noise, cavitation and damaging high velocity jets of fluid. In the first 30° of rotation, when pressure drop is the highest, the spherical edged disc constrains the flow, directing it through the diffuser to minimize the potential for damaging flow conditions.
ANSI Class 150 and 300 in Wafer, Lugged, and Flanged body styles
Available in a broad selection of materials
WCB and CF8M bodies standard
CF8M Stainless Steel disc and stem standard
A variety of soft, fire safe, and metal seats available
Metal seated designs (high temperature, corrosive services, metallurgical-sensitive applications) with Class IV shutoff

Termination & Tubing
Max-Air Technology offers a simple and convenient way to minimize installation time by using our termination and tubing services. Why terminate wiring at two locations instead of one? Max-Air can pre-wire and terminate solenoid valve coils into our limit switch boxes, providing a single access point for electricians to install field wiring. Termination can be ordered for a variety of normal or hazardous duty environments using the ordering codes below. Max-Air can also install tubing between actuators and positioners or other air handling devices. Tubing is available in nylon, Teflon, or stainless steel – see tubing ordering codes below. Let Max-Air do the work so you don’t have to!

GO Series & GOW Series | Gear Operators
Handwheel driven gear operators for standalone operation or declutchable manual override.

Product Page: https://www.maxairtech.com/gear-operators/

Max-Air Technology offers two primary types of gear operators for use with quarter-turn valves; a manual gear, and a declutchable gear. Both types are designed with a broad output torque range, and are generally designed for use with ISO 5211 valve mounting interfaces, but not required. For the declutchable gear, an ISO 5211 interface is standard for the actuator and valve connections. Both units come standard with a female double square output drive, which directly couples to square valve stems, or quickly adapt to smaller square drives, or double-D and keyed drives with the use of adapter bushings.

Available Options
Chain Wheel Operators
Stem Extensions
Square Operating Nuts
Custom Sized Handwheels

This animation features Max-Air Technology's newest limit switch box, the explosion-proof MS48-2AL. The rugged aluminum construction guarantees that if a spark should occur internally, any explosion due to ignition of flammable gases or dusts will be contained within the housing.

The internal shaft couples directly to an actuator pinion with a Namur interface, and the adjustable cams provide positive position feedback to the controller at a remote location, showing without a doubt the state (open or closed) of the automated valve.

This video shows an easy way to convert a Max-Air UT11 DA (double-acting) from the normal configuration (pressurize left port to open counter-clockwise; pressurize right port to close clockwise) to an alternate configuration in which the ports and direction of pinion rotation are switched. Note: this must be done before mounting the actuator to a valve. This procedure also works with UT14 DA and UT19 DA actuators.

Normally, the UT71 and UT76 actuators only have travel stop adjustment for the fully open position. However, for double-acting applications, the pistons and the solenoid valve (not shown) can be reversed to achieve CCW rotation with travel stop adjustment for the fully closed position, which is useful for actuating triple-offset butterfly valves. This alternate configuration is shown in this animation.
