SoliValve®100 technology
The SoliValve®100 is the latest Cone Valve innovation from Visval.
Based on the same principle as its big brother, it allows for the first time fully automatic and contained (OEB5) handling of solids in Pouches, Charge bags, Charge bottles, and small drums/containers/hoppers (1L to 700L) thank a universal passive valve of ø 100 mm. Such containers are used for active ingredients like HPAPIs, APIs, Food Additives, Enzymes, Pigments, Metal powders, etc., within all major process industries.
The aperture of the SoliValve®100 is controlled by a highly accurate step motor and a play-free ball screw, allowing opening increments down to 0.1 mm.
This exceptional positioning provides incredible dosing accuracy for a wide range of weights, starting at a few grams to hundreds of kilos. With adequate scale resolution, the SoliValve®100 can reach a dosing accuracy of +/- 1g.The containment performance of the SoliValve®100 system has been tested and validated for OEB5 (<1µg/m3) applications by an independent institute (SMEPAC test).
Key Benefits of the SoliValve® Cone Valve technology:
- Fully automatic and dust-tight connecting & disconnecting of IBCs and FIBCs
- Controlled discharge and filling of poor and free-flowing powders
- Accurate / repeatable dosing directly from any FIBC or IBC with Passive-SoliValve®
- Fluidisation function to prevent bridging and segregation of powder.
- Partial discharging and undocking of IBCs, FIBCs and drums
- Removal of partially emptied/filled Big Bag and IBC without residual powder or dust.
- Fail-safe shut off of material.
- Available in a filling version as well, allowing customers to operate all their powder handling processes using one standardized docking system for all their mobile powder storage vessels
- The same Passive-SoliValve® can be used for discharging and filling.
- No requirement for proprietary IBC
- 2 sizes of cone valves: 250mm and 100mm.
SoliValve® is the answer to the limitations of all conventional docking systems currently available. It is designed to be used with IBCs, FIBCs, drums, and pouches from <1kg up to 1’500kg.
