INTRODUCTION

The Pneucon Vnotch Ball valves give non-
clogging, high capacity, straight through flow control
of fluids containing pulp and paper stock or slurries
and fluids containing suspended solids or fibrous
materials. For highly accurate positioning and
precise control, pneucon V- notch ball valves are
offered squared and clamped driven shaft plus ball
shaft with splined connection designed for zero lost
motion.

DESIGN AND PREFORMANCE FEATURES

A Shearing effect between the ball and seal ensures tight shut-off, even on fibrous slurries.
The unrestricted, straight through flow design provides high capacity and wide rangeability.
Precise contouring of the V-notch balls provides a nearly equal percentage characteristic.
Replaceable ball seal and back up ring for added rigidity.
Ball machined to a super smooth finish, hard chrome plated and polished to increase ball
seal life.
High Cv to body size ratio.

INSTALLATION
The valve should preferably be installed with actuator vertically above or below the valve body. It can be installed
in a horizontal or angled position if actuator is suitably supported. Necessary clearance should be provided above
the actuator to permit servicing.
The flange bolts are to be tightened evenly to avoid placing strain on the body.
The inlet of air pressure regulator (Air set) should be connected to the pneumatic supply line. Supply pressure to
the diaphragm actuator should be either 1.5 kg/cm (20 psig) or 2.5 kg/cm (35 psig) as per indication on the
nameplate. For cylinder actuator, supply pressure specified. For control applications, the air set and valve
positioner are mounted, piped and adjusted at the factory.

Final check
After installation, check the valve operation for full stroke travel as indicated on the nameplate, check for leaks in
air line connection. Open and close the valve two or three times to ensure proper operation. Before commissioning
the process flow, it is essential to flush clean the piping properly.
Ball valves require minimum maintenance for its operation. Apply a few drops of oil on the exposed guides and
bushings, Hand wheel, if present, must be greased periodically.
