Cone valve

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a brochure for the K5 and K6 cone valves designed for bulk materials, specifically for pneumatically operated systems used to close pressure vessels. These valves are particularly suitable for abrasive materials and offer a longer service life compared to butterfly valves.
Specifications:
  • Standard Design (K5): Features a housing made of ductile iron, robust design, suitable for vessel pressures up to 10 bar(g), and includes a pneumatically operated double-acting quarter turn actuator. The sealing is made of abrasion-resistant elastomer, with a maximum product temperature of 100°C. The valve includes replaceable sealing and seat ring, and position monitoring via a limit switch.
  • Special Design (K6): Made of stainless steel, suitable for product temperatures up to 200°C, and compliant with ATEX for zone 20 inside and 22 outside. It is designed for fluids in group 1 according to PED 97/23/EC and offers customized outlet connections and inlet protection.
Applications: The cone valves are used as inlet closures for pneumatic pressure vessel conveyors and shut-off valves, particularly for abrasive bulk materials like cement, fly ash, sand, and aluminum oxide. They serve as replacements for conventional butterfly valves to extend service life.
Advantages:
  • Optimized product flow due to the steep angle of the cone.
  • Compact design and dimensions.
  • Ability to close against full product flow, depending on the product.
  • High throughput rates, varying by size (DN 200, DN 300, DN 400).
  • Minor wear and self-cleaning sealing surface.
  • Adjustable opening and potential for later installation.
Dimensions: The document provides detailed dimensions for the K5/K6 models, indicating minimal space requirements for assembly and disassembly, with additional space needed for temperatures above 100°C.
Contact Information: The brochure lists contact details for Gericke offices in Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, France, Netherlands, Brazil, Singapore, and China.

Cone valve-1

NEW Cone valve K5 and K6 for bulk materials Pneumatically operated cone valve for closing of pressure vessels. Sealing is carried out by means of a conical seal which is pressed against a seat ring by means of a pneumatic rotary drive. The overpressure in the pressure vessel also backs up the sealing process. The abrasion on the sealing surfaces is automatically counterbalanced to a certain degree by means of the closing device. Both the conical seal and the seat ring can be replaced individually. The cone valve has a much longer service life than a butterfly valve when used with abrasive products. Areas of application: • Inlet closure for pneumatic pressure vessel conveyor • Shut-off valve • Particularly suitable for abrasive bulk materials, e.g. cement, fly ash, sand, aluminium oxide etc. • Replacement of conventional butterfly valve for a longer service life Advantages: • Optimised product flow thanks to steep angle of the cone • Compact design • Closes against full product flow (depending on product) • High throughput (depending on product): DN 200: 15 – 50 m3/h DN 300: 40 – 120 m3/h DN 400: 70 – 210 m3/h • Minor wear • Adjustable opening • Compact dimensions • Self-cleaning sealing surface • Installation possible at a later date Brochure No. 649_en
