If you use butterfly valves on critical processes, ensuring the valves are operated in the correct sequence can be achieved by adding an Alcatraz valve interlock from Valtorx.
Butterfly valves above 6” (DN150) often have a gearbox fitted to reduce the turning effort. For these valves, a multi-turn interlock is required.
For butterfly valves below 6”, these are usually quarter-turn movement through 90 ° with a lever.
Historically, valve interlocks for quarter turn valves have been bulky and heavy. However, with the constant evolution of Alcatraz valve interlocks, even small diameter butterfly valves can be fitted with the latest interlock which is small and compact.
The interlock connects with the drive stem and the bonnet or mounting flange on the valve, becoming an integral feature of the valve.
The Alcatraz range of valve interlocks offered by Valtorx incorporates a device for every kind of manual or motorised valve. This includes:
- Gate Valves
- Ball Valves
- Globe Valves
- Plug Valves
- Diaphragm Valves
