SMC ANZ JSB series angle seat valve

SMC Corporation Australia New Zealand (ANZ) has introduced its JSB series angle seat valve, which is designed to provide benefits such as boosting flow rates and reducing pressure loss.

With a long service life and a large flow rate, the series is suitable for steam, air and water applications in a range of industries such as water management, dairy, food & beverage and other process controls.

The air-operated valve features an angle seat structure to minimise pressure loss. It can deliver up to three million cycles for steam applications and up to 10 million cycles in air and water applications. Thanks to the optimised flow channel shape, a larger flow rate is possible, with a valve flow coefficient of approximately 2.5.

The addition of a new scraper function to the squeeze seal inside the valve is designed to enable more effective shut-off of fluid leakage. A guide bushing is designed to prevent misalignment of the valve components during operation and lengthen the life of the squeeze valve.

The all-in-one valve with stainless steel construction is available with port sizes in 3/8 to 2″ and is capable of handling fluids with high temperatures (up to 183°C for steam and 99°C for air and water).

With its compact design (measuring just 166 mm in height), a built-in visual indicator and low maintenance requirements, the valve is easy to install and to use.

It is available in seven size variations, to suit different application requirements, with optional fittings available for pilot ports and breathing ports.
