The
Type A Megaflex is the most economical large diameter
automatic valve available.
First
introduced by Red Valve, the Type A Megaflex Valve,
available in sizes 20” to 84”, is extremely simple
in design and principle. As with every Red
Valve Pinch Valve, the elastomer sleeve is the
only wearing part, drastically reducing maintenance
costs. The Megaflex Valve’s full-ported
actuation is accomplished by air or hydraulic
pressure. The Megaflex Valve’s steel body
acts as a built-in actuator, eliminating costly
pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic components.
Pressure within the space between the body and
the sleeve can open, throttle, or close the valve.
Unlike traditional gate and butterfly valve designs,
there are no disks or gates to obstruct flow or
create turbulence. 15 psi over line pressure
will close the Megaflex.
Thousands of dollars of savings
are realized because Megaflex Valves have
little head loss, substantially reducing pumping
costs.
Type
A Megaflex Valves are often used as effluent discharge
valves controlling raw sewage, storm overflow,
flow equalization, tailings in mining operations,
and bulk material handling.
