Modular design – flexible modular system for connections

One centerpiece, countless possibilities:
The series impresses with its modular design and offers maximum flexibility. Whether 2-, 3-, 4- or even 5-way configuration, whether connections with female threads, weld-on ends, clamp or flange connections – everything can be realized.

Thanks to the sophisticated modular system, individual requirements can be implemented quickly and easily. Even the centerpiece can be replaced with variants from the VL-Z328 or VL-Z340 series if required. The result is a solution that adapts perfectly to your processes.

Electric or pneumatic automation for ball valves

Maximize the functionality of your ball valves with pneumatic or electric actuators. Thanks to ISO 5211 mounting flanges, spindle extensions and mounting bridges, our valves are easy to automate – for precise control in industrial plants.

Your advantages:

  • Direct drive connection via ISO 5211 flange
  • Flexible adaptation with spindle extensions and couplings
  • Pneumatic and electric part-turn actuators for every application
  • Ideal for process automation, remote control and safety
  • Compatible with heating jacket fittings and special solutions

Heating jacket & leakage jacket for ball valves

Heatable 3-part stainless steel ball valve type R(A) HM valve DN25

Optimize your processes with heatable valves: heating jackets, leakage jackets or double jacket versions ensure temperature-stable media flow, prevent solidification and enable safe and efficient production processes. Ideal for ball valves, valves, filters and strainers in the chemical, food and process industries.

Your advantages

  • Uniform heat distribution for liquid media
    Individual adaptation to valves and pipelines
  • Suitable for steam, thermal oil or hot water
  • Optionally with weld-on ends, flanged connection or special design
  • Increased safety due to leakage jacket

Flanging of 3-part straight-through ball valve – Extension of butt weld ends

Armaturenfabrik Valve modification of industrial valves, conversion, extension with flanges, flanging, ball valve, 3-part ball valve
Armaturenfabrik Valve modification of industrial valves, ball valve butt weld ends extension and welding for ball valves and other valves

We offer professional modifications for your valves:

  • Flanging of 3-part straight-way ball valves – including disassembly, modification and welding of welding neck flanges to DIN EN 1092-1, sealing surface form B1.
  • We also manufacture flanges to ANSI on request
  • Extended butt weld ends – special sizes and face-to-face lengths for steel or stainless steel, tested for leaks and manufactured to your specifications.

All work is carried out in accordance with the standard, with functional testing and optional certification (e.g. APZ 10204-3.1 B).

Benefit from customized solutions, fast implementation and the highest quality – even for the ball valves you provide.

Spindle extensions and stem extensions for ball valves

Increase the user-friendliness of your ball valves with stem or stem extensions. This modification is ideal for isolated valves or valves that are difficult to access and enables convenient manual operation or the connection of pneumatic and electric actuators.
