The new Festo KVZA Butterfly-Valve Configurator lowers overhead costs by speeding up and simplifying procurement of manual and automated butterfly valves. In a few short minutes, engineers can have the price, estimated delivery date, data sheet, bill of material, 2D CAD data, 3D CAD models, and certificates of the optimum butterfly valve for the application.
This new tool provides support throughout the entire valve procurement process from search to order. All the following are combined into a single tool: configuration, sizing, documentation, request for quotation, ordering, and delivery.
Many actuation and automation options are available through the KVZA configurator, including: Manual (hand lever) or Automated (pneumatic actuator); Open/Closed or Proportional Control (positioner); Visual Indicator, Limit Switch, or Puck Sensor; and, NAMUR Pilot Valve.
Butterfly valves are available in wafer and lug styles, and DIN and ANSI compatible formats. Nominal diameters range from 1 to 12 inches (DN 25 to DN 300). Shut off materials include ductile cast iron with polyamide (PA) coating, stainless steel with PFA (perfluoroalkoxy alkane) coating, and stainless steel. Sealing element materials include EPDM, NBR, and PTFE with silicone.
This wide range of KVZA options enables users to specify a single family of butterfly valves for all their needs, which simplifies purchasing and maintenance.
