United Conveyor Corp (UCC) has announced the release of the DEPAC® inlet valve as a replacement for the UCC Fläkt dust inlet valve. The UCC DEPAC inlet valve is for vessel isolation service in high-pressure pneumatic conveying of dry ash and other abrasives. The UCC DEPAC system is designed to convey large quantities of material over distances of 1600m while the automated control system maintains constant conveying air mass flow in the pipeline at low velocities, which helps prevent plugging while minimizing abrasion, maintenance, and power consumption. The valve is available with rotary vane or air cylinder actuators, and can be specified with a direct mount or a pre-piped standalone solenoid valve, in addition to roller lever type and proximity limit switches.
