Concept

LKB is a sanitary automatically or manually operated butterfly valve for

use in stainless steel pipe systems.

Working principle

LKB is either remote-controlled by means of an actuator or manually

operated by means of a handle.

The actuator is made in three standard versions, normally closed (NC),

normally open (NO) and air/air activated (A/A).

The actuator is designed so that an axial movement of a piston is

transformed into a 90° rotation of a shaft. The torque of the actuator is

increased when the valve disc contacts the seal ring of the butterfly

valve.

The handle for manual operation mechanically locks the valve in its

open or closed position. The handles for the valve sizes DN125 and

DN150, which are designed for locking in two intermediate positions,

enable adjusting of the valve, so that the flow rate can be regulated.

Standard design 2.1

LKB is available in three versions, LKB for ISO tubes, LKB-2 for DIN

tubes and LKB-F for flange connection.

The valve consists of two valve body halves, valve disc, bushes for the

disc stem and seal ring. LKB-F also consists of two flanges and two

flange seal rings. The valve is assembled by means of screws and nuts.

Two actuator sizes, ø85 mm and ø133 mm, cover all valve sizes. The

actuator is available in two versions, LKLA and LKLA-T.

The actuator is fitted onto the valve by means of a bracket and screws.

(The actuator can also be fitted onto ball valves by means of special

brackets).

The handle for manual operation is fitted onto the valve by means of a

cap/block system and a screw.

The valve has welding ends as standard, but LKB and LKB-2 can also

be supplied with fittings.
