"Exhausting" High Cycle, Fast Open/Close Foundry Applcation

High cycle foundry application

An iron foundry located in the Midwest USA has a valve application with extreme requirements. The atmosphere is scorching and dusty, and the valve and actuator combination has to cycle at a very high rate. 

There two most considerable challenges are:

  1. Finding a valve actuator that can stand up to 100,000 actuator cycles per month (around 1.3 million cycles per year) and operate for more than a year.
  2. The actuators have to cycle open and closed in a fraction of a second.

Solution

  1. Due to their reputation for extreme durability, Kinetrol actuators are specified.  They are known worldwide to perform flawlessly where cycle rates are high. 
  2. High flow solenoid valves manage the high volume of fill and exhaust air to handle the rapid cycling.

As of the last check, the Kinetrol actuators are operating without problem for more than two years.
