Standard through heavy duty designs will be available providing safety, reliable performance and ease of maintenance,” he adds.

“The most popular EcoMAXX valve will feature an ATEX-certified flex tip rotor, suitable for explosive applications that include a combination of chips and/or fine dust. Our Vulcolan tip rotor lasts longer than rigid tip designs and requires less maintenance,” he adds.
