Tri-Clamp & Cherry Burrell I-Line 2 Thru 5 Way Rotor Valves

For over thirty years many processing industries have enjoyed the trouble free operation of the Quality Controls Rotor Valve. These industries include; Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Petrochemical, Refining, Paper, Paint and a variety of Original Equipment Manufactures to name a few. The rotor valve's unique combination of design features set it aside from all other types of rotary valves.

These unique features include:

Multi-Port Selection

Four flow types are available, with a wide variety of flow pattern combinations. Refer to the QCI Valve Flow Pattern Combinations chart on the adjacent page fro flow types and combinations available.

One Piece Rotor and Stem

The one piece construction eliminates a source of wear and repair common to the typical ball valve design. Eliminates stem leakage problems.

Cavity Free

The independent Leaf Seal design eliminates the large cavities common to the typical ball valve. The Leaf Seal design also eliminates the need for cavity fillers, which still create stagnant seams for product to get into.

Maintenance Free

The wiping/agitation action generated by the rotation of the leaf seals, along with the rotor, breaks up material and wipes it free. The independent leaf seal design also eliminates the need for lubrication. No adjustments...No maintenance.

Top Entry

The ability to remove all internal parts through the top of the valve eliminates removal of the valve from the pipeline, should service be required.

Transitional Flow

The QCI rotor valve design allows for transitional flow to occur when changing valve positions. Transitional flow eliminates dead heading problems associated with positive displacement pumps. For minimal transitional flow designs, consult factory.

High Flow

The majority of the QCI rotor valves are full-port, with only a few sizes or types having a minimum port reduction. The maximization of port diameter reduces the pressure drop across the valve, thru increasing flow. Consult the dimensional information contained in the following pages for actual port diameter of the valve and rotor type that best suits the application.

Sanitary Connections

The Tri-Clamp and Cherry Burrell I-Line Fittings are quick-couple fittings for sanitary systems. This type of fitting provides a fast, efficient removal of the valve for cleaning. Other benefits include; non-contaminating environment, self aligning - minimizes turbulence, compart, and readily adaptable to other types of piping. The benefits of the quick-couple sanitary fittings, offer an ideal application when combined with the features of the QCI Rotor Valve.
