AKMK provides high-quality iris diaphragm valves specifically designed for the controlled discharge of fragile bulk solids and powders. Unlike traditional valves, the unique iris-type adjustment mimics the operation of a camera lens, providing a concentric opening that allows for infinite and fine control of medium flow.
AKMK's stainless steel iris valves are engineered for durability and hygiene, making them the ideal solution for unloading bulk material bags (FIBC) and managing precise conveying needs in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
The iris-type adjustment design allows fine control of medium flow, meeting the precise conveying needs of different working conditions.
Gentle Material Handling: The soft diaphragm design ensures that even the most sensitive or friable materials (like granules or tablets) are not crushed during the closing process.
Versatile Diaphragm Materials: Customize your valve with a range of diaphragm options, including nylon, polyester, silicone, and PTFE, to match your material’s chemical and abrasive properties.
Hygienic and Robust: Featuring a stainless steel iris valve body, our products like the KD Iris Diaphragm Valve are specifically designed to meet the strict hygiene standards of the Dairy and Food Industry.
Bag Unloading Specialists: Our IR and AD Iris Diaphragm Valves provide a dust-tight seal around the neck of bulk bags, preventing material loss and environmental contamination during discharge.
Are AKMK iris valves suitable for big bag (FIBC) unloading?
Yes. Our AD and IR Single Diaphragm iris valves are specifically designed for unloading bulk material bags. They provide a secure, concentric grip on the bag neck to control flow and minimize dust.
How do I maintain the diaphragm for a long service life?
Regularly inspect the diaphragm for wear or tears caused by abrasive materials. Because we use high-quality materials, our diaphragms are easy to replace, ensuring your iris diaphragm valve continues to operate with precision.
What materials can be handled with an iris valve?
Iris valves are perfect for free-flowing powders and granular materials. They are particularly effective as an iris valve for pharmaceutical or food-grade powders where gentle handling and hygiene are critical.
How do I choose the right diaphragm material?
Material selection depends on the application. Nylon and polyester are great for general bulk unloading, while silicone and PTFE are preferred for high-temperature or food-safe applications requiring FDA compliance.
Can iris valves handle high-pressure systems?
No, iris valves are primarily designed for gravity flow and low-pressure applications. They excel at regulating the flow of material from silos, hoppers, or bags rather than acting as a high-pressure seal.
