Big Cap™ Valves
Do you have problems with using ball valves as capping Valves for feeding the digester? We found the solution for you developing a O-port capping valve the BIG CAP™.
For the full automation of the filling of your digesters you can now use BIG CAP™ instead of manually installed blanks.
One of our customers has struggled for about 10 years using ball valves as capping valves. This customer is now using a SVC BIG CAP™ capping valve and is very satisfied with it.
The capping valve is a 400 mm valve used in a system, which is running at 450 PSI pressure and 450 deg F. Using wood chips the lignin is melted and in the solidification binds sludge in the production of pellets.

The BIG CAP™ valves have very short takeout dimensions . The installation requires only a minimum of changes to your conveyer system and your building. You can install a BIG CAP™ without raising the roof of your facilities.
The BIG CAP™ allows you also to have applications for special needs, like pressure switches, automatic locking devices, face to face dimensions, etc.
The BIG CAP™ also solves your problems with overfilling a digester. It can handle the overfilling without damaging the seat by moving the chips into the valve body - pressure free – and bringing them back for the next filling cycle.
Please contact us and tell us your needs for capping valves and get more information about the BIG CAP™.
