Drilling Mud Knife Gate Valve from Orbinox UK…This particular ORBINOX ‘EX’ series Drilling Mud Knife Gate Valve is destined for use on an off-shore drilling mud application. On this occasion, the specification called for a double acting pneumatic actuator c/w our proprietary PneuLINK™ linear-to-rotary integrated control platform. Our 316 stainless steel intrinsically safe Valve Control Monitor solution was selected, incorporating 2-off NAMUR inductive proximity sensors and a mono-stable solenoid valve. The latter includes a manual override facility with detent functionality, allowing the technicians to open / close the valve-actuator assembly in the absence of the solenoids supply voltage, a great feature to assist with system commissioning off-shore.
