Rotary valve CAE / CAD 30 and 40
Tech info CAD 30 – 40 modification
Unfortunately, we have had to modify the range of CAD/CAE rotary valves. The CAD30/40 and CAE 40 models use a gear drive, which our supplier has discontinued. The drive kit on these units is a combination of a gear drive and a belt drive.
Upon investigating new solutions for the CAD 30/40 and CAE 40, it has been found that using a geared motor as the drive unit for the rotary valves is more beneficial and economical. Among other advantages, a geared motor does not require attention for belt tightening.
To adapt to the installation of the geared motor, it is more advantageous to use the CA 40 rotary valve body as the basis for both the CAD 30 and CAD/CAE40 rotary valves. The new range of rotary valves will be named, for example, CAD 40G. A ‘G’ is added to the type description to indicate that it is the new version with a geared motor.
To reduce the total height of the rotary valve, a new bottom piece is introduced to lower the filling height, using the CA 40 rotary valve body.
The new versions of SUC 300/500EG, supplied with motors and control panels from KM, will come with an upgraded control panel. The new panels use 24VDC in the control circuit (the old panel used 24VAC). This means that the magnet closing the air regulator during startup on the SUC 500 is changed to 24VDC. The operation of the panel remains the same as the current versions…
