Complementing the Iris Diaphragm Valve, the Mucon Disc Valve is a radially pivoting isolation valve suitable for applications involving temperature and pressure.

Unlike many conventional slide valves, the Disc Valve does not jam or leak, due to its unique angled seat and floating disc arrangement. There are five bore sizes available with three main construction materials; aluminium, cast iron and stainless steel. Pneumatic and hand operated versions are available.

Customers have reported Disc Valves completing many thousands of operations before any attention is required.

Born out of a specification for a valve, which encompassed all the advantages found in slide and butterfly valves, but with none of the inherent disadvantages.
A radially pivoted arm supports a free floating disc. The arm allows the disc to swing in an arc towards an angled seating face. The angled face ensures the disc only makes contact at the last moment causing a mild wedging action.

Options include: -

• Three materials of construction including aluminium alloy, cast iron and stainless steel (stainless steel not available in ø300mm bore).
• A variety of seal materials to suit the most arduous process or cleandown regimes.
• A variety of shaft bearing materials.
• Various coatings are also available for extreme applications.

Disc Valves - Type 2
The Second Generation Disc Valve is an advanced version, which allows the removal of the internal moving parts while the valve body remains in-situ. The inlet liner is separate and does not even have to be made from the same material as the valve body.
