RAF Hydraulic Control Valve

RAF-M – High Performance Diaphragm

Hydraulic Control Valve for Mining.

Only three main valve parts: body,

cover and diaphragm.

Patented self-contained reinforced

“springless” diaphragm design,
eliminates the need for a retaining
spring inside the valve and
guarantees uniform pressure
distribution on sealing area
preventing diaphragm deformation
and ensuring long time maintenance
free service.

No metal moving parts - virtually

maintenance free valve.
Lowest cost of ownership.

Smooth valve operation and unique

diaphragm shape allow stable
control at a wide flow rates, low
noise operation and reduced water
hammer.

Drip tight shut-off. Patented Hydraulic Control Valve designed for mining applications. Actuated
without additional power source by the line pressure or alternatively by
Extremely high cycling capability. separated hydraulic water pressure or compressed air.

Can be actuated without additional

power source by the line pressure
or alternatively by separated
hydraulic water pressure or
compressed air.
High flow capacity and non clogging
design.

“RAF” valve with rubber diaphragm A valve with rubber diaphragm

and sides which function as a spring. and metal spring.

RAF is a state of the art hydraulic valve designed with a patented reinforced diaphragm which eliminates
the need for a retaining metal spring, spring guide, support washers etc.
Line pressure works equally on the whole diaphragm area, preventing diaphragm deformation and allowing
most smooth, gradual operation and precise opening. Robust reinforced diaphragm designed for high cycling
and most demanding applications. Due to its construction simplicity RAF valve is almost maintenance free.
A diaphragm is easily field replaceable without dismantling the valve body from a pipeline.

(N.O)
[2]
RAF-31 Electric On/Off Valve.
This valve is a hydraulic “on-off” control valve that can be
operated manually or by electric remote control. The valve can
be “normally closed” (NC) or “normally open” (NO), as required.
[1] “Normally” means the state of the valve when the solenoid is
de-energized.

RAF-60 Pressure Reducing Valve.

This pressure-reducing valve is an automatic control valve
designed to reduce a higher upstream pressure into a preset
[3] [2] [2] lower downstream pressure, and to maintain this pressure
[1] constantly regardless of flow-rate or upstream pressure
fluctuations

RAF-80 Pressure Sustaining Valve.

[2]
This pressure-sustaining valve is an automatic control valve
designed to sustain a minimum upstream pressure as determined
[3]
by the operator and relieve excess pressure to the downstream
[1] system (or to the atmosphere if required).
