Foot valves with pressure up to 16 bar for non-return protection for pumps

Check valves AS

Foot valves with pressure up to 16 bar for non-return protection for pumps. Also available as multi-cone valve with flanges for pipe inside diameters from DN150 to DN 1000.

Our technical features of the foot valves

The foot valves of Lasso Technik AG are equipped with a membrane to prevent the back flow of liquids and gases. When the membrane is closed, the noise level is low and water hammer is avoided. The valve guarantees a safe closure even in the case of granular liquids (sandy water). In addition, our foot valves act as raw filters to protect pumps and systems. We guarantee a long product life due to the absence of mechanical or electronic moving parts subject to wear and tear.

Efficient production of coldness with minimal pressure loss

Producing coldness with river water is efficient and economical.

Large quantities of river water must flow through the heat exchanger. Due to these large volumes, it is important to keep the system pressure loss to a minimum in order to maintain high efficiency. The layout of the system and the selection of its various components are an important element when low resistance is required. The Stop Silent® multi-cone valve has been designed according to these flows in order to be best adapted to them.

Installation examples of multi-plug valves

The membrane is fixed in the perforated support cone and its sealing lip rests on the inner surface of the cone. As the pressure increases, the membrane deforms and allows the fluid to flow. When the pressure drops, the diaphragm returns to its initial position and closes the valve.
