Horen OptiFlow™ Rollplug DN50

Rollplug DN50

The revolutionary full flow valve techs for IBC liners with hygienic intergrated disposal valves.

In contrast with the common cutter membrane discharge system , the hygienic liner-integrated valve operates as a simple but effective tap and offers simple, clean partial discharge, savings of time and cost in the cleaning of secondary valves and spillages; reduced risk of contamination;  reduced wastage of product. In addition, where there is a partial discharge of product, that may be followed by a significant period of storage, before a further discharge, that is a reduced risk of leakage.

Horen entered the IBC market by helping customers to develop a better valve to meet higher requirements from the market. Businesses needed more unique valves and looked to Horen as the innovator in the industry to develop affordable valves and fittings for IBC’s.

The OptiFlow™ range of valves was designed with such a background and it is the only portfolio of full flow hygienic liner-integrated valves for IBC products available in the world. Unlike the traditional butterfly valves, HOREN’s OptiFlow™ valve range provides a full unrestricted flow of product during discharge, providing a 33% improvement in flow rates and reduction in overall container discharge time.

New products are constantly being added to our portfolio many of which have been specifically designed to solve the unique handling needs of our clients. Should our existing range of products not fulfill your needs we would be happy to discuss a new potential solution.

WE HAVE SOLVED THE WEAKNESSES OF EXISTING VALVES

Working closely with our customers, the Horen engineering team develops fully capable manufacturing systems that meet and exceed customers’ quality and time-to-market objectives. The effective program management and close customer communications ensure that all expectations are met and a long-term, cost-effective manufacturing solution is achieved.

The OptiFlow™ range of discharge valves have been on our drawing board for nearly 3 years. We have taken the knowledge gained from finding the weaknesses of existing valves on the markets and used it to create our own patented cost effective ball valves. Some of these valve weaknesses are;

Low flow rates

Not useable for aseptic operations;

Heavy torque of valve handle;

Valves not resealing causing accidental product loss;

Tamper evident systems being difficult to operate.

OptiFlow™ FULL FLOW VALVE TECHS ACHIEVED THE MAXI-FLOW RATE

The flow rate of a conventional valve depends upon the degree of opening, the pressure, and the shape. We use unique full flow valve member shapes instead of the traditional butterfly valve to increase the flow rate.

OptiFlow™ ROPLUG DN50 VALVE STEAM CLEANABLE AND ASEPTIC

OptiFlow™ Roplug DN50 is a unique steam cleanable two inch valve. Our valve enables our customers to fill and discharge aseptic products in liquid liners. The Roplug DN50' structural design enables it to be cleaned with high temperature steam for prolonged periods. The patented ball valve structure design allows steam sterilization up to a temperature of 130
degrees Celsius(3 bar pressure for 30 minutes).

ONE-STEP TAMPER EVIDENCE

Horen has developed an innovation tamper evidence solution for Roplug DN50 which is attached directly to the valve lid. The system is easy to operate and provides a high level of security. Our simple valve locking clip ensures that the valves have not been opened and therefore protects your valuable product during transportation . You can customize the
colours of the tamper evident ring and also print unique identification codes on each individual tamper evident ring.

UNIQUE ROPLUG SEALING SYSTEM

OptiFlow™ Roplug DN50 has a retained gasket system which improves the efficiency of the seal function. An Innovative ball driving system reduces the heavy torque and allows the ball to be
easily maneuvered. A unique patented design enables the ball to engage with, and then release from, the valve seal without friction. This makes the valve easy to operate, maintains the integrity of the seal, and can be operated over 300 times.

MORE THAN 10 PATENTS PENDING WORLDWIDE. TARGETING THE WORLD'S TOP 500 FOOD & COSMETIC COMPANIES

1. Unique innovative driving system allows the valve to be easily opened and closed using low torque. When closed the ball valve member is drive into place to press against the contoured gasket for better sealing.

2. LLDPE Gland is welded directly to liner. A special gasket ensures good connection between the gland and valve without leaking rish.

3. Rollplug DN50 can be easily installed and uninstalled with IBCs.

4. The Screw cap locks the handle in place avoiding accidental opening of the valve and loss of product.

5. Double gaskets on Handle and ball in pin ensures anti-leak function.

6. No obstacles in the valve channel maximize flow rate

7. All material EU and FDA approved.

8. TE Rings are pre-fitted with unique TE numbers which increase security and protection from unanthorized use.
