Crane ChemPharma & Energy Highlights Saunders® Revolutionary I-VUE Smart Valve Sensor at Interphex 2014
For more than 75 years, Saunders brand diaphragm valves from Crane ChemPharma & Energy have delivered solutions to demanding process applications in the life sciences industry. As the inventor of the diaphragm valve, Saunders has been central to the evolution of high-purity valve technology and will bring this unparalleled level of expertise to the 2014 Interphex conference and expo.
In addition to featuring their extensive line of aseptic diaphragm valves and stainless steel actuators, Saunders representatives will attend Interphex to showcase the groundbreaking I-VUE Smart Valve Sensor and explain the impact that it has had on the market since its release in early 2013.
Designed specifically for aseptic diaphragm valve applications in the life sciences industry, the Saunders I-VUE is the first completely contactless valve sensor. Unlike traditional sensors with multiple components in constant contact, the I-VUE eliminates concern over failure caused by wearing parts and has resolved many of the problems inherent with other switch technologies with unique features like:
• Intelligent diagnostics and accurate alarms to prevent nuisance trips
• Total valve cycle count and cycle count until next maintenance interval
• Tolerance settings to overcome variability in operating conditions
• Accuracy to 0.2 mm
• Sensor calibration within 20 seconds, locally or from the DCS control system
• One size accommodates ½” to 6” valves
Since P K Saunders invented the original diaphragm valve in 1928, Saunders has set the standard in valve technology. Simplicity of design coupled with a history of cutting-edge innovation has enabled Saunders to accommodate a wider range of fluids than any other valve type. With highly-engineered valve solutions and the industry’s most innovative sensor technology, Saunders continues to prove the superior value of The Science Inside.
