Ball Valve - HEATING JACKET - STANDARD SEALS - MM DIN 11851 - 103027C | 4G Ghidini

Spherical Ball Valve with Heating Jacket 4G Ghidini 103027C

Two-way full bore ball valve with integrated heating jacket and DIN 11851 male/male connections. Designed for process lines where product temperature must be maintained within the valve zone to prevent viscosity increase, solidification, or crystallization during flow interruptions.

Heating Jacket

The jacket enables circulation of a heating medium around the valve body. Recommended for media such as fats, syrups, resins, chocolate, waxes, or chemicals requiring temperature maintenance. Does not replace thermal calculations for the process line; product temperature, residence time, and heat losses must be evaluated.

Sealing and Materials

Standard version includes PTFE seals on ball, sleeves, and stem, with FKM O-ring on the stem. On request: PTFE with glass (up to +170°C), PTFE with carbographite (up to +180°C), PTFE with stainless steel (up to +200°C), and UHMW polyethylene (up to +80°C).

Applications

Suitable for food, beverage, cosmetics, and chemicals compatible with selected body and sealing materials. For food contact, M.O.C.A. CE 1935/2004 compliance available. For explosive atmospheres, antistatic design per ATEX II 2G Ex h IIC T4 Gb / II 2D Ex h IIIC T135°C Db is optional.

FAQ

When is this selected over a standard DIN 11851 valve?
When product temperature directly affects flow or drainage.

Is automation possible?
Yes, via ISO 5211 / DIN 3337 for pneumatic or electric actuators.
