Extreme Rotary Valves

When Heavy Duty Isn’t Enough! 
Delta Ducon PERMA/flo Extreme Rotary Valve

Since 1964 the PERMA/flo “XT & XL” Extreme Rotary Valve has been considered the valve of choice by customers who demand long life, rugged durability, ease of maintenance and high quality. Though the basic footprint of the “XL” has remained unchanged since it’s inception, the “XT” series was designed in 2003 with enhancements that increased the throat size on the 6” through 12” models. The increased throat provides up to an additional 82% larger inlet than the previous design. This was achieved by increasing the number of pockets in the rotor from nine to ten. In turn, this allows the inlet shoe to widen, exposing a two pocket width in lieu of one. The extra width minimizes possible bridging, while increasing pocket fill efficiency.  Sizes 14” through 24” remain our traditional “XL” design. 

Features

Both the rotor and seal/wear shoe are constructed of a special chrome, nickel-iron alloy called P-33. This alloy yields a hardness of over 550 Brinell. Unlike other valves that feature a surface hardening, P-33 is a solid alloy casting that does not wear off to expose a softer metal base. 

Field Adjustable

Rotor and Wear Shoe can be adjusted quickly without removing valve from service.

A key feature of the Extreme Rotary Valve is the convenient field adjustment of the P-33 rotor to P-33 wear shoe clearances. This video guides you through the process of inspecting these clearances and demonstrates the precise procedure for adjusting them to meet factory settings on our 14" to 24" Type XL Extreme Rotary Valve. This ensures consistent, reliable performance and prolonged equipment life. Furthermore, additional resources illustrates that if your inspection determines the rotor and wear shoe have worn past the point of adjustment, they can be replaced on-site with minimal effort, allowing you to quickly get your operations back up and running.

6"-12" Type XT Extreme Rotary Valve Adjustment and Inspection

One of the most beneficial features of the Extreme Rotary Valve is the ability to adjust the P-33 rotor to the P-33 wear shoe clearances directly in the field. This video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to both inspect the clearances and make precise adjustments to restore them to factory specifications on our 6" to 12" Type XT Extreme Rotary Valve. This procedure helps maintain peak performance and extend the lifespan of your equipment. Should your inspection reveal that the rotor and wear shoe are worn beyond the point of adjustment, additional videos are available to demonstrates how easily these components can be replaced in the field, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
