DALE Valves

ROSS Controls Introduces Expanded Dale CX Series Valves

ROSS Controls has expanded its Dale CX Series Valves with the addition of a new ¼” port size.  In addition to a smaller footprint, the ¼” valve is capable of handling up to 250 psi (17.2 bar).

All CX valve sizes, including the new ¼”, are available as individual valves or combined in manifolds to eliminate piping, allow bi-directional flow, are port pressure independent, and include a poppet design that provides high dirt tolerance.Dale CX Series

New Dale Series Valves Bulletin Available

Dale Valve Bulletin

An updated version of our Dale Series Valves Bulletin 200 is now available upon request or as a download from the literature page of our website. The updated bulletin’s highlights include a ¼” size with higher pressure capabilities (up to 250 psi / 17.2 bar).  This new valve is also available in a 3 valve manifold arrangement designed for Leak Tight Applications.  In addition, the original LT Series 3 valve manifold used for Leak Tight Applications is now available with metric port threads.

All Dale Series Valves, including the new ¼”, are available as individual valves or combined in manifolds to eliminate piping, allow bi-directional flow, are port pressure independent, and include a poppet design that provides high dirt tolerance.

Increase Vacuum Packing Machine Speed with Dale Valve Solutions

Vacuum packaging is a process where a product is placed in a bag or sandwiched in-between two sheets of plastic, a vacuum is applied to remove atmospheric air and then the product is sealed. In an effort to increase machine speed, valve port sizes generally range from 1” to 2-1/2”.

 

Vacuum Pack 1

 

Our customers have had great success using Dale Series valves in their vacuum packaging applications. A leading OEM tested the Dale series and reported:
Vacuum Pack 2

“The valve reduced the time to evacuate the sealing die in a head to head test with our current valve. The power consumed by the vacuum pump was also reduced 6% at 10 cpm.”

Reduce Thermoforming Cycle Time with Dale Valve Solutions

Thermoforming 1

Thermoforming is a process where a thin sheet of plastic enters the machine mold and forms thin walled products by vacuum being pulled on the mold. These machines produce high volume, low margin products, and machine speed is the difference between profit and loss.

The Dale Valve Solution from ROSS Controls

  • Compact Manifold Design- eliminating piping allows mounting closer to the mold
  • Reduced Cycle Time- Less piping = less volume to evacuate = speed = profit
  • High Flow- CP series 2-1/2” with a Cv of 100 = massive speed = massive profit
  • Fast Consistent Shifting- Dual piston design eliminates springs and provides smooth, fast shifting
  • Energy Savings- The Dale Valve Solution is Green!Thermoforming 2
    • Reduced piping eliminates system volume which reduces vacuum pump and compressor drain
    • True 2/2 Dale design with no “open crossover” reduces vacuum pump and compressor drain
  • Reduced Downtime- Poppet cartridge design allows rebuilds to be completed in minutes

Reduce Leak Testing Cycle Time with Dale Valve Solutions

Practically every pressure-containing vessel is leak tested during production or assembly. There are generally three types of leak test methods: pressure or vacuum decay, flow tests, and helium tests.

You might ask, “Why are the valves used in testing so important?” Essentially, if the valves being used to control the test themselves are leaking, you won’t be able to tell if the product under test is leaking.

Reduce Tray Pack Process Time with Dale Valve Solutions

Tray Pack 1

Tray packing is a modified atmospheric packaging process where a product is placed in a tray, a vacuum is pulled to remove atmospheric air, inert gas is injected, and the tray is sealed. The process helps to extend shelf-life, enhance color, and eliminate crushing.
