BALL VALVE • SYSTEM OVERVIEW
KSV The CeraValve type KSV is a ceramic lined ball valve for
On / Off function as well as for Throttling Control applications for
corrosive media with abrasive solids content. It is an alternative
to PTFE/PFA lined valves in the event that their performance limits
(pressure, temperature, wear) are exceeded.
The upstream and downstream seats are fixed and the ball has a
defined clearance. The ball is seated against the downstream seat
by the differential pressure of the fluid through the valve.
KST The CeraValve type KST is a ceramic lined ball valve for the
On / Off and Throttling Applications for highly abrasive and corrosive
media. Valve bodies can be produced from various materials (e.g.
stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, PVDF). Special configurations for
low/high temperatures, TA-Luft low emission, and similar concerns
can be supplied. High strength zirconia ceramics is used for the valve
ball which seals against wear resistant alumina ceramic seats. The
floating valve ball seals against the downstream seat by means of
differential pressure.
KAT The CeraValve type KAT is a ceramic lined ball valve for the
Open / Close function and the control tasks for excessive abrasive
and corrosive media. It can be produced in all customary housing
materials (e.g. stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, Monel). Fur-
thermore, special requirements (low / high working temperatures,
TA-Luft [German Clean Air Act] and similar matters) can be taken
into consideration. The upstream seat is resilient. As a result, the ball
has no clearance and always seals. Applications with low differential
pressure and / or slow pressure build-up can be solved in this manner.
4 KZT The CeraValve type KZT is a ceramic lined ball valve for the
Open / Close function and the control tasks for excessive abrasive and
corrosive media. It can be produced in all customary housing materials
(e.g. stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, Monel). Furthermore, special
requirements (low / high working temperatures, TA-Luft [German Clean
Air Act] and similar matters) can be taken into consideration. Higher
pressure differentials are possible due to the trunnion mounted ball.
The seats are cushioned. The valve can be pressurised from both sides.
DESIGN:
Wear, corrosion and high-temperature resistant design
Three-part construction, therefore providing optimum adaptation to the operating
conditions

KGT The CeraValve type KGT is a ceramic lined ball valve for the
Open / Close function and the control tasks for excessive abrasive
and corrosive media. It can be produced in all customary housing
materials (e.g. stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, Monel). Further-
more, special requirements (low / high working temperatures, TA-Luft
and similar matters) can be taken into consideration. Higher pressure
differentials are possible due to the trunnion mounted ball. The valve
only seals on one side. A ˝ dead space˝ is avoided as a result. There-
fore, the ball valve is particularly suitable for pneumatic transport.

CERAMIC COMPONENTS
Cera System develops and produces customer-specific ceramic preci-
sion components in small batch sizes through to series production for
the most diverse areas of application. Focal points are sealing and
control discs for air conditioning, sanitary fittings as well as many
other applications. Ceramic components for the sensor, food engineer-
ing and building services sectors round off our portfolio.

PIPE WEAR PROTECTION
Cera System offers wear resistant pipe elbows, Y and T
parts as well as other shaped pieces. The most diverse
of ceramics are used. The ceramic is solid (wall thick-
ness approx. 6˘mm (¼˝ ) ). All solutions are nominal
size conformant, they can be assembled problem-free
without having to adjust the pipelines. The clear width
corresponds to the flange connection. Our speciality:
the ceramic pipe elbows are actually curved (no ap-
position of straight sections).
CERAMIC HOSES
Cera System supplies wear resistant flexible solutions.
Ceramic hoses manufactured by Cera System can be
used everywhere where hoses regularly wear and must
be replaced. The hose consists of ceramic rings that
are vulcanised together with special reinforced rub-
ber materials. Pressures of up to 10 bar / 145 psi are
permitted.
