Mucon

MUCON branded products are produced by Process Components Ltd (PCL). PCL manufactures and provides a broad portfolio of products and services ranging from the original and world-renowned MUCON Iris Diaphragm Valve (IDV) through to spare parts and consumables for all manner of food, pharmaceutical and chemical processing equipment.

For over 60 years the MUCON brand has been synonymous with producing high quality, dependable and easy to maintain process valves, discharge aids and level probes. PCL also offers an outstanding level of technical and customer service support to its large and diverse customer base.

MUCON Valves

The Iris Diaphragm Valve (IDV), provides a simple method of efficiently controlling the flow and isolation of bulk solids. Its extensive range includes the simple Series H bin discharge Iris valve, through to the easy clean hygienic Series K with its injection-moulded diaphragm used in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

· Mucon also boasts a range of swing Gate Disc Valves. The disc and the face to which it seals are angled to prevent the valve jamming in the closed position. The valve can be operated manually, by pneumatic or electric linear actuators.

· Butterfly Valves are grouped into two categories; ’Hygienic’ and ‘General Purpose’. The Mucon stainless steel Hygienic ranges offer light weight, compact, quick disconnection and easy clean attributes, while our General Purpose Butterfly valves provide a more conventional range, better able to cope with extreme environments and high pressures.

· The Mucon also includes a wide range of Slide Valves. These include bespoke square and rectangular as well as round outlets. Slide Valves and Roller Gate Valves can be manually, electrically or pneumatically actuated.

All valves can be supplied to ATEX

MUCON Discharge Aids
Flow promotion products complete the Mucon range. They include,
Ø The Promoflow Discharge Aid
Ø Turbine Vibrators

· The Promoflow Discharge Aids provide a retro-fit solution to bin or silo discharge problems. The Promoflow is virtually silent in operation and “only shakes the contents, not the bin”. It even comes in a Mini range for very small hoppers and cones.

· Turbine vibrators, when installed correctly, provide a tried and tested method for improved powder flow by vibrating the hopper.

Sifter Screens

Mesh screens and wedge wire baskets used in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors are available in;

· Nylon
· Polyester
· Anti-static nylon
· Woven wire screens in carbon or stainless steel.

PCL can offer aperture sizes from 10µm up to 5,000µm, in all manner of shapes and sizes to suit all the top sifter brands.
Sieving requirements are becoming ever more stringent, with ever-reducing mesh sizes being specified by end users; so it is vital that we are able to assist our customers by not only manufacturing their screens, but also helping them to predict the effect any change is likely to have on their sieving throughput rates.
Many customers have begun to move away from traditional mesh screens, migrating to wedge wire technology. The very robust welded mesh, manufactured from fine wedge-shaped strands, has a greatly increased life expectancy; and should it fail, the ferritic stainless-steel construction makes it attractive to magnets.
