Asahi/America Introduces New Electric Actuator (20211115)

Asahi/America, Inc., the leader in thermoplastic fluid flow technology, is pleased to introduce the Series 19 electric actuator: offered in both smart and basic options. Compact and lightweight, the Series 19 is available in four operating configurations: on/off, modulating, failsafe, and modulating failsafe; and three sizes to meet valve torque requirements. The multi-voltage general purpose unit operates at a 75 percent duty cycle for more frequent cycling of the valve. Compatible with most PLCs, the Series 19 is an ideal choice for OEMs and skid manufacturers where space is at a premium, but power cannot be sacrificed.

All Asahi/America Series 19 electric actuators come standard with multi-voltage capability, a visual position indicator; an LED light to indicate valve position or fault; auxiliary contacts; and a QR code for easy and instant access to user manuals. The Series 19 also features a corrosion resistant NEMA 4X engineered resin enclosure with stainless steel trim to protect the unit’s reversing, brushless DC motor and permanently lubricated steel gear train.

The smart Series 19 SAV Smart Pack^® is controlled by firmware and is available in three sizes as an on/off, failsafe, modulating, or modulating failsafe unit. The SAV Smart Pack^®mounts on Asahi/America Type-21/21a SST ball valves, Type 23 Multiport^® ball valves, and Type-57 series butterfly valves; it comes standard with push buttons for actuator calibration and local control, an OLED screen and fault contacts.

The basic Series 19 CAV Com Pack^® is a mechanical-type actuator available as an on/off unit. The CAV Com Pack^® mounts on Asahi/America’s Type-27 Omni^®ball valve to provide smooth operation in a compact and lightweight package. The Com Pack^® Series 19 fits Omni ball valve sizes 3/8” to 2” and has a cycle time of 10 seconds per 90 degrees.

All Series 19 actuators are CE labeled and compliant, and factory mounted and tested to ensure dependable operation.

Purad® Ultra High Purity PVDF Piping System

Purad® UHP PVDF is the premier product for high purity water systems. The SOLEF™ PVDF resin we carefully selected and our stringent clean room manufacturing process provides the cleanest piping material available. Purad® is the best choice for systems with critical requirements for water quality and the prevention of product manufacturing impacts. Purad® is the only system with a complete range of fittings in the thin wall SDR33 (150psi) for 3” and 4” (90mm and 110mm) sizes. This option provides a significant cost savings for Asahi/America customers.

At the core of the Purad® system is its resin. Purad® is a high purity system employing a consistent single resin for all of its pipe, fittings, valves and raw material. Utilizing only high purity grades of Solvay Polymer’s SOLEF™ 1000 series resins, Purad® provides unmatched quality and low leachouts. Absolutely no stabilizers, additives or processing agents are used during production.

Purad® pipe, fittings and valves are extruded and molded and under ISO Class V (Class 100) conditions in AGRU’s cutting edge Plant 5. The fittings are cleaned in an automated bath system. Fittings and valves are double bagged in anti-static and anti-tear bags. The pipe receives three layers of purity protection consisting of end sleeves and caps, full bagging, and an outer PE tube. The outer PE tube protects from shipping damage and may be wiped clean for storage in clean areas. Pipe sizes 20 - 32mm (1/2” - 1”) are bagged in multiple lengths per bag.

Double Contained Thermoplastic Piping Systems

Asahi/America has been providing double containment piping systems to meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for over 25 years. As the innovator and patent holder of many double containment specialty devices, Asahi/America is best equipped to help engineers and designers fabricate and install double containment piping systems.

Our systems are engineered to protect our eco-system from the dangers of exposed aggressive chemicals. Additionally, the EPA has directed the underground transport of hazardous materials be protected from release into the environment in its Standard 40 CFR, Part 280 & 281. In order to be in compliance, systems must:

Double containment should be specified for more applications than regulated by the EPA. Hazardous chemicals should be protected from escape in areas where there are chemicals transported above work stations, or any other potential safety hazards due to exposure to the media.

Asahi/America has been the industry leader in engineered thermoplastic double contained piping systems for decades. Our systems have been successfully installed with confidence across a broad range of industries. Ranging in sizes from 1x2 to 16x20 and above, choosing Asahi/America provides maximum flexibility in system engineering and design. For the varying requirements of double containment, Asahi/America provides a variety of piping system options.
