DCX3 diaphragm shut-off valve are used in a wide variety of process and ancillary fluid applications, designed for efficient cleaning. The aseptic bearing shut-off valve is fitted with a fluid (cleaning/rinsing) or vapor circulation bearing. This configuration allows for sterilizing the valve components in contact with the exterior before encountering the fluid process when handling the valve.
DCX3 diaphragm shut-off valve – Definox
Features
- Same features as standard DCX3 (floating seal, thick body, etc.)
- Fitted: with PTFE (PolyTetraFluorEthylene) diaphragm to ensure a physical barrier between the inside of the valve and the outside environment, and with microvalve to warn of a leak or possible seal damage
- The stroke on these valves is slightly shorter than on a standard DCX valve
The DCX3 aseptic bearing changeover valve is fitted with a fluid (cleaning/rinsing) or vapour circulation bearing.
– Dimensions: SMS – DIN – US; from DN25 (1″) to DN150 (6″)
– When closing the valve, the plug stem in contact with the medium is sterilised before penetrating inside the valve.
– Possibility of fitting the valve with a cooling bearing.
– Deformable PTFE diaphragm
- Surface are of diaphragm equivalent to that of the plug, helping to balance the pressure
- Alcohol barrier, optional.
Technical Advantages DCX3 diaphragm shut-off valve
Materials
- Half body: stainless steel 1.4404/316L

Replacing pfa seals DCX3 diaphragm shut-off valve
To change PFA seals, follow the guidelines given below:
• Remove the defective seal using a cutter taking care not to mark the bearing surface of the plug (protect the stainless steel surface using the edge of a steel rule or a plastic off-cut),
• Place the new seals in an oven at 140°C (+/- 3%) for 30 minutes. Do not exceed 200 °C. If the temperature is too low, there is a risk that the seal will deform or tear during installation.
Application of DCX3 diaphragm shut-off valve
With the above outstanding advantages, defines valves are very popular with investors in many fields such as:
– Food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic industries
– Animal feed processing industry,…
