In the fields of industrial production and water treatment, the precise operation of dosing devices is directly related to process stability and cost control. The IoT mini electric actuator equipped with plastic ball valves, launched by GRAT, has become an ideal control component for dosing devices due to its compact size, outstanding performance, and adaptability, providing efficient and reliable solutions for various dosing scenarios.
Core Product: Technical Breakthrough of the IoT Mini Electric Actuator
The GRAT IoT mini electric actuator is an innovative product specifically developed for small fluid control scenarios, and its technical advantages can be clearly presented in the following four aspects:
Structural Design: Extreme Miniaturization, Suitable for Confined Spaces
The actuator’s volume is only 1/3 of that of traditional actuators, weighing less than 500 grams, with a compact integrated structure design. This lightweight and small size characteristic allows it to easily fit into narrow spaces inside dosing devices, making it especially suitable for the layout of miniaturized and integrated dosing equipment.
Performance: High Precision, Strong Protection, Stable Response to Complex Environments
Control Precision: Equipped with high-performance brushless motors, the control precision can reach 0.5%, allowing for precise adjustment of the ball valve opening and closing angles, thus achieving fine control of the chemical flow, meeting the stringent dosage requirements during dosing processes. It can also maintain long-term stable operation in common humid, dusty, or slightly corrosive environments in dosing devices.
Material Selection: Corrosion and Abrasion Resistant, Ensuring Fluid Purity
The accompanying plastic ball valves are made from high-strength PP or PVDF materials, both of which possess excellent chemical corrosion resistance and can withstand long-term erosion from various commonly used chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and saline solutions. Additionally, the smooth interior wall design helps reduce chemical residue, ensuring the purity of fluid transport and preventing secondary pollution.
Installation Compatibility: Plug and Play, Enhancing Assembly Efficiency
The actuator and the ball valve adopt an integrated prefabricated design, with precise adjustments completed before leaving the factory, eliminating the need for additional on-site adaptation or complex calibration. During installation, it only requires a simple connection to the pipeline and control system to be put into use quickly, significantly shortening the assembly cycle of dosing devices and reducing labor costs.
Precise Application Scenarios in Dosing Devices
The core requirement of dosing devices is to accurately and proportionately feed chemicals in a “timed and measured” manner. The GRAT IoT mini electric ball valve plays a crucial role in various stages due to its characteristics:
Chemical Metering Stage: Stable Flow Control
Between the dosing pump and pipeline in the dosing device, the IoT mini electric ball valve can serve as a flow regulating valve, adjusting the opening in real-time based on feedback from sensors regarding water quality or process parameters.
Multi-Chemical Switching: Quick Response with No Residue
For scenarios where multiple chemicals, such as acidic and basic agents, are alternately dosed, the flow of the previous chemical is gradually decreased to zero before the flow of the next one is increased to the set value, thereby avoiding instantaneous mixing. Furthermore, the smooth inner surface of the ball valve ensures that the chemical residue is below 0.1%, further reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Pipeline Control: Remote Automated Operation
In scenarios requiring scheduled dosing (such as regular disinfection of cooling water systems), the IoT mini electric ball valve can be controlled remotely to automatically open and close. This allows staff to operate without being on-site; they simply need to preset the dosing time and duration in the central control system, and the actuator will drive the ball valve to open or close on time, precisely executing the dosing plan. This feature is particularly suitable for unattended small dosing devices, reducing labor costs and minimizing human operation errors.
Conclusion: Infusing “Precision and Efficiency” into Dosing Devices
The GRAT IoT mini electric actuator, equipped with a plastic ball valve, perfectly meets the various control needs of dosing devices with its core advantages of “small size, high precision, strong corrosion resistance, and ease of integration.” From fine adjustment of chemical flow to safe switching between multiple chemicals, from remote automated operations to emergency responses in unexpected situations, it not only simplifies the dosing process but also enhances the stability and economic efficiency of the system.
