features
>> Low maintenance costs >> Excellent control characteristics
> Long maintenance interval because of: - high degree of control accuracy ( 1%)
- minimal friction - low lock-up pressure ( 2,5%)
- minimal number of parts - fast response

> Easy to assemble / disassemble: because of:

- regulator body remains in line during maintenance - voluminous actuator
- seat ring is easy to inspect - large diaphragm area
- minimal hysteresis
> The use of economical materials
- low set point deviation due to a two-stage pilot
>> Optimal noise reduction - balanced design
Using patented techniques and a noise-reducing cage, the

has a noise reduction effect that is virtually independent of
the flow rate. Moreover, noise reduction increases as the
difference in pressure across the regulator increases.
