The Type 2975 manually operated diaphragm valve consists of a manually operated actuator, a diaphragm and a tank bottom valve body. The manual actuator with plastic handwheel ensures use in hygienic or aggressive ambient conditions. The flow-optimised valve body with minimum dead space enables high flow values and a wide range of possible applications. The valve body and the diaphragms are available in all common materials and variants. The actuator has a compact, autoclavable design and is compatible with all other Bürkert diaphragm valves. An explosion-proof ATEX/IECEx device variant is available. The manual actuator possesses a visual position indicator with reproducible stroke scale. The actuator also possesses an adjustable minimum and maximum stroke limitation and/or locking. The manual actuator can be optionally equipped with sensors for position feedback.
