One inlet, two outlets: tank 1 or tank 2, filler A or filler B, product line or return loop. One valve and one 90\u00b0 turn does what two shut-off valves and a tee would do, with fewer fittings and one movement instead of two.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combining two feed streams into one line<\/strong> (T-port). Two ingredient lines meeting before a mixing tank or a common header, blended in the pipe instead of merged by hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bypass for maintenance<\/strong> (L-port). Route the line around a section that has to come out for service, then switch it back, without shutting the whole run down and without a second operator remembering to close a second valve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sampling point on a process line<\/strong>. The third port takes product to a sample outlet while the main run keeps going.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Product changeover on viscous or crystallising lines<\/strong> (L-port, fully encapsulated seat). Chocolate, syrups, sauces and concentrates collect in the space around a standard ball and dry or crystallise there. Filling that space is what makes changeover on these products manageable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n<h3>What is a sanitary 3 way ball valve?<\/h3>\n<p>A three-port ball valve in polished 316 stainless with Tri-Clamp ends, built so it can be taken off the line and opened for cleaning. The ball is drilled either L-shaped, to send one inlet to one of two outlets, or T-shaped, to feed two ports at once. It does the work of a tee plus two shut-off valves, with fewer fittings to install and one handle to turn instead of two.<\/p>\n<h3>Puerto en L o puerto en T: \u00bfcu\u00e1l necesito?<\/h3>\n<p>El puerto en L desv\u00eda: env\u00eda la entrada a una salida u otra. El puerto en T mezcla o distribuye: puede alimentar dos puertos a la vez. Si quieres conmutar una l\u00ednea entre dos destinos, necesitas una v\u00e1lvula de puerto en L. Si quieres combinar dos flujos, o dividir uno en dos al mismo tiempo, necesitas una v\u00e1lvula de puerto en T. Descr\u00edbenos qu\u00e9 tiene que hacer la v\u00e1lvula y te diremos cu\u00e1l es la adecuada.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la temperatura m\u00e1xima?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the seat. The fully encapsulated seat runs \u221220 \u00b0C to +80 \u00b0C. The semi-encapsulated seat runs \u221220 \u00b0C to +180 \u00b0C. Tell us the temperature of your line and we will fit the right one.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfQu\u00e9 asiento deber\u00eda elegir?<\/h3>\n<p>Fully encapsulated if product must not sit in a crevice: the PTFE fills the space around the ball, so the bore stays smooth. Semi-encapsulated if the line runs above 80 \u00b0C. It is a genuine trade-off between temperature and dead space, and we will help you pick.<\/p>\n<h3>I need this valve automated \u2014 what do you offer?<\/h3>\n<p>Buy the <a href=\"https:\/\/ballvalves.tw\/es\/producto\/valvula-de-bola-de-3-vias-neumatica-sanitaria\/\">V\u00e1lvula de bola neum\u00e1tica sanitaria de tres v\u00edas<\/a>.
