🔥 Enhance Your Process Control with Steam Jacketed Ball Valves

In industries where precision temperature control is critical—such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, petrochemicals, and specialty chemicals—temperature-sensitive media can cause major operational issues if not properly managed.

That’s where steam-jacketed valves come in.
Anson Flow’s AF‑S1J Series offers a robust, high-performance solution designed to maintain optimal temperatures, reduce process interruptions, and ensure smooth, uninterrupted flow.

🔍 What Is a Steam Jacketed Ball Valve?

A steam-jacketed ball valve is a standard ball valve encased in a welded outer shell (the jacket), which allows steam or other heating media to circulate around the valve body.

This design delivers:
✔️ Consistent internal temperature for flowing media
✔️ Prevention of crystallization, solidification, or viscosity changes
✔️ Reduced clogging, downtime, and product degradation

🧪 Expanded Applications: Where Jacketed Valves Excel

Steam-jacketed valves are critical in operations where temperature consistency makes or breaks the process. Common applications include:

·         ❄️ Winter Operations & Cold Startups
Prevents thickening of syrups, chocolate, waxes, or oils at low temperatures.

·         🧫 Polymer, Resin & Chemical Processing
Maintains fluidity in high-viscosity or reactive compounds.

·         💊 Pharmaceutical Sampling & Filling
Ensures stable conditions during sterile or heat-sensitive transfers.

·         🛢 Heavy Oil & Petroleum Transfer
Prevents gelling or crystallization in heavy hydrocarbon flows.

·         🍫 Food, Beverage & Cosmetics Production
Enables smooth handling of ingredients like butter, cream, honey, or lotions.

·         🌨 Cold Climate Production Lines
Avoids production halts caused by low ambient or pipe temperatures.

🔧 AF‑S1J Valve Features (Product-Based)

Engineered specifically for thermal-sensitive applications, the AF‑S1J jacketed ball valve offers:

·         📐 Size Range:
½″ to 6″

·         🛠 Pressure Ratings:
ANSI 150, PN16/40, JIS 10K

·         🧪 Seat Material:
PTFE — high chemical resistance with excellent sealing integrity

✔️ Key Performance Advantages

·         Temperature Maintenance
Keeps the valve body and media at a stable, controlled temperature—even in cold or fluctuating environments.

·         Crystallization Prevention
Ideal for preventing freezing or thickening of substances like polymers, resins, or sugars.

·         Efficient Heat Transfer
The steam jacket is welded directly to the valve body for superior heat transmission—far more effective than externally mounted jacket systems.
