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.
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
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.
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
· 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.
Anson Flow doesn’t stop at the AF‑S1J.
We offer custom steam-jacketing options across a wide range of valve types.
