Armour Valve Solutions for Steel Making

Blog

Armour Valve is proud to be a trusted source for specialty valves and process equipment for critical and severe service applications in many industries. We work hard to provide our customers with durable products that will reduce their operating costs, increase the longevity of their equipment, and improve the safety conditions of their workplaces. Armour Valve offers the SchuF Fetterolf Cam-Set®, Cam-Slide®, Cam-Goggle®, and Stacey™ Line Blinds for steel making, as well as Somas butterfly and ball segment valves, and HORA steam conditioning valves to regulate steam.

SchuF Fetterolf’s Range of Line Blinding Solutions

Armour Valve carries SchuF Fetterolf’s full range of line blinding solutions for critical safety applications in Canada. The Cam-Set®, Cam-Slide®, Cam-Goggle®, and Stacey™ do not require the use of a blind flange to blank off piping, thus eliminating the need to unbolt a flanged part of the pipe, insert a blank, and re-bolt. These solutions allow for one-person operation. In sizes above 10”, one-person operation of the Cam-Set and Stacey blinds is made possible by a counterweight that offsets the weight of the spectacle plate.

SchuF Fetterolf’s Cam Goggle® Solution

The SchuF Cam-Goggle® Line Blind is an innovative ‘Worker Safe’ blinding design that provides 100% absolute positive downstream shutoff.

Traditional blinding methods require a lot of time to open and close and multiple people or expensive equipment, like cranes, to change. The no-bolt design in the SchuF Cam-Goggle® Line Blind provides a fast and efficient shut-off process for a one-person operation, minimizing labour costs and downtime. This design also puts less stress on the pipe welds and equipment over time and increases the product lifespan, while improving ease of operation, reliability, and safety.

SchuF Cam-Goggle® Line Blinds are an investment that provides many benefits, including:

  • Absolute positive shut-off
  • Fast changing from open to closed and vice versa
  • One-person operation
  • No line or flange spreading
  • No special equipment required
  • Conforms to, or exceeds ASME B16.5 and API 590 standards
  • Low maintenance requirement
  • Manual, electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuation
  • Unique safety features
  • Special coatings for erosive or corrosive media or exacting operating environments
  • Integrated drain and purge connections
