Farval 1000 Series
1000 Series
The Series 1000 progressive divider valve manifold distributes and proportions incoming oil or grease to bearing points.
A typical divider valve manifold consists of an inlet section, three to nine valves and an end section. One assembly can serve up to a maximum of 18 lubrication points.
Individual divider valve blocks have a discharge piston and built-in outlet check valves. Blocks are offered in three output sizes. The discharge capacity of a block is determined by varying the piston diameter in the valve block.
Twin valve blocks have two outlets located at each end of the assembly and supply rated discharge from each of the two outlets during one complete valve cycle.
Single outlet blocks have one end outlet plugged and supply twice the rated output to the open outlet.
External crossporting of adjacent valves can be achieved with a crossporting kit to combine outputs.
PROGRESSIVE DIVIDER VALVE OPERATING
SEQUENCE
Individual valve blocks operate in a “progressive” sequence. During operation, the piston within the block must complete a full discharge cycle before another piston begins operation. As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the inlet section of the divider, manifold valve blocks will continue to operate in a progressive manner.
When lubricant flow is interrupted to the inlet block, piston movement stops. When flow resumes, piston movement commences at the same point in the discharge cycle. Feed lines deliver lubricant from the valve block to individual lube points. Should a discharge line become blocked, it will stop all the valves operating.
Indicators are available to alert a blockage.
