Saunders S360 Actuator UK & Ireland | ESI Technologies Group

Saunders S360 Actuator

The Saunders® S360 piston actuator permits remote operation of the valve, either as an alternative to the manual operation or as an integral part of a control system. The S360 is a compact, lightweight, piston-type pneumatic actuator which has been developed to deliver superior performance for sterile Biopharma applications.

The S360 provides reliable performance, high cycle life, lower air consumption and a more compact design versus diaphragm-type actuators.

The Saunders® S360 housing is manufactured from polished 316 Stainless Steel producing a robust design, a clean OD profile and an attractive appearance. It can withstand typical industry wash-down regimes.

Product Benefits

Easy Compressor Change

The Saunders® S360 has a unique compressor attachment that permits easy conversion of the compressor between rubber and PTFE diaphragms, minimising the need to hold two sets of actuators in stock.

Features

Modular range delivers a compact dimensional envelope to reduce dead-leg between associated valves and optimises system design.
Maintenance-free piston technology provides powerful closure performance.
Smooth corrosion-resistant profile optimises cleanability.

Application

The Saunders® S360 Actuator has been designed and engineered to deliver optimum performance over the full range of operating conditions found in bioprocess plants. The diaphragm in a weir type diaphragm valve has a large wetted surface that is exposed to pressure in the process line. This means that line pressure has a large impact on required actuator opening and closing forces.

The majority of applications produce pressure on one side of the weir only. This condition is typically called 100% pressure drop, or 100% ΔP. When this occurs, only half the wetted area of the diaphragm is exposed to line pressure.

The force on the diaphragm is greatest when there is pressure on both the upstream and downstream sides of the weir. This condition is generally called 0% pressure drop, or 0% ΔΔP. When this occurs the total wetted area of the diaphragm is exposed to line pressure. This is not a common condition in Biopharma applications.
