Ball Segment Valves: The Ultimate Solution for Sealing Your Vacuum Dryer
When it comes to sealing off a dryer, a fully pressure-tight valve with a full bore is simply the best solution available.
The market offers plenty of shut-off valves, but only one design truly holds up under the demanding combination of pressure, vacuum, high temperatures, and the need for an unobstructed full bore passage: the Ball Segment Valve.
Why the Ball Segment Valve stands out:
- Guaranteed tight closure — thanks to its inflatable seal, the valve delivers a fully reliable shut-off, even under high pressure or vacuum conditions
- Full bore design — ensures unobstructed product discharge, optimizing flow and preventing blockages
- No dead areas — a sanitary design that promotes hygiene and efficiency, from vacuum drying to pressurized process reactors
- cGMP-conform and CIP-able — meeting strict pharmaceutical standards while remaining easy to clean in place
- Excellent reliability and long operating life — precision-engineered for a vacuum-tight seal that holds up to demanding process conditions
The inflatable seal is central to the valve’s performance: its special geometry enables long-term, reliable sealing against a wide range of solids, and it is available in multiple seal materials to match your specific process — including EPDM White, EPDM Black, Viton White, Viton Black, and Perlast FFKM.

The Techno-G Ball Segment Valve (BSV) is a versatile solution for pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes, handling a variety of solids. Ideal for vacuum dryers, reactors, and centrifuges, it serves as both an inlet and discharge valve. It handles non-free flowing, abrasive, or moist and adhesive products, providing a vacuum and pressure- tight seal. Its cGMP-compliant, corner-free design allows the ball segment to move clear of the product flow path when opened. The design minimizes dead-space in the process area and can be customized with non-DIN flange connections for most reactor vessels.
