HSI SERIES
The HSI knife gate valve was specially developed for use in pipelines at risk of dust explosions, to prevent explosions from spreading beyond the valve installation point. With a closing time of 23 milliseconds, it makes a significant contribution to protecting human life at work, as well as systems with explosive gas and dust mixtures.

23 milliseconds
That's all it takes for our SpeedWey knife gate valve HSI to detect an explosion within the pipeline and to close automatically. By preventing explosions from spreading, the valve can protect not only the remaining system, but also human life. Our engineers have designed a test setup for our showroom. Come to the Sistag production facility in Eschenbach LU and see for yourself.

Faster than the explosion and hygienic for all requirements of the pharmaceutical and food industry
Our high speed isolation valve «SpeedWey» closes within 23 milliseconds in case of an explosion and protects the rest of the pipe system against destruction. The valve in the picture is additionally fitted with a PTFE inliner, which guarantees smooth surfaces with virtually no crossovers or gaps. It can therefore be used for the pharmaceutical and food industry and protect the facility and human life e.g. from flour dust explosions. The SpeedWey is manufactured at our production site in Switzerland and exclusively available at our partner IEP-HOERBIGER Technologies.
