Mushroom Valves

Details

Air shaft mushroom valves are devices used in the converting industry to control the flow of air through an air shaft. They are designed to provide a reliable seal on the air shaft, preventing air from escaping and causing issues such as web flutter and poor tension control.

Mushroom valves are typically made from rubber or silicone and have a mushroom-shaped head that fits into the air shaft. When air is applied to the valve, the head expands and creates a seal against the inside of the air shaft, preventing air from escaping. Mushroom valves are available in a variety of sizes to fit different air shaft diameters and are easy to install and replace when necessary.

In addition to preventing air from escaping, mushroom valves can also be used to regulate the amount of air flowing through the air shaft. By adjusting the air pressure, the size of the mushroom valve head can be controlled, allowing for precise control of the air flow and tension on the web.

Overall, air shaft mushroom valves are an important component in the converting industry, providing reliable sealing and precise control of air flow through air shafts.
