Schubert & Salzer Control Systems GmbH is a medium-sized company in the Schubert & Salzer Group with its headquarters in Ingolstadt, Germany and subsidiaries in Belgium, France, India, the UK and the USA . The company's core business lies in developing and selling innovative solutions in control technology for liquid and gaseous media flows. The creation of high quality glass involves, amongst other things, the precisely controlled supply of oxygen, oxy fuel and natural gas to the melting furnace. The maintenance of the optimal ratio of oxygen and fuel for each individual burner requires precise control. The company's sliding gate valves offer the ideal prerequisite for this task. The most important features for very short reaction times for an actuator are short positioning paths, small actuation volumes and low actuation forces resulting from these. All these properties come together in the sliding gate valve. In this valve, a pair of slotted discs slide against each other transversely to the direction of flow. Thus, the sliding gate valve seals without any metallic seat. The typical stroke between closed and open is 6-9mm. One of the most notable advantages resulting from this operating principle is the low actuation force required for the positional movements. Sliding gate valves therefore control with rapidity and precision, enabling fast adaptation to the quantities flowing through and the power required by the glass crucible.
