FineTek BRC Series Diaphragm Valve

FineTek BRC Series Diaphragm Valve

A dust collector’s cleaning cycle is only as good as the valve firing it — the FineTek BRC Series diaphragm valve is the fast-acting, pulse-jet valve that pairs with FineTek’s AEX pulse-jet controllers to deliver that burst of compressed air on cue, cycle after cycle.

How It Works

Each valve consists of two air chambers separated by a diaphragm. When the solenoid is energised, the pressure balance across the diaphragm releases, delivering a sudden burst of compressed air into the filter bags that dislodges accumulated dust cake. The BRD and BDV variants perform the same function with slightly different designs.

Fine-Tek BRC Diaphragm (Pulse Jet) Valve for Dust Collector Systems
● GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TypePulse-jet diaphragm valve for pneumatic dust collector cleaning systems
Working PrincipleTwo air chambers separated by a diaphragm, connected via a restricted air passage. When the pilot orifice opens, the upper chamber exhausts faster than it refills, causing a pressure drop that lets the higher-pressure lower chamber push the diaphragm open for a sudden burst of cleaning air. When the orifice closes, pressure equalizes and a coiled spring returns the diaphragm to its closed position.
ApplicationPulse cleaning/filtering in dust collectors; suitable for filter bags, filter barrels, flat bags, ceramic tubes, and metal fiber filter bags
Body Connection OptionsFemale thread (SC models) or quick fittings (NC models)
Control / Wiring OptionsRemote type (solenoid pilot mounted separately); Integrated type – solenoid valve with lead wire, or solenoid valve with DIN 43650A connector
Diaphragm ConfigurationSingle diaphragm (BRC-20/25 series) or dual diaphragm (BRC-42/52/62/72 series)
