Installation and Operating Instructions
Applies to: SPV8 and SPV16
General
The Smartflow SWAP Valve is a simple, manually
selectable device that supplies cooling water to the mold
during processing, or air to purge the water from the
mold before a mold change.
The SWAP Valve has three positions: WATER, PURGE
and VENT. The WATER position is selected for normal
processing. The PURGE position is selected to evacuate
the water before mold change. The VENT position is
selected to bleed-off trapped pressure and drain residual
water before a mold change.
An optional spring-loaded locking pin is available to
prevent accidental movement of the valve handle.
