So, Im working on a 1.5 Barrel system with SS drums, have been putting together the nanobrewery for a while and Im starting to figure out how to automate the thing. Ive got the heating figured out, will probably be running with the BCS from ECC (thats not what this thread is about) to control it, but Im stuck on valves. I picked up a good deal of SS triclamps for the brewery, 1.5 inch going to the pump and 1" or .5" going out of the pump. Im running out the bottom with an elbow and have purchased 4 1.5" Butterfly valves to go with it.
It was then that I started thinking about automating the liquid transfer portion of this whole thing and I need valves that I can use the BCS to actuate. I know that all the work is there on the BCS, but Im not sure what 1.5" sanitary triclamp valves I can use to work with it. I got a good price on the butterflys and am sure that I could sell them to make my money back (or I could return them.
Anyone got any suggestions? I had originally thought that alfa lavel made an actuator that you could tie in, but Im kinda learning that I need to buy a valve with an actuator already put in as its related to the mechanics of the valve itself.
Thanks
