GESTRA

Blowdown Valves

Automatic and intermittent blowdown valves for efficient boiler water management.

Blowdown Valves

Maximize your boiler's efficiency and operational lifespan with GESTRA’s high-performance blowdown valves, engineered for the precise control of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and reliable bottom sludge removal. Whether you require rapid-action intermittent valves to clear abrasive sediment or continuous blowdown systems to automate strict water quality standards,

PA 46, PA 47, PA 48 / MPA 46, 47, 48

GESTRA

Product Type: Rapid-Action Intermittent Bottom Blowdown Valves (PA & MPA Series) Rating: PN 40 to PN 100 / CLASS 150 to CLASS 600 Size / Connection: DN 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 (Flanged, Butt-weld, Socket-weld) Best for: Forceful removal of accumulated sludge and sediment across standard to very high-pressure steam boilers. Key Features:

  • Pressure ratings spanning PN 40 to PN 100 (CLASS 150 to 600)

  • Specialized rapid-action mechanism generates a high-velocity purging “shock”

  • PA models feature a manual lever for swift operator actuation

  • MPA models feature robust pneumatic actuators for automated boiler control integration

GESTRA

Product Type: Rapid-Action Intermittent Bottom Blowdown Valves Rating: PN 160, 250 / CLASS 600, 900, 1500 Size / Connection: DN 25 (Flanged, Butt-weld, Socket-weld) Best for: Forceful removal of accumulated sludge and sediment in ultra-high-pressure utility and power generation steam boilers. Key Features:

  • Ultra-high-pressure ratings (PN 160 / 250, CLASS 600 / 900 / 1500)

  • Compact DN 25 body engineered specifically for severe service and power applications

  • Specialized rapid-action mechanism generates a high-velocity purging “shock”

  • PA 110 features a manual lever for swift operator actuation

  • MPA 110 features a robust pneumatic actuator for automated boiler control integration
