ANCORP (A&N) Ball Valves

ANCORP’s high vacuum ball valve is ideal for isolating reactors, traps, and scrubbers on vacuum coating tools used for epitaxy, MOCVD, PVD, and other thin-film coating processes. ANCORP ball valves offer straight-through, unimpeded flow with a minimal valve body footprint. Due to their unique design, ball valves are less sensitive than other vacuum valves to particulate contamination; therefore, they are especially useful in vacuum applications with high amounts of particulate effluent.

ANCORP ball valves consist of a body, stem, ball, and flanged end caps machined from corrosive resistant 316L stainless steel. Fluoroelastomers are used to seal the stem and end caps from atmosphere while the PTFE Teflon® seats cold flow around the ball to isolate the process when closed. The valve is opened and closed manually or pneumatically by quarter turn, quick actuation. The Teflon® sealing surface helps to protect valve internals from deposition, maintaining a clean dynamic seal to prevent failure due to contamination.
