THE BROCHURE

The 4-Way Valve from Hibon, is designed to provide flexibility and control in vacuum truck operations, enabling seamless transition between vacuum and pressure modes.

This capability is critical for off-loading material from vacuum truck debris tanks, where reversing airflow is required for efficient discharge.

Hibon has engineered a complete range of 4-way valves to match various pipe sizes and system requirements, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of transport applications.

 

Available configurations include:

  • Multiple pipe sizes (4”, 6”, 8”, 10”)
  • Manual and optional pneumatic actuator versions

WHY IT MATTERS

In vacuum truck systems, airflow control directly impacts:

  • Off-loading efficiency
  • System pressure and vacuum performance
  • Component wear and operating temperatures

 

Traditional valve designs can introduce:

  • High pressure drop
  • Reduced airflow efficiency
  • Increased operating temperatures

The Hibon 4-Way Valve is engineered to address these issues through optimized airflow design and increased valve surface area.

The result: improved system performance and reduced operational stress.

What Inside: Key Technologies

Reduced Pressure Drop Improves System Performance

Hibon valves are designed with increased valve surface area, resulting in:

  • Up to 55% less pressure drop
  • Improved vacuum and pressure capability
  • More efficient airflow through the system

This allows operators to achieve more usable vacuum or pressure during operation.

 

Lower Discharge Temperatures Protect Equipment

By reducing airflow restriction, the valve contributes to:

  • Up to 40% lower discharge temperatures
  • Reduced exposure of blower components to heat
  • Extended life of:
    • Gear oil
    • Bearings
    • Gears
    • Seals

Helping maintain operation within safe temperature zones

 

Designed for Harsh Operating Conditions

The 4-Way Valve is built with:

  • Durable construction
  • Components engineered for extreme environments
  • Robust handle assembly designed to prevent seizure

Ensuring long-term reliability in demanding applications.

 

Integrated Components for Easier Installation

Hibon valves include:

  • Mating flange and gaskets with 8” and 10” models
  • Optional mating flange and gaskets for 4” and 6” models

Simplifying installation and system integration.

 

Flexible Configuration Options

The valve is available in:

  • Multiple sizes:
    • 4”
    • 6”
    • 8”
    • 10”
  • Two configurations:
    • Manual operation
    • Optional pneumatic actuator

Allowing operators to select the right setup for their application.

FAQs
