New 13000 Series Laminar Flow Valve

The HVA 13000 Series Laminar Flow Gate Valve features a laminar flow port orifice that effectively seals the valve mechanism from the gas stream. For additional protection, purge ports are installed in both the upper and lower body areas to allow an insert gas flow to prevent intrusion of the process gas into these areas. Extensive semiconductor applications have proven these valves to be a valuable asset in process systems. Laminar flow valves may be used in etching, CVD and any other process that uses highly corrosive gases which may be damaging to other valves.

Internal Isolation - Flow orifice isolates all internal parts from flow path

Positive Shutoff - Maintains sealing integrity upon pressure/power failure

Smooth Movement - PTFE material allows laminar port to glide with ease

Corrosion Resistant - Withstands constant infusion of process gases

Vacuum Valves - Functions & Uses


Three main functions of Vacuum Valves

-          Isolate vacuum volumes from pumps

-          Control gas flow to achieve a particular pressure

-          Enable transfer of objects between vacuum volumes

Gate Valves

-          Isolation between vacuum volume (chamber) and pump (roughing, scroll, turbo, diffusion, cryo, ion)

-          Isolation between chamber and load lock during sample introduction

-          Access between chamber and load lock during sample transfer

-          Isolation between synchrotron (also cyclotron and accelerators) beam lines and experimental stations

-          Applications/Processes:

o   Semiconductor, Solar, LED, BioPharm, PVD, CVD, MOCVD, PECVD, Coating/Thin Film, Etching, MBE, R&D, Vacuum Furnaces, Food Processing, Anything needing vacuum, Atomic physics research, Fusion research, NASA, Military defense

New 78000 Series View Port Valve

The HVA 78000 Series View Port Gate Valve features an exchangeable borosilicate window ideal for single laser applications, mass spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, nanoscale microscopy, single photon ionization and short pulse spectroscopy. These valves allow for the largest optically free diameter ideal for high energy physics and experimental research. Alternative window materials are available including fused silica, quartz and sapphire as well as AR (anti-reflex) coatings for the most demanding processes.

New 16000 Series Shielded Gate Valve!

The HVA 16000 Series Shielded Gate Valve features a travelling shield that moves with the gate to protect it from debris. These valves are used in extremely aggressive applications where reoccuring down time is not an option. The Shield greatly reduces particulate migration and prolongs the sealing integrity of the gate O-ring. The body material is 304 stainless steel, which can be changed to other high temperature, non corrosive materials for exceptionally aggressive applications. Alternative elastomer O-rings are also available.
