SPECTACular BLIND®

SPECTACular BLIND® is a patented system designed from La Meccanica Padana, a new way to Easy and Quick Change Spectacle blinds mounted on the pipeline.

When the spectacle blinds need to be rotated frequently, considering also high costs of plant shutdown, our solution enable to support operators and maintenance technicians permitting a quick and safety changing procedure in opening and closing the line.

The SPECTACular BLIND will be installed on WN standard flanges and can be adapted on all pipelines.

The installation is very easy and operations are very fast!

Special stud bolts, properly dimensioned, grant the sealing function of the gasket in the process conditions.

See the video 

Acting on these stud bolts, the flanges automatically moves away and the operator can easily rotate the spectacle blind.

To ensure safety of the operator the spectacle blind is hinged to a stud bolt which works as a pivot for the rotation of the spectacle blind and avoid its fall.

The gaskets to be mounted is proposed according to process conditions and client’s requirements.

Our system foresee to use both standard spiral wound gaskets and o-ring gaskets.

Main Advantages of SPECTACular BLIND

• It is the most competitive solution
• It can be ordered as a full system including flanges for a new project or as a retrofit kit for already mounted pipeline just to be installed on existing flanges without changing them
• It is time saving for the opening/closing operations on the pipeline
• It needs just one worker and one tool to perform the operations
• It increases the work safety preventing incidental rotations of spectacle blind

Materials

WN FLANGES and SPECTACLE BLIND can be ordered in all common used materials (Carbon Steels, Low Alloys, Stainless Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Inconel, etc…)

GASKETS: the type of gasket can be proposed for specific process and application.
