Quick Action Line Blind – QLB

ONIS QLB outperforms traditional blinding methods like spectacle blind, figure-8, slip flange, …

The Quick Action Line Blind (QLB) is a blinding system that is used to isolate or “blind” equipment typically for maintenance or inspection purposes. The technology allows the full blinding operation to be performed in minutes and provides up to 95% reduction in downtime compared to conventional systems such as spectacle blinds. Achieve substantial process improvement using the Quick Action Line Blind with the following key advantages:

How it works ?

ONIS QUICK ACTION LINE BLIND is a mechanical piping equipment that can guarantee absolute tightness between upstream and downstream pipes whoever is operating it while reducing risks and costs.

Simple and quick to use, this mechanized positive isolation system brings reliability to any positive isolation operation. For all ONIS Quick-Action Line Blinds, the two forged half-bodies / seats spreading operation is performed by a lever or a hand-wheel connected to a gearbox. This flange spreading movement, generated by efficient and reliable synchronized eccentric shafts, allows the displacement of a slide gate designed with a full-bore and a blind position.

Seats clamping movement is as simple as spreading operation. Just oppositely operate the lever or handwheel. This quick-action clamping mechanism is self-locking and resistant to overpressure and vibration.

4 gaskets are only on slide gate 2 per position of use, accessible for inspection or replacement without disassembly.

This positive isolation equipment is set and tested in the factory and requires no adjustment on-site after installation or operation. It enables a pipe isolation with a perfect tightness whoever is going to operate it.
