Filed:
Sep 20, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/420440
Inventors:

Abstract:
An improved, motorized Lunkenheimer valve is provided having two independently actuated drive means for operating the valve, one of which moves the valve stem and disc longitudinally along the axis of the stem and the other of which rotates the stem and disc about the longitudinal axis of the stem. The two drive means can be operated concurrently to effect more rapid opening or closing, and countercurrently to provide a continuous grinding operation when the valve is in the closed position.
