1. Alinco manufactures spades and spectacle blinds in various materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, boiler steel and different alloys. Production is carried out according to the requested specifications and standards.

Application

  1. A spade (spade/blind paddle/blind pan/blind spade/spacer) is used to completely shut off a pipeline during maintenance or shutdown.
  2. A spectacle blind consists of a blanking side and an open side, connected by a bridge. This allows for an easy switch between open and closed positions without having to remove parts.

Important to specify when requesting a quote or placing an order

  • Desired thickness (not all are manufactured according to standards)

  • Deviating dimensions if applicable

  • Do you require a material certificate?

  • Engraving of information and, if so: which (material type, grade and heat number)

  • Roughening of the sealing surface for a reliable seal.

Alinco cuts/manufactures many spades and spectacle blinds – both in steel and stainless steel, as well as in more specific materials such as boiler plate or special alloys.

These are often requested with type engraving and a sealing face of type RF = raised face.

This is the roughening you often see on flanges, with small turned grooves.
