High Pressure 7 inch Industrial Ball Valves, Size: 48inch

Product Details

The reason there are so many different types of industrial valves is the ongoing quest to make the most of each industrial plant. Valves have been specialized for specific purposes and specific equipment. Still, there are a handful of main types or categories of industrial valves. Process Valves This type of industrial valve is typically used in some part of a sequence where different controls, sometimes including human activity, come together to produce a specific output. Valves control the process, playing a very important role. Think reactor loading, lockhoppers, pneumatic conveying systems, vessel discharge, and slurry applications. Process valves are often two-way ball valves, three-way ball valves, butterfly valves, or plug valves, which either work continuously or in periods of activity if the industrial setting calls for batch processing. Our Process Valve solution is built with an open-body design. The rotating disc action ensures that the valve is self-lapping and self-cleaning. Process materials are cleaned off the surface of the valve every time it used, whether it's continuously or in batch processing. Available to suit various sizes, pressures, temperatures, and operation types, along with different end connections, accessories, and body materials, these valves are ideal for ensuring your processes are never interrupted by a valve that can't stand up to harsh environments and regular use. Bulk Material Valves Bulk material valves play an important role, controlling material flow from bins, hoppers, chutes, silos, downspouts, and the like. Rotary valves, butterfly valves, diverter valves, and slide gates are commonly used in this application. Our own Bulk Material Valves are based on the same self-lapping, rotating disc valve technology as our other products, design to withstand even the toughest bulk material handling environments. The open body lets particulate move about freely, ensuring it's cleared away as the valve opens. That same self-lapping action keeps an Everlasting Valve's seal improving and tightening with every use, so it wears in instead of wearing out. With a pneumatic actuator separate from the valve, this valve is ideal for any bulk handling needs. It will save your plant time and money when you make the switch from valves that are harder to install and maintain. Boiler Blowdown Valves Boiler blowdown valves keep boilers working efficiently through removing dirt, scale, and sediment from boilers and their pipelines. Globe valves are commonly used for this application, but they can and do wear out very quickly. The action of removing that dirt and scale ends up sending the debris right into the valve seat, which impacts its seal and leads to its demise. Clearly, it's important to invest in a boiler blowdown valve that can stay strong in harsh industrial environments if you want to reduce downtime. That same wear-in action of our other valves holds true for our boiler blowdown valves. These types of industrial valves are perfect for boiler blowdowns as the seal gets tighter through use, even in thick slurry. The rotating disc keeps the valve cleared out as it is put through its paces. We make several types of industrial valves for boiler blowdown use, including quick-opening, slow-opening, straight, and angle configurations.
