Techno-G Introduces Advanced PTFE-Protected Ball Segment Valves for Chemical Processing
Techno-G has announced an enhanced line of Ball Segment Valves featuring PTFE protection technology specifically engineered for solid handling in chemical and pharmaceutical applications.
The valves deliver exceptional non-stick properties with surface energy below 20 mN/m, temperature resistance up to 220°C, and complete chemical resistance across the pH 0-14 range. These technical advantages translate to 30-45% lower actuation torque and cycle life exceeding 250,000 operations under standard conditions.
Available in multiple configurations including full Titanium/Hastelloy construction, PTFE-lined components, or standard 316L stainless steel, the valves are engineered for challenging processes such as crystallization operations, high-solid-content slurries, and abrasive powder handling.
“Our PTFE-protected valves represent a significant advancement for processors handling difficult media,” stated a company representative. “The technology effectively addresses fouling, chemical attack, and material buildup—common issues that impact operational efficiency.”

The Techno-G Ball Segment Valve (BSV) is a versatile solution for pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes, handling a variety of solids. Ideal for vacuum dryers, reactors, and centrifuges, it serves as both an inlet and discharge valve. It handles non-free flowing, abrasive, or moist and adhesive products, providing a vacuum and pressure- tight seal. Its cGMP-compliant, corner-free design allows the ball segment to move clear of the product flow path when opened. The design minimizes dead-space in the process area and can be customized with non-DIN flange connections for most reactor vessels.
