The Ball Segment Valve for enhancing solids handling
tim2023-09-12T11:29:24+00:00As a process engineer in industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or food, you understand the importance of efficient handling and control of solids, fine chemicals, and bulk materials. Traditional valves may fall short in providing accurate control and preventing disruptions in product processing. However, there’s a solution that offers exceptional performance: the ball segment valve with inflatable seal.
In this article, we’ll delve into the world of ball segment valves and explore how they enhance the handling and control of various materials.
What is a ball segment valve?
The ball segment valve is a type of control valve that provides precise control over fluids and materials in various applications. Unlike conventional ball valves, the ball segment valve features a segmented ball with a contoured flow path, offering several advantages such as improved flow control, reduced dead space, and minimal product damage. At Techno G, we specialize in producing high-performance segmented ball valves for diverse industries, ensuring reliable operation and efficiency.
The inflatable seal as key feature
The inflatable seal is a key feature of the ball segment valve, distinguishing it from traditional valves. This specialized seal design ensures a tight and leak-free closure, making it ideal for handling challenging materials. It enhances safety and reliability, particularly when dealing with dangerous or flammable chemicals. The inflatable seal’s adaptability to extreme temperatures and demanding applications provides optimal performance, making the ball segment valve a trusted choice for precise and secure solids handling in various industries.
