Industrial valves

How are industrial valves constructed?

Industrial valves are constructed from three main parts:

• body, 
• seat with flow hole, 
• movable element.

Special attention should be paid to the last part. Why? Because it is the movable element (i.e. the closing component) that determines what kind of valve you are dealing with. It comes in many varieties (plug, piston, ball, gate, flapper, needle, slide, etc.) and is moved by a control mechanism (knob, handle, stem, etc.).

From which materials are industrial valves made?

It is also worth noting that industrial valves are made from several types of materials. Some of the most popular include:

• brass, 
• galvanised steel, 
• stainless steel, 
• aluminium, 
• plastic.

Material has a direct impact on the properties of the valve (especially those related to strength and resistance). It also determines the type of medium with which the apparatus can work.

The permissible working pressure of the industrial valves reaches several tens of bar (however, this depends on the type of product).

What are different types of industrial valves?

In our offer you will find many industrial valves. These include:

• Ball valves — Their basic element is a ball with a through hole, which rotates when the stem is turned. They are usually shut-off valves that have almost completely displaced poppet valves from the market. 
• Mauser valves — A special type of valve for IBC tanks. They are most often made of plastic and are also subdivided according to which type of closing element is used in them.

As we are regularly developing the range, there will be new types of valves to choose from over time.

Where are industrial valves used?

Industrial valves are used in virtually every industry. They perform well in transporting most media — from liquids, through gases, to bulk and semi-liquid materials.

The most popular products of this type include:

• industrial valves for sewage treatment plants,
• industrial valves for mines, 
• industrial valves for sugar factories.

However, these are just a few examples among a vast number of use cases that could be mentioned here.

How much do industrial valves cost?

The price of industrial valves depends on many factors. It is affected by, among other things, the material, the size and even the type of containment that the product features. Therefore, the final cost largely depends on the individual needs of the customer.

Nevertheless, you will find relatively inexpensive industrial valves in our range. We do our best to ensure that, while maintaining high quality (the valves are sourced from the best manufacturers), we offer the best possible price at the same time.
