Ball Valves: Incorporating a movable seats design specifically engineered to address seat wear and slurry accumulation issues. Pneumatic control detaches non-fixed seats from the ball surface during rotation or in open positions, and tightens them in the closed position for excellent sealing. Both soft and metal seated ball valves feature flow conditioning technology and a unique ball arrangement.BallValves:Incorporatingamovableseatsdesignspecificallyengineeredtoaddressseatwearandslurryaccumulationissues.Pneumaticcontroldetachesnon-fixedseatsfromtheballsurfaceduringrotationorinopenpositions,andtightensthemintheclosedpositionforexcellentsealing.Bothsoftandmetalseatedballvalvesfeatureflowconditioningtechnologyandauniqueballarrangement.
nuflo Control Valves: A highly compact product with an integrated actuator, representing a new concept in control valve design. These valves offer low operating torque, self-cleaning seats, and an improved double sealing design. Their superior performance makes them suitable for challenging process applications involving slurry, tar fluid, corrosive and toxic fluids, as well as gas and vacuum lines (up to 740 mmHg).nufloControlValves:Ahighlycompactproductwithanintegratedactuator,representinganewconceptincontrolvalvedesign.Thesevalvesofferlowoperatingtorque,self-cleaningseats,andanimproveddoublesealingdesign.Theirsuperiorperformancemakesthemsuitableforchallengingprocessapplicationsinvolvingslurry,tarfluid,corrosiveandtoxicfluids,aswellasgasandvacuumlines(upto740mmHg).
nuflo Ball Valves: Designed with movable seats to prevent excessive seat wear and slurry buildup between the ball and seat. Pneumatic control ensures the non-fixed seats are detached when the ball rotates or is open, and tightly sealed when closed, enhancing valve longevity and sealing effectiveness.nufloBallValves:Designedwithmovableseatstopreventexcessiveseatwearandslurrybuildupbetweentheballandseat.Pneumaticcontrolensuresthenon-fixedseatsaredetachedwhentheballrotatesorisopen,andtightlysealedwhenclosed,enhancingvalvelongevityandsealingeffectiveness.
