Ceramic Plug and Seat Valve

The valve is available in various standard sizes and ranges from 100 to 500mm (NB). The valve has a linear stroke to flow rate relationship. This simplifies flow control within a required flow range. The valve can be adjusted to a specific application by selecting the correct choke nozzle size. The valve is designed with wear resistant components to ensure trouble free operation for long periods. The ceramic valve gives an excellent cost to life ratio. Most actuators can be fitted to the ceramic valve with only minor modifications to the mounting bracket.

The ceramic valve is easy to maintain. Worn components can be quickly replaced. No special skills are required to maintain or overhaul the valve. All ceramic valve components are readily available from PrepQuip.

The Ceramic Plug and Seat Valves, which can be automated with an actuator to suit customer applications, is used to control abrasive slurries with a maximum particle size of 3 mm. Ceramic Plug and Seat Valve can achieve at least ten times the life of conventional control valves, eliminating the need to inspect and replace valves, and reducing process downtime.

Ceramic Plug and Seat Valve, available from PrepQuip, was initially developed to replace conventional pinch-type valves on column tails discharge systems, in order to reduce excessive downtime and maintenance costs incurred through the frequent replacement of worn pinch valve sleeves.
