ORBINOX TK through conduit high performance knife gate valve extends average lifespan by more than 12 months
A prestigious cardboard paper producer was looking to increase the lifespan of the knife gate valve installed in the upper position of the junk trap.
Until now, the valve had a durability of 3 months with 260.000 cycles per year. This point of application required a robust, heavy-duty knife gate valve to withstand a large number of cycles, thus optimizing the operation of the high density cleaner.
Orbinox suggested the installation of a TK high performance through conduit knife gate valve with a polyurethane seat. The result is that the valve lasts 4 times longer than the previous one and the client has been able to reduce maintenance shutdowns.
