This morning at the KDV Flow Australia testing bay, we’re putting a pair of DN80 ETFE-lined Weir-Type Diaphragm Valves through their paces. With our signature stainless steel sealed NRHW (Non-Rising Hand Wheel) bonnets, these valves are designed to deliver high-performance flow control in some of the most demanding industrial environments.
Why These Valves Stand Out
Optimised for High Flow Applications
The DN80 size is ideal for applications that require managing high flow rates while maintaining precision control. Whether it’s chemical processing, water treatment, or high-purity applications, these valves provide reliable, efficient flow management, keeping your operations running smoothly even under the toughest conditions.
ETFE Lining for Chemical Resistance
These valves are equipped with a premium ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) lining, offering excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals. This makes them perfect for industries dealing with aggressive substances, ensuring long-term durability and protection in harsh environments. From corrosive acids to solvents, the ETFE lining provides unmatched reliability.
Weir-Type Design for Efficient Flow
The weir-type design enhances efficiency by promoting smooth flow, reducing turbulence, and minimising pressure drop. This design is especially important in applications that require consistent flow, such as pharmaceutical production or food and beverage processing, where maintaining stable operations is critical. The result is optimised energy use and reduced wear on system components.
Stainless Steel Sealed Bonnets for Durability
Our stainless steel sealed NRHW bonnets are designed to eliminate traditional leak paths by removing the need for stem packing. This not only improves system reliability but also reduces maintenance requirements. With corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction, these bonnets provide superior protection against the elements, ensuring long-term durability and reduced downtime.
What Are the Advantages of Diaphragm Valves?
So, what are the advantages of diaphragm valves? Diaphragm valves, particularly the weir-type, provide exceptional flow control and leak-proof sealing, essential in industries where fluid integrity and operational reliability are critical. These valves are known for their robust design, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and chemical attack, making them the go-to choice in environments requiring high levels of cleanliness and safety.
Moreover, diaphragm valve parts are simple and durable, consisting of the valve body, diaphragm, and actuator. This simplicity not only enhances reliability but also makes them easier to maintain, extending the service life of the valve and reducing overall operating costs.
Engineered for Tough Applications
When performance and reliability are non-negotiable, these DN80 ETFE-lined valves are built to meet those demands. Made from high-quality materials and designed to meet strict industry standards, they excel in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and high-purity applications, providing the precise control and safety required in demanding environments.
The diaphragm valve function is at the heart of this performance. The flexible diaphragm ensures a tight, reliable seal, enabling precise regulation of flow. This is essential in industries like chemical manufacturing, where leaks and contamination can have serious consequences. Whether it’s handling aggressive chemicals or maintaining sterile conditions, these valves offer the precision and reliability needed to keep operations running safely and efficiently.
