A Precision Shipment for Industrial Progress
KDV Flow is proud to announce the shipment of our robust DN65 weir-type rubber-lined diaphragm valves to Spain. Specifically designed to the EN558-1 Series 1 (DIN length) standard, these valves are part of our highly durable, corrosion-resistant range. Lined with hard rubber and engineered for bubble-tight shutoff and easy in-line serviceability, these valves are essential for demanding applications. The shipment reflects our continued support for the Spanish industrial sector—one of Europe’s most dynamic markets—known for its strong footprint in chemicals, water treatment, and food production. As Spain invests in infrastructure modernization and industrial efficiency, our valves help meet stringent standards with reliability and performance.
Engineered for Excellence: Spotlight on the DN65 Series
The shipped valves are DN65 rubber-lined weir-type diaphragm valves designed for longevity and precise flow control. Featuring a cast iron body lined with abrasion-resistant rubber, these units are ideal for chemically aggressive environments. Their design supports Class VI shutoff performance and allows for simple diaphragm replacement during routine service. Diaphragm valves like these are increasingly favored for their leak-tight design, hygienic flow path, and compliance with international standards (see this guide on diaphragm valves). Common applications include chemical dosing, water treatment, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceuticals—sectors where cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance are essential. For more information on KDV’s weir-type variants, visit our rubber-lined diaphragm valve product page. These valves also align with industry-wide efforts to minimize downtime and streamline operations, themes we explore in our article on minimizing maintenance with the right valves.
Meeting Industrial Needs in Spain
Spain’s industrial sectors are growing more advanced and environmentally focused. Our valves will primarily serve the country’s water treatment and chemical industries, both of which rely on precision flow control. According to Statista, Spain invests heavily in water management infrastructure, and KDV’s reliable diaphragm valves are a perfect fit for such systems. In line with EU standards, our valves support low emissions, durability under harsh conditions, and ease of operation—all key criteria for our Spanish clients. This shipment builds on previous deliveries such as our precision DN65 sealed bonnet units that are already in successful operation across Europe.
Inside the Process: KDV Manufacturing Excellence
Each valve undergoes a rigorous production and quality assurance process at our facility. The hard rubber lining is applied by specialists to ensure uniform thickness and long-lasting protection. Our QA team tests each valve to ensure shutoff integrity and structural durability. For this shipment, final assembly and inspection were expedited thanks to our enhanced testing bay upgrades. Learn more about our operational improvements in our post on test bay efficiency upgrades. Packaging was tailored to maintain valve integrity during international transit, using reinforced pallets, protective linings, and moisture-resistant materials to ensure the valves arrive in perfect condition.
Innovation That Matters: Why This Shipment Counts
These valves demonstrate KDV Flow’s commitment to innovation, safety, and international compliance. Their long lifecycle, resistance to aggressive media, and reliable performance reduce downtime and enhance safety—especially critical in sectors dealing with corrosive or hazardous substances. By continuously improving our valve offerings and production capabilities, we’re helping industries worldwide increase efficiency and compliance with evolving environmental and safety regulations.
