Electric Drive Sluice Valves: Equipped with a manual operating handle, a powerful actuator, an opening indicator, limit switches for fully open/closed positions, a torque switch for overload protection, and an interlock switch for safety during manual operation. Explosion-proof versions are also available.ElectricDriveSluiceValves:Equippedwithamanualoperatinghandle,apowerfulactuator,anopeningindicator,limitswitchesforfullyopen/closedpositions,atorqueswitchforoverloadprotection,andaninterlockswitchforsafetyduringmanualoperation.Explosion-proofversionsarealsoavailable.
Soft Metal Seat Butterfly Valves: A triple-sealing valve combining a rubber seat and a metal seat for superior watertightness. Features METAL TO NBR, METAL TO METAL, and METAL TO NBR configurations for perfect sealing. Manages reverse pressure through a three-stage sealing process. An eccentric structure prevents seat wear and damage during opening and closing. The rubber seat actively cleans sand and foreign matter, protecting the metal seat from damage.SoftMetalSeatButterflyValves:Atriple-sealingvalvecombiningarubberseatandametalseatforsuperiorwatertightness.FeaturesMETALTONBR,METALTOMETAL,andMETALTONBRconfigurationsforperfectsealing.Managesreversepressurethroughathree-stagesealingprocess.Aneccentricstructurepreventsseatwearanddamageduringopeningandclosing.Therubberseatactivelycleanssandandforeignmatter,protectingthemetalseatfromdamage.
Sight Glass Butterfly Valves: Valves designed with a transparent window for clear visual inspection of water flow, disk position, seat leakage, wear conditions, and fluid turbidity inside the valve. This feature significantly enhances facility maintenance, enabling scientific and effective management, precise identification of valve lifespan and leakage causes, and early detection of pipeline issues. It also helps prevent valve damage from foreign substances during operation and extends overall service life.SightGlassButterflyValves:Valvesdesignedwithatransparentwindowforclearvisualinspectionofwaterflow,diskposition,seatleakage,wearconditions,andfluidturbidityinsidethevalve.Thisfeaturesignificantlyenhancesfacilitymaintenance,enablingscientificandeffectivemanagement,preciseidentificationofvalvelifespanandleakagecauses,andearlydetectionofpipelineissues.Italsohelpspreventvalvedamagefromforeignsubstancesduringoperationandextendsoverallservicelife.
Check Valves: Valves that operate based on backflow, capable of being used with bypass valves or counterweights. Features a shock-absorbing device to prevent sudden closure (water hammer) due to backflow, if requested. Available in sizes from 80mm-1500mm. Maximum operating pressure of 10 kgf/㎠, with options for 16 kgf/㎠ or 20 kgf/㎠ upon request. Suitable for sewage and water applications. Body materials include grey cast iron, carbon steel casting, ductile cast iron, and general structural rolled steel, with disk material being ductile cast iron.CheckValves:Valvesthatoperatebasedonbackflow,capableofbeingusedwithbypassvalvesorcounterweights.Featuresashock-absorbingdevicetopreventsuddenclosure(waterhammer)duetobackflow,ifrequested.Availableinsizesfrom80mm-1500mm.Maximumoperatingpressureof10kgf/㎠,withoptionsfor16kgf/㎠or20kgf/㎠uponrequest.Suitableforsewageandwaterapplications.Bodymaterialsincludegreycastiron,carbonsteelcasting,ductilecastiron,andgeneralstructuralrolledsteel,withdiskmaterialbeingductilecastiron.
Pump Control Valves: Multi-functional pump discharge valves for flow control, backflow prevention, and water shut-off. Installed in automatic intake, transmission/distribution, booster, and rainwater pump stations. Protects pumps and pipelines while offering simple operation and maintenance without specialized training. Significantly reduces water hammer during pump start/stop and provides water hammer mitigation during power outages. Key features include flow control, perfect shut-off, check valve function, and drain valve function. Utilizes a CONE SEAL TYPE for extended seal life and flawless sealing.PumpControlValves:Multi-functionalpumpdischargevalvesforflowcontrol,backflowprevention,andwatershut-off.Installedinautomaticintake,transmission/distribution,booster,andrainwaterpumpstations.Protectspumpsandpipelineswhileofferingsimpleoperationandmaintenancewithoutspecializedtraining.Significantlyreduceswaterhammerduringpumpstart/stopandprovideswaterhammermitigationduringpoweroutages.Keyfeaturesincludeflowcontrol,perfectshut-off,checkvalvefunction,anddrainvalvefunction.UtilizesaCONESEALTYPEforextendedseallifeandflawlesssealing.
