In the industrial manufacturing, to select the right valve is critical for operational efficiency and safety. Lined diaphragm valves, recognized for their robustness and adaptability, are particularly significant. This feature delves into the various types – including PTFE, glass, and rubber lined – highlighting their vital role in meeting the challenging demands of industrial environments.
Specialized Category in Valve Technologies : Lined Diaphragm Valves
Lined diaphragm valves represent a specialized category in valve technology, designed to handle corrosive and abrasive materials with high efficiency. These valves feature a flexible diaphragm, typically made of rubber or other elastomers, which separates the flow of media from the valve mechanism, minimising the risk of leakage and contamination. The lining material, which can be PTFE , glass, or rubber, provides an additional layer of protection.
Each of these linings have different part to play against corrosive substances. The PTFE lining, a superior grade plastic, is ideal for handling aggressive substances, including strong acids, alkalis, and solvents. Glass lined diaphragm valves excel in environments where chemical inertness and durability are paramount. The rubber lining, either natural or synthetic, provides excellent resistance to wear and tear.
Plastic Lined Diaphragm Valves - PTFE, PFA, PP Lined
PTFE lined diaphragm valves are renowned for their exceptional resistance to chemical corrosion and high temperatures particularly those with PTFE or PFA linings from KDV. KDV’s recent advancement in plastic molding technology at their Thailand facility further underscores their commitment to quality and innovation.
Our Plastic lined diaphragm valves offer bubble-tight shutoff (Class VI), ensuring leak prevention and safety. Its cavity-free design reduces clogs and maintenance, while the no stem seal leakage feature enhances operational safety. The lining of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a type of high-grade plastic, makes these valves particularly suitable for handling aggressive substances like strong acids and bases.
And the non-stick nature of PTFE ensures minimal residue build-up, facilitating easier maintenance and longer service life.
