Dual Expanding Plug Valve
| 9
For many years different valves and
valve combinations have been used as
a solution for blocking and bleeding,
sampling or draining lines. Traditional
valves (gate) or valve combinations can
degrade over time and result in loss
of product and frequent maintenance.
Unlike other valve types, the VE
®
Dual
Expanding plug valve creates an optimum
seal without causing any abrasion and
wear. Providing a “zero-leakage” solution,
upstream and downstream, securing a
long life-time of the seals and valve, as
well as a low opening- and closing torque.
This unique design is combined with a
bleed function, all in one valve, saving
space as well as providing a reliable, safe
and economical solution.
