A cast iron eccentric plug valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluids in a pipeline. It is designed with an eccentric (offset) plug that rotates within the valve body to open or close the flow path. The body typically made from cast iron, which provides good durability and resistance to wear. The plug made from materials like ductile iron or stainless steel, sometimes coated with resilient materials like rubber or PTFE for better sealing and corrosion resistance. Cast iron eccentric plug valve can be used for throttling applications, providing good control over the flow rate. A cast iron eccentric plug valve is a reliable and versatile option for controlling fluid flow in various industrial applications, such as Water and Wastewater Treatment, Chemical Processing, Slurry and Mining Operations.
Designed for Demanding Applications
KFTE Eccentric Plug Valves are used to handle clean and dirty liquids, sludge, slurries and gases. They can be used for either isolation/shutoff or throttling/control services. Eccentric plug valves are used in water treatment, wastewater treatment, power, chemical, mining and pulp & paper
An Exceptional Control Valve
KFTE Eccentric Plug Valve provides excellent throttling control and accuracy. Permanently lubricated bearings and eccentric action reduces stiction, allowing for small incremental and controllable steps. The one-piece casts plug and shaft effectively eliminates mechanical backlash and hysteresis. In addition, the firm coupling connecting the valve to the actuator increases measurable accuracy.
Wide Selection of Body Materials
KFTE offers the most complete line of eccentric body materials to meet the requirements of a broad range of applications up to 285 psi (1965 kPa). Materials available include cast iron, acid-resistant bronze, carbon steel, stainless steel, Alloy 20, Monel and Hastelloy C.
Reliable, Multiple Ring Packing
Multiple V-Ring packing in a machined packing chamber and an adjustable gland provide the best technology in packing design. The multiple packing rings are compressed to provide self-compensation for wear.
Resilient Plug Facings for Long Service Life
KFTE Eccentric Plug valves are available with a variety of resilient plug facings. Even if small solids are trapped between the plug and seat, the resilient faced plug seals tightly, preventing seat damage.
