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 is typically made from durable cast iron, while the eccentric plug is constructed from ductile iron or stainless steel, often coated with NBR, PTFE, or other resilient materials for superior sealing and corrosion resistance. As a reliable eccentric plug control valve, it excels in both isolation and flow modulation, making it ideal for water & wastewater, chemical processing, and slurry handling.
Designed for Demanding Applications
KFTE Eccentric Plug Valves are ideal for handling clean or dirty liquids, sludge, slurries, and gases. Suitable for both isolation and throttling/control services, these valves are commonly used in water treatment, wastewater treatment, power generation, chemical processing, mining, and the pulp & paper industries.
Exceptional Control Performance
KFTE Eccentric Plug Valves provide superior throttling control and precision. The permanently lubricated bearings and eccentric design minimize stiction, allowing for smooth, incremental adjustments. The one-piece cast plug and shaft eliminate mechanical backlash and hysteresis, while the firm actuator coupling enhances control accuracy.
Wide Range of Body Materials
KFTE offers a diverse selection of body materials to meet the needs of various applications up to 285 psi (1965 kPa). Available materials include cast iron, acid-resistant bronze, carbon steel, stainless steel, Alloy 20, Monel, and Hastelloy C.
Reliable, Multiple Ring Packing
The valve features multiple V-ring packing in a machined chamber with an adjustable gland, ensuring optimal sealing performance. The compressed packing rings offer self-compensation for wear, extending valve life.
Resilient Plug Facings for Durability
KFTE Eccentric Plug Valves come with resilient plug facings that provide a tight seal, even when small solids are trapped between the plug and seat. This resilient design helps prevent seat damage and ensures a longer service life.
Applications of Cast Iron Eccentric Plug Valve
The cast iron eccentric plug valve is widely deployed in harsh environments requiring tight shutoff and abrasion resistance:
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Handles raw sewage, sludge, and grit-laden flows without clogging.
Chemical Processing: Compatible with corrosive liquids; optional Hastelloy C body available.
Slurry & Mining Operations: Resilient NBR-faced eccentric plug seals around solids, ideal for tailings and abrasive slurries.
Pulp & Paper: Controls black liquor, white water, and fibrous suspensions.
Power Plants: Used in cooling water, ash handling, and FGD systems.
