High-Performance Non-Lubricated Sleeved Plug Valve
Qisheng’s Non-Lubricated Sleeved Plug Valves offer a maintenance-free solution for corrosive and abrasive services. Designed with a high-integrity PTFE/PFA sleeve, these valves provide a 360-degree bubble-tight seal without the need for periodic lubrication. The top-entry design allows for easy in-line adjustment and maintenance, while the self-cleaning action of the plug makes it ideal for handling slurries and scaling media. Conforming to API 599, this valve ensures reliable bi-directional shut-off in chemical processing, water treatment, and industrial gas applications.
Description
Qisheng Non-Lubricated Sleeved Plug Valve
The Qisheng Non-Lubricated Sleeved Plug Valve is specifically engineered for long-term reliability in services where lubricants would contaminate the process or fail due to high chemical activity. By incorporating a heavy-duty PTFE or F4 sleeve between the plug and the body, this valve achieves a permanent, low-friction seal that never requires grease. Its bi-directional shut-off capability and self-cleaning mechanism make it the premier choice for chemical processing, pulp and paper, and various industrial utility systems.
Key Product Advantages
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The sleeved design eliminates the need for periodic lubricant injection, reducing downtime and operational costs in complex systems.
- 360-Degree Sealing: The sleeve provides a complete circumferential seal around the plug, ensuring bubble-tight shut-off in both flow directions.
- Top-Entry Maintenance: Designed for convenience, the top-entry bonnet allows for internal inspection and sleeve adjustment without removing the valve body from the pipeline.
- Self-Cleaning Action: As the plug rotates, the edge of the plug port wipes the surface of the sleeve, removing any accumulated solids or scaling, which is ideal for slurry services.
- Cavity-Free Design: Unlike ball valves, there are no cavities in the body where process media can be trapped, preventing contamination and ensuring safe operation with reactive chemicals.
Typical Applications
Qisheng Non-Lubricated Plug Valves excel in handling challenging media across multiple industries:
- Chemical & Petrochemical: Handling of acids, alkalis, and solvents where zero-leakage and chemical resistance are mandatory.
- Mining & Slurry: Reliable isolation for tailing lines and abrasive mineral processing.
- Pulp & Paper: Managing fibrous media and black liquor with self-cleaning performance.
- Water & Waste Treatment: Durable isolation for sludge and grit-laden fluids.
