Premier Valves adds Metal Seated Butterfly Valves
to its range
Premier have over the years had some involvement with Triple Eccentric Metal Seated Butterfly valves and manufactured a range under license some years ago, but because of the popularity of its range of Boving and other Butterfly valves which have been market leaders in the Water Industry for over 30 years, the need did not exist to pursue this range of valves.
Because the Water industry has become interested in Metal Seated Butterfly valves in recent years and also because Premier Valves have entered other markets such as the Petrochemical industry where this type of valve has been popular for many years, a high quality range of Metal Seated Butterfly valves have been acquired. The Titan Triple Eccentric Metal Seated Butterfly valve is of the highest quality and has all the approvals necessary to be used in the demanding Petroleum industry.
Available in sizes up to 2000mm and pressure ratings up to 150bar and temperatures up to 7000 C the Titan can be used to replace many traditional valves such as Gate, Globe and Ball valves and perform the functions better with longer life expectancy. The Titan Butterfly valve is truly a valve for all seasons!
Because of the special machining required to achieve the right angles and tolerances on the seats of a Triple Eccentric Butterfly valve, general importers of this type of valve have to send the valve back to the factory for repair. Because of its extensive in-house capability and co-operation agreements with other facilities in South Africa, Premier offers a comprehensive repair and back-up service with a fast “turn-around” time for repair of these valves during plant shutdowns. Even though the life expectancy of the Titan Butterfly valve is longer than traditional valves, it is still a comfort to the client to know that full back-up is available when required.
The Triple Eccentric Metal Seated Butterfly valve has been used extensively in High Pressure Mine applications such as Pump Control Valve on 100bar Dewatering Pumps. Whereas traditional valves last for a few years in this arduous application, these valves have an impressive life span of over 10 years service before reconditioning is required. With the benefits of compactness, ease of operation and “bubble tight” shut-off, the Titan Butterfly valve is set to become a major player in the South African Valve industry.
