Secure Valve Bodies for Efficient Use in Industry

Customer Background: A Norwegian industrial enterprise engaged in the production of fluid control systems required the working life and performance of the valve bodies for the corrosive high-pressure application to be increased in the year 2020. The company engaged Shaanxi Brilliant Machinery Co., Ltd. in the work.

Challenges:
Corrosion and Abrasion: The installed valve bodies were corroding at a highly rapid rate as the parts came into contact with corrosive products, which necessitated constant replacement with costly maintenance.

System downtime: The recurring breakdowns in the valves, resulting in unplanned shutdowns, stopped operations and affected productivity.

Solution: Shaanxi Brilliant Machinery Co., Ltd. in collaboration with the customer created a customized solution:
Material Selection: We have proposed the application of stainless steel alloys with excellent corrosion properties and mechanical strength for the customer's operating conditions.

Sand Casting Process: We were able to cast the bodies of the valve to the precise specifications required by the customer by virtue of our knowledge in the sand casting process. The process provided us with the flexibility in design with no impact to the strength of the parts.

Precision machining: The cast valve bodies were precision machined to the specified dimensions as well as the specified finish for the high-performance application.

Quality control: Careful checks, such as dimensional checks and pressure tests, were made to guarantee each valve body to be up to the level of high-quality specifications.

Outcome: Our specially designed bodies, when fitted, brought in significant improvements:
Enhanced Longevity: The new design of the valve bodies was more corrosion-resistant as well as wear-resistant, hence more lasting and lowering replacement frequency.

Reduced Maintenance Expenses: With more dependable valve bodies, the customer incurred less in the nature of maintenance than in asset usage.

Increased Operational Effectiveness: The decrease in the number of failed valves also cut downtime in the process, which resulted in smoother, more effective operations.

Client Satisfaction: Successful completion of the engagement restored the client's confidence in us, opening the door for a possible future business opportunity and a positive business relationship.
