Cement Handling - DV150mm - 150mm Dome Valves in action, being used as Diverter Valves to route cement powder within a production plant. Located at Lafarge's
Westbury Works,UK, these valves provide
a reliable and durable means of controlling
flows of highly-abrasive cement powder.

  

Cement Storage Silo - DV200mm - 200mm Dome Valves on a cement routing line within Lafarge's Cauldon Works, UK. Controlling the movement of cement into storage silos,
the Dome Valves overcome wear and reliability
problems normally associated with
cement handling.

Eternit Installation - 200mm Dome Valve at the outlet of a Cement Silo. The Dome Valve replaced a Knife Gate Valve that continually jammed and leaked cement. This caused both a maintenance and environmental problem. The Dome Valve
has solved both problems and has been in operation
for two years, providing significant cost savings
in production and maintenance.

 

  

Ineous Silicates - 300mm Dome Valve on a weighing system that feeds several reactors. The Dome Valve
replaced a rubber lined Butterfly Valve that had to be
removed from the line every six weeks for maintenance. The Dome Valve proved to have a minimum maintenance period of 12 months, that could be accommodated within the annual shutdown period. The media flowing through the
Dome Valve is Flourspar and the Dome Valve
has now been in operation for 2 years.

  

Steam Oven - 300mm Dome Valve on the outlet of a steam oven. The Dome Valve replaced a Knife Gate Valve that
constantly leaked condensate, causing loss of heat
from the oven. The Dome Valve solved the problem.
