Ball valves references

The ball valve is used in the paper and pulp industry , mainly as a remotely or manually actuated on/off valve, but also as a control valve. The ball valves double seats makes it suitable if the direction of flow and pressure may shift. One example is around the digester in batch digester applications. The ball valves floating ball allows for pressure on the seat to be acheived by the differential pressure in either direction.

Ball valves with fully cylindrical bore

SOMAS ball valves have a fully cylindrical bore , which allows for minimal flow resistance in the fully open position. The fully cylindrical bore also provide advantages when dealing with abrasive media, since no part of the valve protrudes into the flow and no irregularities create turbulence. These conditions occur mainly in the chemical industry, the mineral industry and in the paper and pulp industry.
