Injection Molded Material Blanks

Today's advanced polymers have excellent mechanical properties and are capable of working at temperatures up to 400+ degrees F.In most cases, a simple conversion to low mass polymer sealing elements can give existing valves in reciprocating compressors a vastly increased life as well as reduced energy consumption and  maintenance costs, without having to alter the valve body or modify the valve cage. The main advantages of polymer plates & rings over metallic are as follows:

·         Heat resistance to impact fatigue
·         Ability to operate at higher lifts
·         High tolerance to dirt, liquids & chemicals
·         Reduced wear to valve seat & guard
·         Improved sealing capabilities
