How well do rotary valves hold up against wear and tear from coarse construction materials like crushed rock, gravel, or demolition debris?

Posted by ACS Valves on

It depends on the material, but the right valve can hold up well in abrasive applications. If you’re concerned about the valve’s lifespan and maintenance cycles, the proper configuration is key. That could mean coatings like hard chrome, heavy plate chrome, or tungsten; closed-end rotors made from stainless-steel or AR400 steel; or accessories like air purge kits. 

To get the most out of your valve, contact an expert who can recommend the best options.
