Ohio-based Hunt Valve, a fluid power engineering company specializing in severe-duty valves and components, has released a new descale valve that aims to deliver two to three times longer service life. The new Mega-Flo “C” plunger-style descale valve incorporates advanced ceramic materials for reliable, continuous production at rolling mills. Additionally, the Mega-Flo “C” has an upgraded ceramic housing liner that can now be replaced in the field. This saves the downtime of sending the liner out to the manufacturer to be repaired.
The new Mega-Flo “C” descale cartridge upgrade capability enables steel producers to extend the service life of their existing valve installation. Customers with the Mega-Flo “A” or “B” plunger descale valves can upgrade their existing installations by simply replacing the old-style cartridge with a Mega-Flo “C” cartridge since it is built to drop in to the existing valve housings for a quick and easy field upgrade.
