Richter Chemie-Technik GmbH, a leader in PFA lined valve and pump solutions, with a US office located in Cedar Falls, Iowa, is introducing a new size control ball for its KNR and KNAR control ball valve series.
Increasing production quantities increasingly require larger diameters of pipelines and thus also larger valves. Everything is optimized to the maximum possible capacity for the best economic results. Richter anticipated these changing requirements with the launch of their PFA-lined control ball for the KNR/F DN200 and KNAR/F 8” valves.
The optimization of flow behavior supported by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) aims to allow the company to ensure a stable maximal flow with minimal pressure losses. The geometric shape is designed to ensure low turbulence throughout the flow range.
