EXPOQUIMIA 2017
Once again, CEXCO attended the Expoquimia Trade Fair in Barcelona. In this edition, CEXCO presented innovations in high-performance valves: high pressure (3,100 lb) and high temperature (540° C). They also presented an innovative system for the mechanical and flexible remote operation of valves. This system also allows for the remote-mounting of electric or pneumatic actuators. […]
Titanium Valves
The main advantages of Titanium over other metals lie in the high quality of its mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Due to its great hardness, corrosion resistance, and lightness, titanium is especially effective in industrial applications where working conditions are extreme, even with excessively high and low temperatures. In fact, its hardness is comparable to […]
New Marpol Waste Treatment Plant Project
CEXCO supplies the valve package for a new Marpol waste treatment plant construction project in North Africa. This supply includes manual and pneumatic ball valves up to 10″ (DN-250), check valves, 3-way control valves, and safety valves. The supply was completed with various instrumentation. Due to the end client’s requirements, the valves have been manufactured […]
400 bar and 540°C
CEXCO manufactures ball valves for a leading company in the energy sector, with a maximum operating temperature of 540°C and a maximum design pressure of 2500 pounds (400 bar). A notable feature is the internal construction of these valves with movable seats using Inconel 718 springs. This allows the valve to open and close under […]
High Pressures and Aggressive Environments?
For industries that require operation in aggressive, corrosive, and/or oxidizing environments, CEXCO offers valves made from DUPLEX (A890 4A) and SUPER DUPLEX (A890 5A) materials. If these conditions also involve high pressures (100 bar) and require achieving a leakage class VI (zero leakage) according to ANSI standards, a soft seat must be used, in this […]
Nitriding of Materials
Nitriding is a thermochemical treatment that can be applied to certain steels. The process modifies their composition by adding nitrogen while being heated to high temperatures in a furnace with an ammonia atmosphere. The result is an increase in the surface hardness of the parts. It also increases resistance to corrosion and fatigue. Visually, a […]
