Client Email (AB sugar plant): We have several valves giving us grief. Our milk of lime slurry is abrasive, and the sand destroys the rubber valve seats. We’ve tried specialty valves; they lasted a little longer but are still no good.
Bray International, Inc. to the rescue! Meet the S19L, a versatile segmented ball valve designed for demanding on-off and modulating service. This valve has demonstrated outstanding performance in the sugar industry, offering exceptional longevity.
Once installed, the Bray valves outlasted the plant’s rubber-seated units, remaining in service significantly longer with minimal wear to their replaceable hardened liner (see photo taken during the 18-month inspection).
The maintenance team is highly satisfied with the valve's performance and has now implemented Bray S19L valves on their raw juice lines.
