Solar energy from the roof of our production facility in Madrid

In June 2019, our Spanish sales and production organization InterApp Valcom moved into a new production facility in San Agustín del Guadalix near Madrid. Even then, it was clear that the spacious flat roof would one day be equipped with a photovoltaic system to support the production of our elastomer-lined butterfly valves with green energy.

Since February, solar energy has been flowing from the roof. 276 PV modules on an area of 652 m² and with an output of 450 Wp each enable us to cover 45% of our electricity demand with renewable energies, thus making a further contribution to the protection of the environment.

Desponia® and Desponia® discs with Ultralene Coating™ offer excellent wear resistance, chemical resistance and anti-adhesion properties for highly demanding environments.

Ultralene Coating™ is a technical plastic with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic. The material is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals and it has extremely low moisture absorption, resulting in a very low friction coefficient.

Therefore, Ultralene Coating™ overmoulded discs are ideal for use in:
- handling of slurries
- the pneumatic conveying of cement and powder
- the mining industry in general
- flue gas cleaning systems
- desalination processes.

While the initial investment is higher, the long-term financial benefits of Desponia® and Desponia® plus butterfly valves with Ultralene Coating™ overmoulded discs are substantial thanks to lower maintenance cost, less downtime and longer life cycle.

Desponia® and Desponia® plus butterfly valves with Ultralene Coating™ overmoulded discs are typically combined with Flucast® liners. The butterfly valves are available from DN 80-300 for a working pressure up to 10 bar and from DN 800-1400 for a working pressure up to 6 bar.

Desponia® butterfly valves with PEKK coating provide high resistance, under extreme conditions

PEKK (Polyetherketoneketone) is a linear, aromatic,semi-crystalline thermoplastic, widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastic materials in the world. Applied to the disc surface of Desponia® and Desponia® plus, it offers a cost-saving and long-term reliable solution for specific industrial applications, where high corrosion, abrasion and heat resistance are required.



Thanks to its outstanding properties, PEKK coated discs are ideal for use in:
- discharge of filtered solids and slurries in chemical processes
- slurry handling processes in the mining industry
- flue gas desulphurization units in power generation plants
- oil & gas specific applications.

Typical configurations of Desponia® and Desponia® plus butterfly valves with PEKK coated discs cover combinations with Flucast® liners for abrasive applications and FPM liners for high temperature and aggressive applications.

High requirements for high purity applications

The reduction of all types of contamination is the most important goal in the production of contamination-sensitive products, such as in the semiconductor or pharmaceutical industry. To guarantee a fault-free production process and exclude critical residues, all products used in the manufacturing process must show a high degree of purity.

For the analysis of our Bianca butterfly valve, the trace analysis department of Exyte Technology GmbH, specialist for clean room technologies and controlled environments, was entrusted with the particle and TOC test according to SEMI F40 and F57.

Particle test

The Bianca butterfly valve in high purity execution was tested on particle residues with the ultra-modern particle measuring device Ultra DI 50, which is ideal for trace analysis.
According to SEMI F40 and F57 a maximum limit value of 0.10 particles/ml is allowed. The Bianca butterfly valves achieved a test value of 0.01 particles/ml, which is far below the permitted value.

TOC test

Within the scope of the TOC test (Total Organic Carbon Test) the sum of all organic carbon in the ultrapure water was analysed.
According to the SEMI F40 and F57 standards, the test defines a limit value of < 1 ppb. The Bianca butterfly valves also fell below this value with a test value of 0.7 ppb.

High-purity butterfly valve Bianca - absolute safety for high purity applications

Both the particle test and TOC test performed by Exyte Technology GmbH confirm that the Bianca butterfly valves in high purity execution have a high degree of purity and are perfectly suited for use in the production of contamination-sensitive products.
