Needle valves variants and configurations
We offer a wide range of high quality needle valves (plunjer valves) in different configurations and with optional extras for actuation and cavitation prevention.
Dedicated software for accurate size calculation
Each valve is set according to relevant selection criteria for its specific application. Therefore it is necessary to provide the necessary information concerning hydraulic data (flow and pressure), installation design and requested operation when placing an order or quotation. This ensures that the needle valve has an optimum performance for the requested installation. Using our special sizing calculation software, a fluid and cavitation report can be provided under the requested hydraulic conditions. The report guarantees a cavitation free valve.
Needle valve configurations
AVK has made a selection of optional extras for actuation and cavitation prevention. The current operating data is entered per valve, after which the valve operates without cavitation, even at major pressure differences
Needle valves with actuation
Upon request we can provide needle valve solutions for custom designed control configurations:
- Worm gear box and handwheel
- Electric actuator
- Hydraulic
o Hydraulic brake and lift unit
o Double acting hydraulic piston
o Simple acting hydraulic piston - Double or single acting pneumatic actuator
