K-Max Eccentric Plug Rotary Control Valve – Leslie Controls
Leslie Controls introduced its K-Max Eccentric Plug Rotary Control Valve. The K-Max incorporates the cam-action, low-friction plug operation that provides tight shutoff over a long service life in a variety of flow control applications, including high and low-pressure steam systems; clean, dirty, and corrosive liquids and gasses; and erosive and abrasive slurries.
Featuring bi-directional flow capability, the K-Max is versatile and can handle mediums that are normally flowed to open and flowed to close. The company says the inherent versatility of this design offers the advantage of using one valve style for many applications, allowing for plant standardization and minimal stocking requirements. In addition, the straight-through flow design allows for a much lower volume cost than conventional globe-style control valves.
