\nVarious types of industrial valves, including ball, gate, butterfly and wedge valves, are used as control valves and require precise and repeatable responses.
\nIn the manufacturing, conveying, and processing sectors, these valves must provide consistent performance, often in demanding service environments, handling hard materials under pressure, exposed to extreme temperatures, and sometimes sitting idle for long periods.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” video_bg=”use_video” video_external=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/BbdonOJwO6c” background_video_loading=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ video_bg=”use_video” video_mp4=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/BbdonOJwO6c” video_webm=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/BbdonOJwO6c” background_video_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”27585″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”15px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

The main problems of industrial valves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Industrial valve problems resulting from inadequate lubrication and sealing, abrasive contaminants, or harsh service can manifest themselves in the form of galling and scoring, seal or packing failures, corrosion, and internal and external leaks.
\nProper lubrication of industrial valve components becomes critical to reduce wear, improve durability and reliability, and facilitate safe, efficient, and responsible transport of pipeline contents.
\nLubrication also preserves valve seals, seats and filler materials, ensuring leak-free operation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Gate valve maintenance: real case<\/h2>\n

In a real customer application, gate valves commonly used to block or restrict the flow of raw or processed materials were put to the test.
\nA mineral oil-based grease, exposed to hard pipeline materials, hardened and made it difficult for the valve to operate, causing material leakage past the valve seat and seals.
\nThe solution was found in Molykote\u00ae 111<\/a> compound, which maintains reliable lubrication under extreme conditions and ensures smooth valve operation and long-term seal integrity.
\nThe integration of Molykote\u00ae Smart Lubrication\u2122 solutions represents a comprehensive approach to improving valve performance and durability in oil and gas applications.
\nThese proven and effective solutions contribute to the industry’s quest for safety, reliability and environmental responsibility.
\nProper lubrication of industrial valve components becomes critical to reduce wear, improve durability and reliability, and facilitate safe, efficient and responsible transportation of pipeline contents.
\nLubrication also preserves valve seals, seats and filler materials, ensuring leak-free operation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
