What&#;s the meaning of life? Who&#;s being drafted to your favorite sports team? What should you expect from your rotary airlock valve supplier? They&#;re all important questions, but we&#;re most qualified to answer the last one.
youzhen supply professional and honest service.
If you&#;re shopping for a new valve, ask your vendor these questions before committing to an order. Their answers should give you confidence in the expertise of their team, the reliability of their valves, and their ability to provide additional value and support throughout the process.
1) Where and how are your airlocks made?
Cheaply made valves are not worth the risk of contamination, safety hazards, and downtime. Rotary airlocks should be cast with high-grade steel to ensure they meet quality standards, and CNC-machined parts are a must to ensure conveying accuracy and a longer lifespan. Your valve supplier should be able to explain how and where the valves are designed and manufactured.
2) How well do you know my industry?
If your supplier recommends a valve, they should be able to explain how it will fit into your plant&#;s setup, convey your materials more efficiently, and reduce downtime in your application. That requires in-depth knowledge of pneumatic conveying and bulk material characteristics. Always ask if they have experience configuring valves for your industry and material.
You can also ask about application-specific equipment, features, and design elements that provide things like:
- Reduced energy consumption
- Fast and easy cleaning
- Effective material release with no dead zones
- Metering consistency
- Coatings for reduced wear and longer lifecycles
- Shaft seals that don&#;t have to be adjusted
- Bearing design that reduces the risk of contamination
- Drive packages that require less maintenance
3) Do your valves meet regulatory compliance standards?
Safety compliance features should come as a standard, not as add-ons that require you to pay extra. Whether it&#;s OSHA-compliant features to prevent workplace injuries or NFPA-compliant configurations to minimize the risk of fires and explosions in your plant, rotary airlocks should be able to help you meet regulatory standards by design.
4) How does your ordering process work?
Long before you place an order with your valve supplier, they should be able to describe the process from start to finish. What kind of information do they typically include in a quote? Will they send a detailed proposal and drawings to confirm the specifications? A sales rep can also tell you up front whether you should expect any additional fees or delays.
5) How often do your valves and parts need to be replaced?
A key aspect of maximizing uptime is ensuring your equipment runs reliably. Do parts such as seals, bearings, and rotors last longer than the competition, and are they easy to replace when needed? Are the rotary airlocks themselves designed for longevity in your application? Your supplier should be able to recommend valve coatings, options, and accessories that extend lifespan and reduce maintenance cycles.
6) How fast is your customer service?
In this industry, wasted time is synonymous with throwing bulk material down the drain. There are two sides to the customer service coin: the responses you get during the initial quoting process, and the technical support you get after the valve is delivered.
It&#;s important to get quick and reliable answers to your questions, regular shipping updates, and a fast turnaround on drawings and quotes. Once your new valve is safely set up in your plant, it&#;s equally crucial to know that someone will be there to provide prompt technical support if you ever need it.
7) What happens if the valve breaks down or fails?
Does the vendor stand behind their products? Does their technical support team have enough conveying knowledge to help you diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve issues when they arise? Every conveying setup is different, so tech support should be able to look at specifications or pictures of your equipment to understand the issue and make relevant suggestions.
8) So, how much?
Yes, your supplier should offer a competitive price for the value they bring. Cheaper doesn&#;t always mean better, but the supplier should be able to explain how their recommendations will improve your ROI in the long run.

The ACS Valves team is always happy to field any questions you might have. If you&#;re looking to replace an old valve from a different manufacturer, we can also configure a new valve to your existing specifications. Just contact us to get started.
Valve Castings
The valve is used to change the passage section and the flow direction of the medium. It has the functions of diversion, cutoff, regulation, throttling, check, split or overflow relief. Valve castings are control components in pipeline fluid delivery systems. They come in a wide variety of sizes and sizes.
Valve castings are widely used in chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, paper, mining, electric power, liquefied petroleum gas, food, pharmaceutical, water supply, and drainage, municipal, mechanical equipment, electronics industry, urban construction, and other fields.
Our foundry is a reliable valve parts manufacturer and supplier for valve clients all over the world. We can make all kinds of casting valve components for a check valve, butterfly valve, ball valve, gate valve, control valve, globe valve, plug valve, etc.
The main types of valve castings
Gate Valve Casting
We can offer the scale of Gate Valve Castings from our foundry. Steel gate valve castings can be used for steam, water, air, oil, gas, and non-acid fluids. These valve castings are specially designed to endure high temperatures and load. As per the client&#;s requirements, we can customize different gate valve castings.
Globe Valve Casting
Globe Valve Casting is widely used in the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, and petrochemicals industries. This industry has a high demand for Globe Valve Casting. As one of the best valve casting manufacturers, our product has Long-lasting and stable properties. It is welcome by our customers because of its comfort of fitting, supreme tensile energy, and accurate engineering.
Ball Valves Casting
Ball Valves Casting is the most exported one in our foundry. It is accepted by our customers at reasonable prices, trusted quality. These castings are broadly used in railway industries for air dryer systems with their hardy frame, greater services, and conventional dimensions

Valve Investment Casting Process
As per the material specification and dimensions of valve casting parts, we can make them in different casting processes:
Process 1:
Sand Casting: Also a casting process for valve casting parts. Sand casting is suitable for both steel and iron valve castings. Compare with lost foam and lost wax castings, it is more suitable to make larger valve components. Normally, we will need to leave more machining allowance for further machining operation. The max weight we can cast is around 2 tons per piece.
Process 2:
Lost Wax Casting: Can make cast steel valve components, like carbon steel, stainless steel, and other cast steel alloys. Lost wax casting is a precision casting method for valve components. So we can achieve good dimensions and tolerances, smoother surface. Stainless steel valve casting parts are widely used in the silica sol casting process, which is another lost wax method. We can use this casting process for butterfly valves, ball valves, etc.
The company is the world’s best valve parts casting manufacturer supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Process 3:
Lost Foam Casting: This casting method is more suitable for making precision cast iron valve parts. It can also get a good surface finish and size. Such as net shape or near-net shape valve castings will need no machining or just little machining allowance.
Most importantly, valve casting provides an easier and less time-consuming way to make replacement parts when a system&#;s current valves break down and deteriorate. We believe that Your drawing + our technology = Satisfactory product
