HOUSTON – ValvTechnologies, Inc., manufacturer of Zero-leakage severe service isolation valve solutions, has expanded the company’s existing in-house coating capabilities by purchasing two additional state-of-the-art robotically integrated spray booths. Coupled with more than 35 years of thermal spray experience, these new capabilities will ensure the company can optimize product flow and quality to meet production demands. Additionally, the company is hiring a staff of more than 10 spray technicians, providing thousands of hours of training and has developed and implemented leading edge procedures that have been proven to work exceptionally well.
The HVOF thermal spray coating process increases the performance and operating life of ValvTechnologies’ products which are subject to severe service conditions by increasing erosion resistance, wear resistance and abrasion/corrosion protection. ValvTechnologies has developed a proprietary compressive spray technique which results in significantly higher bond strength and will better be able to control the quality of our process, reduce costs and improve lead times providing our customers with faster turnaround, a longer-lasting product, cost savings and higher bond strengths in the form of compressive coatings.
“This was a long-term goal for our company,” said Chris Jones, ValvTechnologies’ Production Manager. “We will be able to provide a higher-quality, longer-lasting product without increasing costs.”
Benefits of HVOF coating:
- Improved quality
- Abrasion/corrosion protection
- Improved wear resistance
