SchuF invented the Lift Plug Valve in 1914. Since then, it has delivered plug valves to the Chemical, Refinery, Delayed Coking, Polymer, Cement, Mining and Power industries.
Lift Plug valves as suitable for a variety of applications such as isolation, or switching where the medium is highly abrasive, or operating conditions are severe - such as very high temperatures.
SchuF produces a special range of lift plug valves for the coking industry - the IsoPlug and SwitchPlug range.
Rising-plug style valve for process instrumentation applications. Provides users with a highly reliable valve solution for applications where contaminated media can lead to premature valve failure.
The rising plug valve's ‘straight-through’ design supports higher flow rates than needle valves, helping to avoid the build-up of deposits.
The HRPV Series valve features an 8-turn actuation cycle, with a rolled spindle thread and smaller sealing area - lowering the torque required when controlling high pressure fluid flows and providing a long life. It’s rated to 10,000 PSI (689 bar) - a typical actuation torque of just 25 pound-inches (2.82 Nm) of torque is required.
Two types of body are available: inline 2-port design, and an inline design with a standard 3-port gauge interface at one end. In its smallest 1/4 inch female NPT version, the overall body length of the compact valve measures just 60.5 mm.
As standard, the valve is provided with PEEK seats, which allows the valve to operate up to 200+ degrees C, and resists wear and damage from the kind of aggressive media encountered in oil and gas processing environments.
Fabricated from 316 stainless steel as standard, HRPV Series valves can optionally be specified in a wide range of exotic alloys.
