Maximize the efficiency of your valves: discover our lubricating and sealing solutions for plug valves

Plug valves represent an essential solution in the control and regulation of fluid flow in numerous industrial sectors. Their effectiveness largely depends on correct lubrication, which guarantees their functionality and longevity. Specific lubricants, known as sealing lubricants, play a crucial role in maintaining optimal valve performance in many aspects:

• Sealing: Superior lubricant-sealants guarantee an effective sealing interface between the plug and the valve body, minimizing the risk of fluid leaks and preserving structural integrity.
  
  
• Low operating torques: Advanced formulations reduce internal friction, optimizing valve maneuverability and ensuring operational precision with less mechanical effort.
  
  
• Low energy absorption: Lubricant sealants designed for low energy absorption facilitate the correct sizing of actuators and support manual handling, in compliance with oil & gas standards.
  
  
• Resistant film between plug and body: High persistence lubricants maintain consistent performance and extend maintenance intervals, optimizing the operational longevity of the valve.

Long-lasting lubricant formulas extend relubrication cycles, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance and improving production efficiency. Supplemented with anti-corrosion additives, these compounds offer effective protection against corrosive environments, increasing the durability of the valve's metal components. Easily applied through low-pressure greasing systems, they ensure uniform application and reduce discrepancies, while their compatibility with polar and non-polar fluids prevents chemical degradation, thus maintaining the functional integrity of the valve.

In the industrial field, plug valves require lubricants that not only protect and facilitate their operation, but are also specifically adapted to the unique operating conditions of each plant. Macon stands out in the sector for its ability to develop custom formulations of lubricants and sealants, optimizing the products for specific application contexts thanks to an in-depth study of the conditions of use:

• Low temperature: In low temperature contexts, we develop lubricant-sealants that maintain exceptional stability, preventing hardening and ensuring the fluidity necessary for correct valve handling. This prevents the increase in operating torques which could compromise operational efficiency.
  
  
• High Temperature: At high temperatures, our products form a persistent lubricating film that does not drip, ensuring effective and continuous sealing. Resistance to thermal decomposition is critical to prevent degradation of the lubricant under thermal stress.
  
  
• Optimized valve actuators: Thanks to visco-dynamically light lubricants but with high sealing capacity, it is possible to optimize the dimensions of the actuators. These advanced solutions facilitate smooth force transmission, reducing energy consumption and improving the responsiveness of actuators, leading to a significant reduction in operating costs.
  
  
• Valve opening phases: Macon's portfolio includes solutions that reduce friction in all valve operating phases – starting, running and closing. These products are designed to minimize initial friction, ensure smooth stroke and facilitate closing, thus improving the longevity and reliability of the valves.
  
  
• Resistance and safe compatibility for special gases: Particular attention is given to compatibility with special gases such as oxygen, where flammability risks require highly specialized formulations. Macon develops lubricants that not only withstand extreme conditions, but also offer a critical level of safety in high-risk environments.

Macon is committed to providing solutions that not only meet technical needs but also raise safety and efficiency standards, customizing products to meet and overcome the specific challenges of each industrial application.
