Briefly Describe the Function of the Plug Valve in the Asphalt Mixing Plant?
Asphalt mixing plant is a relatively important complete set of equipment in people’s daily life, and its components include many parts, such as a grading machine, vibrating screen, belt feeder, powder conveyor, elevator, and other components. Plug valves are also one of them, so what is the specific role of plug valves in asphalt mixing plants? Next, let’s give a brief introduction by the editor of EBICO Burner.
The plug valve is first of all a closed or plunger-shaped rotary valve, which typically requires a 90-degree rotation to make the channel port on the valve plug identical to the valve body or to be separated to serve as an opening or closing function. In asphalt mixing plants, the shape of the plug valve is generally a cylinder or a cone.
If a user sees a rectangular channel in an asphalt mixing plant, it is usually in a cylindrical valve plug, and if it is a trapezoidal channel, it is a conical valve plug. “For plug valves, different structures are used to make their structure lighter, mainly for blocking or connecting media, and another use is the use of a shunt.”.
Plug valves in asphalt mixing plants are quick and easy to operate, so frequent operation will not cause problems. Plug valves also have other advantages, such as low fluid resistance, simple structure, convenient maintenance, good sealing performance, no vibration, and low noise. The use of plug valves in asphalt mixing plants has no restriction on direction, so their use in equipment is very ingenious.
