Industrial valves
for the steel industry

A seemingly simple material
with a variety of process requirements

Even if the steel industry in Austria, with a few large groups such as voestalpine AG or Böhler Edelstahl, does not appear to be excessively significant, the steel industry and metal goods production generate one fifth of the added industrial value and Austria has achieved an above-average specialisation in these sectors compared to the EU.

As negligible the number of companies in the industry may seem, as diverse are the requirements placed on valves used in the processes. High temperatures, high water consumption, high and low pressure as well as chemical resistance and the use of a wide range of media: these call for all-rounders, both in terms of products and consulting. That’s exactly why you are in good hands with us: Whether a blast furnace or water circuit, we will guide you to the right valve.

As a wholesaler for industrial valves, we are proud that we can count Austria's industry leaders from the steel industry among our customers.

Product tip

Ensuring that you are not up to your neck in water:
the Hydromat

Contamination and vegetation introduced via the fresh water demand tougher requirements, but still no special challenges to the closing behaviour of valves. But in some regions, foreign bodies settle in the pipes, which represent too much resistance for valves to close tightly:

As stowaways on board ships on the River Danube, shells from maritime regions enter the Danube and the fresh water pipes of plants on the Danube. Once established in the pipes, they influence the tightness of standard butterfly valves. In addition to increased water consumption when the valves are in a closed position, their inability to close fully is also a problem in areas that are supposed to be drained for maintenance purposes.

In order to ensure that our customers on the Danube are always dry and their water consumption remains efficient, we have found a solution in a particularly robust valve: The Hydromat from Tröger + Entenmann is a centric butterfly valve with a powerful sealing principle – nothing stands in the way of it closing – and so it remains reliably tight.

Outside the standards

Why we do like to be involved in customer projects right from the start? Because this gives us the opportunity to understand the problem exactly and to be able to offer the right solution.

Can it cost
a little less?

From our point of view, the right solution is the valve that meets the respective requirements at the right price.

The TTV – Colossus double eccentric high-performance butterfly valve, for example, is an interesting choice in terms of price, especially when high quantities are needed. The investment paid off as part of the construction of a new cogeneration plant and the entire plant was equipped with TTV – Colossus valves in all hot water areas.

The TTV – Colossus with its PTFE seal is suitable for special applications in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries and with a metal seal, it ensures a reliable tightness during operation at a wide range of pressures and temperatures in both directions. Different models are available and adapted accordingly for specific operating conditions.
