Plate valves for compressors handling all gases
Ensure reliable gas compression with innovative plate valves designed for seamless integration, reducing the impact of liquid hammers while maximizing operational durability and efficiency.

Compresses and Regulates Industrial Gas Flows
The BORSIG ZM plate valves offer a robust solution for gas compression across diverse industrial applications. Utilizing durable non-metallic valve plates made from materials like PEEK and PA, these valves significantly reduce consequential damage from liquid hammers and ensure longevity under harsh conditions. Designed for simplicity in installation, they enable rapid overhauls which can be crucial in operations lacking immediate service support. Perfect for environments handling heavily polluted gases, the plate valves maintain reliability with variable slot-width valve seats, delivering sustainable sealing performance. These valves are commonly employed in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and environmental technology, processing end-products such as purified ethylene, hydrogen fuel, and recovered hydrocarbons. Their design includes provisions for manual and continuous operations and offers customization options in materials to ensure optimal chemical compatibility.
