South American valve is a leading Gate valve manufacturer in Mexico. A Gate valve controls fluid flow in a pipe by raising or lowering a gate or wedge-shaped disc. This gate, usually metal, is connected to a stem operated by a handwheel or actuator. When fully open, the gate is lifted clear of the flow path, allowing straight-through flow with minimal pressure drop. Closing the valve lowers the gate, creating a tight seal that blocks fluid passage.
A Double Disc Gate valve, also known as a parallel slide gate valve, is a type of gate valve that uses two parallel disks instead of a single gate to control the flow of fluid. These discs are typically mounted parallel to the flow direction and can slide independently to open or close the valve.
South American valve is a reputed Gate valve manufacturer in Mexico.These valves are used for applications needing straight-through flow and infrequent operation. They are common in industries like oil and gas, water treatment, power generation, and chemical processing. Gate valves are valued for their sturdy build and ability to handle high pressures and temperatures. However, they are not suited for flow regulation, as they are designed for full open or closed positions.
