Richter unveils first PFA lined Tank bottom valve system

Richter Chemie-Technik GmbH, a global leader in PFA lined pump and valve solutions, has introduced a newly designed Tank bottom valve system. The first to market ball-valve technology based PFA lined foot valve, is completed with the NKS-T lined butterfly valve and a new to market PFA lined 3” BSP outlet flange.

Based on Richter’s proven technology, the Tank bottom valve system reduces total cost of ownership while increasing safety and efficiency for operators of tank containers.

Richter’s ball-valve technology eliminates the possibility of damaging the internal coating with opening and closing of the valve which eventually leads to corrosion. The TE/F valve is also equipped with up to seven times thicker PFA coating, a material which delivers better performance on typical chemical resistance compared to current ECTFE solutions. Richter’s ball and butterfly valves have proven to last up to more than a decade in the most extreme conditions. Real world examples of more than 900,000 opening and closing cycles of the PFA/PTFE lined NK series butterfly valves are not uncommon.

Director Marketing & Product Management at Richter Chemie-Technik GmbH, Keshwar Anroedh said: “The TE/F was developed out of a direct operator need across the Tank Container industry to reduce operating costs. We’re proud to supply the logistics industry with innovative solutions that will provide increased safety, along with better performance and increased lifetime.”
