Industrial piping systems handle rigorous operations and to ensure optimal efficiency of their functions, they need to be well-maintained and reliable. The Proco ProFlex™ Style 730 rubber duckbill checkvalve is a high-performance solution that meets these demands head on.
We at Dutco Tennant LLC supply this incredible product that not only enhances system efficiency but also reduces maintenance concerns and operational costs. At this year’s WETEX exhibition, this innovation will be featured along with our partner Proco Products, Inc.
Get ready to check out its innovative design that combines key features such as prevention of backflow, ultra-quiet operation, and durability under harsh conditions. Let’s dive deeper into how this product
boosts system performance across various applications.
The-unique Design of the Pro Flex™ Style 730
The
Proco ProFlex™ Style 730 duckbill check valve incorporates a rubber-based
construction. It is meant to help combat common challenges in pipelines such as
backflow and water hammer.
These issues often plague traditional valve designs,leading to inefficient systems, higher maintenance, and increased energy consumption. However, the ProFlex™ Style 730 excels due to its:
All-rubber construction:
Unlike
metal-based valves, the rubber check valve material resists corrosive and abrasive environments. This allows it to handle slurries and other difficult materials with ease.
No water hammer:
Water hammer, which can lead to system damage due
to pressure surges, is eliminated by the ultra-quiet design of this valve.
Backflow prevention:
The
duckbill-shaped valve naturally closes when backflow occurs. Hence, ensuring
smooth operation without the need for external energy sources or mechanical
interventions.
But that’s not all, its unique design also creates a low head loss environment. The flow of media through the valve is streamlined so as to offer minimal pressure drops. All of this combined further contributes to overall system efficiency.
Energy Efficiency and Low Maintenance
Energy efficiency and low maintenance are two critical factors that contribute to long-term cost savings in industrial systems. The ProFlex™ Style 730 excels in both of these areas:
Negligible energy costs:
The
valve operates purely through the force of the media and doesn’t require
external power sources. Due to this mechanism, lower energy consumption can be
achieved. This makes it an eco-friendly and cost-effective option for
large-scale systems.
Low maintenance needs:
The
all-rubber construction and innovative design mean that the ProFlex™ Style 730
requires minimal upkeep. Traditional check valves, especially flap-type valves,
may need regular maintenance due to wear and tear.
However, the robust elastomers in the duckbill valve ensure long service life, with some systems seeing up to 35-50 years of operation without significant degradation.
Resistant to extreme conditions:
Whether
dealing with abrasive slurries or freezing conditions, the DuckBill Check Valve 730 continues to perform reliably. Even in sub-zero
temperatures, if the valve freezes along with the medium, it won’t be damaged
and will return to full functionality once thawed.
Versatility in Application
The ProFlex™ Style 730 duckbill valve is highly versatileand adaptable across a range of industries and applications. It can be easily installed on existing pipes, whether vertically or horizontally, using heavy-duty stainless steel clamps.
The ease of installation combined with its quick interchangeability with traditional flap-type check valves makes it an ideal choice for system upgrades or retrofits.
Available in sizes from 1” to 96”, this valve can fit into both small-scale and large-scale systems. Additionally, with custom inner diameters (ID) designed to suit concrete pipes, it offers flexibility across varying pipe types and installations.
Built to Handle Harsh Environments
The ProFlex™ Style 730 is constructed to withstand challenging environments, including those with abrasive materials like slurries, barnacles, and algae. The rubber materials used—such as neoprene, EPDM, nitrile, and natural rubber—provide excellent resistance to these substances.
Proco also offers variants that comply with NSF-61 and NSF-372 standards. This makes them suitable for clean water and potable applications.
The valves are ideal for industries that significantly need to avoid contaminants or elastomer leaching. For example, in water treatment plants or food and beverage processing.
Enhancing Odor and Back flow Control
One of the key applications of the ProFlex™ Style 730 duckbill valve is its use in systems where odor and backflow control are essential. In situations where backflow can lead to odor problems, such as
wastewater treatment plants or septic systems, the valve’s unique design ensures that no backflow enters the pipe system.
This "checking" action is highly beneficial for maintaining a clean and odor-free environment, especially in locations where such issues are prevalent.
All in all the rubber duckbill check valve from Proco is an exemplary product that addresses multiple challenges faced by industrial piping systems. It offers a superior alternative to traditional check valves thanks to its ability to boost system efficiency, reduce operational costs, and ensure long-lasting performance.
Whether you’re dealing with harsh materials, seeking to reduce energy consumption, or aiming to prevent backflow and odours, this valve can be a game changer for your system.
Its incredible power and features work hand-in-hand deliver stellar performance that makes them the best choice for demanding industrial applications. So, what are you waiting for? Invest in them and get to enjoy its incredible perks.
