ARE YOU…………… Spending valuable time maintaining shaft seals on your rotary valves? Spending money on raw materials that end up on the floor? Wasting time and money processing materials that don’t reach the end of the process? Struggling to maintain housekeeping & health & safety standards? Looking for significant productivity improvements? Leaking rotary shaft seals are an ‘age old’ problem that Engineers have been facing for many many years and even though there are a number…
A diverter valve was needed to split the flow of fertiliser from the top of an elevator. Fertiliser tends to build up and form a hard coating so MID designed a diverter to handle this difficult, abrasive, hot and cohesive product. The valve body is made with inspection hatches and is our usual very heavy duty design- the shafts were 100mm diameter and each bearing weighed in at an impressive 25kg- and there were 4…
It weighs 3 tonnes, is designed to be refurbished from the start and has our unique mechanical seals for minimal maintenance. Tata Chemicals uses its own in-house designed rotary valves, manufactured when they were ICI back in the 1950s. The valves have been repaired over and over again and they’re running out of metal to recondition. We have designed a valve to slot straight in but with up to date technology and a design that…
Global chemical manufacturer makes significant savings on the cost of buying new valves every year. MID’s ‘quick clean’ valve is one of the best valves on the market today for its ability to be opened, cleaned and returned to operational production with a minimum of downtime. MID’s focus has always been on designing valves with long operational lives, providing an extremely low cost of valve ownership but this cost can be further reduced through refurbishing…
A company in Kent needed to replace one of their worn 24” Butterfly valves at their incinerator, but rather than replacing it with the exact same design as the one that was worn, they approached MID to see if we could offer any advice on designing a version that suffered less wear and would therefore offer a prolonged operational life……… Datasheet An incinerator in Kent was looking to replace one of their 24” flanged butterfly…
Recycling waste materials generated from production processes is becoming more and more important in driving down production costs and saving money on unnecessary raw materials. The UK’s leading plasterboard manufacturer were looking to recycle some of their materials that were ‘trimmed’ from their finished product and approached MID for advice on the best type of equipment that could help them achieve this. Datasheet Eliminating waste and increasing production efficiencies are paramount in today’s fiercely competitive…
