FCRV Ceramic C Valve

KOWOV manufactures the FCRV ceramic C rotary valve for on-off and control duties in viscous, caking, scaling, crystallizing and large-particle media in TiO₂, salt chemical and pulp and paper plants. It uses a concentric C-shaped rotor with upper and lower support shafts, a geometry that keeps the stem outside the primary erosion path at small openings

Size range
DN50-400
Pressure rating
PN10-160 / Class 150-900
Temperature range
-40 to 456 °C

Product overview

  • FCRV CERAMIC C ROTARY VALVE (3)
  • The ball crown stays in contact with the seat and shears adhered material from the sealing pair. Ceramic self-lubrication limits sticking. Upper and lower support shafts locate the C-rotor and carry process thrust; the stem transmits opening and closing torque

Design and construction

  • Special C-type structure design with ball core mechanically connected and embedded by C-type lugs and ceramic ball crown, protecting lugs from erosion
    The concentric design keeps the ceramic ball crown in contact with the seat so it can scrape adhered material from the sealing surface
    C-type lugs directly bear rotational torque, suited to harsh conditions with crystallization, scaling, caking, high solid content, and clogging
    Cavity-free design prevents material accumulation inside the valve
    Fixed ball design prevents ball core movement under pressure, resulting in low operating torque, achieving ANSI Class VI sealing
    All process-wetted flow passages are ceramic-lined
    Anti-blowout stem design ensures valve safety and reliability
