Orbit Plug Valve
High Performance • Durable • Leak Proof
Orbit Plug Valve for tight shut-off, low wear, and reliable high-pressure pipeline isolation.
An orbit plug valve uses a controlled lift-and-rotate movement that separates the plug from the seat before rotation and returns it into the seat during closing. An Orbit Plug Valve Suppliers in Algeria, African Valve supplies this design for oil, gas, chemical and industrial isolation where reduced seat friction, low operating torque and dependable sealing are required. Key Features Lift-and-Rotate Action: Separates the plug from the seat before rotation. Reduced Seat Friction: Minimises rubbing between the plug and seat. Low Operating Torque: Reduced friction supports easier operation. Positive Seating: Controlled movement brings the plug into the seat. Full / Reduced Port: Available according to valve configuration. Manual / Actuated: Suitable for gearbox and automated operation. High-Pressure Options: Available for demanding process services.
