CASE STUDY
A polypropylene reactor let-down service struggled to keep its crucial-service valves working. After spending $5,000 a week attempting to maintain operating standards, it called Cornerstone. Cornerstone’s solids-proof design was selected as a style replacement. Special scraper seat faces clean the ball every 5 minutes it cycles – preventing product from jamming the valve components and building on the ball. The result: elimination of a weekly maintenance cost of $5000 for 22 installed valves. Cornerstone model SB-2 valves have been in continuous service for the client for more than 8 years. |
