Lubrication of valves
Valves with hand-wheel operation
The spindle must always be kept well greased and free of dirt. The greasing points on the hand wheel
bearing must be regreased regularly depending on the conditions of operation and use.
Valves with pneumatic or hydraulic operation
The piston rod should be clean and free of dirt. A self-lubricating rod seal is used as standard with pneumatic
cylinders with damping. All the seals should be replaced if these cylinders leak.
Electrically-operated
valves
The spindle must always be kept well greased and free of dirt. The greasing points on the actuator must be
checked. The respective instructions for use of the actuator manufacturer are binding.
Recommended
lubricants:
Shell Alvania R2, Molikote-Longtherm 2 Plus or equivalent.
6.4 Cleaning
If specified by the customer, the valves can be provided with flushing or blowing facilities in the upper part of
the housing. Depending on the medium to be shut off and with regard to the process in question, the valve
should be flushed or blown during opening and closing.
Depending on the application, the valve plate and plate guides must also be cleaned.
If the valve is seldom operated, and especially in the case of automatic valves, a test run should be made at
least every 3 months to ensure permanent readiness for use and to avoid deposits from becoming baked on.
