The problem with traditional valves
Conventional valves operate with dynamic seals that are subject to constant movement and therefore wear. These seals are often exposed to the elements, which can lead to corrosion and leakage. Such leaks not only pose safety risks but also incur high costs. Additionally, dynamic seals require regular maintenance and replacement, further increasing operational costs.
Permanent magnetic couplings
DST uses permanent magnetic couplings that rely on static seals and thus operate without wear. This prevents leaks and enhances the reliability of the valves. The use of static seals eliminates wear parts and significantly reduces maintenance efforts.
Retrofit solutions for existing valves
DST also offers retrofit solutions for existing valve systems. For valves handling corrosive or toxic liquids, a fluid management system can be integrated to prevent leaks. Durable materials in the valve and actuator further contribute to extending the lifespan.
