With a collective 80 years experience in the industrial valves industry, our team have seen many occasions where valves have been crudely maintained or incorrectly specified which can, and has proven very costly.
We have seen the pain when continually failing valves are causing Engineers headaches, and keeping them awake at night.
We will listen to plant issues, and work with you to find the right solution, be that valve overhaul or replacement.
We will specify and sell the right valve that works for your process.
We will react when you need us.
WE ARE VALVWORX LTD.
Valve breakdowns are common place and high up on the list of painful problems for Plant Operators and Maintenance Managers.
Incorrect or inferior materials, or the wrong valve selection are the main reasons behind valves being unsuitable for what are generally severe processes.
This is not only time consuming and costly, but as we target net zero by 2050, we need to cut down on waste and emissions NOW.
We can help with advice, specification, valve maintenance & repair solutions and supply to ensure valves are suitable for the process they are intended for, and last longer in service.
'We've ALWAYS done it that way' is not ALWAYS the right solution.
We were recently asked to specify a replacement Triple Offset Butterfly Valve.
By first requesting confirmation of the process conditions (media, working pressure and temperature), we were able to determine that the valve that has been used for ALWAYS was hugely over specified.
Therefore a valve and actuator that had been quoted by other companies at between £12,000 and £13,000 with a 16 week delivery time, has now been quoted as a standard rubber lined Butterfly Valve including a site specific actuator, installed and working perfectly within 8 weeks of enquiry, with a saving of over £8,000.
As a valve supplier, we are here to help you save time and money, by offering cost saving solutions.
Valvworx recently received an urgent request to attend site, due to our customer being unable to close a Control Valve. This particular valve plays a crucial role, feeding stock to a downstream plant, and a quick intervention prevented a prolonged shutdown, potentially costing £thousands.
One I/E Engineer on plant stated, “It was appreciated that Valvworx were onsite within 2 hours of the phone call to support our site team in diagnosing the potential problem with the control valve prior to it being removed from plant. Rectification works then saw it returned to site within 24 hours of the initial phone call to Valvworx. With Valvworx being local to site, response and repair times were reduced keeping the plant offline for the shortest period possible”
There is no record of any maintenance being carried out on this valve since installation in 2015.
Good result for the manufacturer right?
9 years in service before a failure!
However a failure will happen eventually, unless we carry out PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE measures.
Would you leave your car 9 years without servicing it? A car is considered a crucial part of many people’s lives, so of course it would be serviced regularly. This is called PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, to make sure life can continue with minimal interruption, though as we know, a service can’t account for hitting a pothole and shattering your suspension.
The same goes for valves in service.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE should be considered for CRITICAL valves that are constantly in the thick of it, in a high cycle process, and could potentially cost businesses thousands in the event of a failure during production. These valves should be included in a planned outage or shutdown, to significantly reduce the chance of failure and substantial losses.
We’d be delighted to discuss your preventative maintenance / corrective maintenance / asset management / outage plans with you.
And if your valves should hit one of those ‘potholes’ along the way, have a spare available, or make sure you have a friendly, helpful, local valve repair company ready to get you out of trouble.
