As a key component in industrial automation, electric valves are widely used in scenarios with high requirements for hygiene, safety, and precision control, such as food processing, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, beverage filling, and cold chain transportation.
The sealing ring is an important part of electric valves to prevent leakage during operation. However, many engineers find in practice that even though "lubricating grease" is used, the sealing rings still frequently age, harden, or even leak. Where exactly is the problem? Today, the editor from Baoxing will sort it out for you.
Five common pain points in lubricating electric valve sealing rings: 1. Not resistant to medium corrosion: The lubricating grease reacts with the controlled liquid or gas, leading to failure and leakage. 2. Narrow temperature resistance range: It easily flows at high temperatures and hardens at low temperatures, greatly reducing the sealing performance. 3. Insufficient lubrication: The sealing ring undergoes long-term dry friction, accelerating wear and shortening its service life. 4. Material incompatibility: Mismatched lubricating grease can cause the sealing ring to swell, deform, or even break. 5. Lack of long-term effectiveness: The grease tends to dry up or be washed away by the medium, resulting in frequent maintenance and increased costs. Baoxing Lubricants has developed food-grade silicone lubricating grease specifically for the sealing and lubrication of electric valves. It has excellent high and low temperature resistance, adapts to complex environments, and has good chemical inertness, which can come into contact with various foods, drinking water, and pharmaceuticals.
It has strong compatibility with common sealing ring materials, low volatility, anti-aging properties, and a long lubrication cycle, reducing maintenance frequency. It also meets the NSF H1 certification, ensuring the safety of equipment and products. Baoxing provides customized product services, can deliver samples of lubricating grease, and design oil application schemes and improvement suggestions for you. Welcome to call for consultation!
