Application of imported valves in the soda ash process

Thread Content

Dear heroes from Haichuan, I have an urgent request. Specifically: In the soda ash industry, which locations would require the use of imported valves, such as ball valves and butterfly valves? What are their respective uses? I’m extremely grateful, dear sir/madam. . . . . . . . . . .

There are differences between domestic and imported products, but it still depends on what product you’re using. Many imported valves are manufactured in China and then resold domestically. Don’t spend money just to get the word “imported”. The quality of domestic valves isn’t necessarily inferior to that of foreign ones; nor are foreign valves necessarily better than domestic ones. The so-called “foreign monks are better at chanting scriptures” essentially means this. We once imported a valve and sent it to a customer. The customer gave very poor feedback, saying that it had problems all the time. :Phenomenon: Currently, many well-known valve manufacturers abroad adopt an agency system. However, the technical capabilities of many agents are relatively weak, which leads to difficulties in providing after-sales services. At present, an increasing number of domestic valve manufacturers are striving to improve the quality of their products; concurrently, prices have also risen (in my opinion, this is inevitable). Suppose that in a given project, both domestically produced and imported valves compete against each other. If market feedback indicates that the domestically produced valves perform better than the imported ones, have a longer lifespan, are priced slightly lower (not by much), and come with better after-sales service, which would you choose—domestic or imported valves? Ignoring business considerations, if you choose domestic products, would you still try hard to negotiate a lower price? If imported valve distributors offer you hefty kickbacks, while domestic ones offer none or very few, what would your choice be? 1. The hygienic grade refers to meeting the requirements such as GMP (or FDA) and US 3A certification, as well as hygiene permits. 2. The requirements for this hygienic grade include material specifications; at a minimum, stainless steel is required, and generally 316L is used. On one hand, there’s the polishing accuracy; in other words, certain requirements must be met regarding surface finish, with a minimum value of 0.8 Ra. 4. Another aspect is the processing requirements; there must be no dead corners. All internal surfaces must be smooth. The products of our company can fully meet the requirements of domestic high-end industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, cosmetics, and brewing. Phone: 400-6806-023
