In late 2022, SAF's engineering team was asked to combine two different trim designs (from two different 16” SlurryFlo control valves) into a single design that works in both applications. These valves also have different stroke lengths, which the new design accommodates.
The trims have now been in service for 15 months (at an oil sands facility in Alberta, Canada). Routine inspection photos indicate that the new (and improved!) design is trending to last longer than the previous units, which remained in service for two years.
The client is definitely pleased with the performance and thrilled with the simplified inventory management!
