ARI USA Offers Zetrix High-Performance Process Valve

ARI-Armaturen USA, a leader in industrial fluid control solutions, highlights the Zetrix series of metal-seated process valves. Engineered for durability, safety, and zero-leakage performance, Zetrix valves are designed demanding service conditions involving temperature extremes, pressure swings and severe mechanical stress.

Zetrix valves feature a thermal balancing, self-aligning seat ring that guarantees zero leakage, even at elevated temperatures or during rapid thermal cycling. A stellite seat comes standard, providing long-lasting protection against wear and erosion. Designed with maintenance in mind, each valve requires fewer spare parts than comparable models. The standard spare parts kit includes a lamellar seal ring, graphite packing unit, and two spiral-wound gaskets for simplified inventory and service planning.

The Zetrix design features long shaft extension, allowing for continuous insulation without any “cut-in” around the valve body. The packing gland is located outside of the insulation layer, eliminating the need to remove insulation during maintenance. This configuration reduces unwanted heat transfer to the operating gear and prevents insulation from trapping process heat against the actuator or handwheel.

To ensure stable operation under vibration and dynamic loads, Zetrix valves are equipped with a wedge-shaped, self-locking retaining ring secured with Nord-Lock washers as standard, providing an added layer of mechanical safety and reliability.

Zetrix valves are ideal for industries that demand high-integrity isolation and minimal downtime, such as chemical processing, power generation and high-pressure steam systems. Available in a variety of configurations, Zetrix meets international standards.
