quarter-turn valves in which a cylindrical or conical plug with a through-opening rotates within a precisely matched body. A 90\u00b0 rotation opens or completely shuts off the flow. Although the operating principle may seem straightforward at first glance, a high-quality plug valve requires significant engineering expertise and material knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Modern plug valves are designed as maintenance-friendly shut-off valves without external lubrication, making use of advanced liner and sealing materials. Unlike older lubricated systems, these valves rely on precision tolerances and high-performance polymers to ensure durable and leak-tight operation.<\/p>\n<p>Their greatest added value lies in applications involving \u201cdifficult media\u201d: hazardous, toxic, corrosive, crystallizing or polymerizing products. Thanks to their design with minimal dead spaces and a sufficiently large bore, they limit buildup, adhesion and clogging, which is essential for process reliability.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e871422 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e871422\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c47b47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9c47b47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1374\" height=\"1179\" src=\"https:\/\/vct.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/overige-appendages-5.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-5700\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vct.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/overige-appendages-5.png 1374w, https:\/\/vct.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/overige-appendages-5-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/vct.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/overige-appendages-5-1024x879.png 1024w, https:\/\/vct.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/overige-appendages-5-768x659.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1374px) 100vw, 1374px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab447ae e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ab447ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7e742b elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"c7e742b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

This configuration combines low friction with high chemical resistance.<\/li>\n<li>Fully lined plug valves (Teflon-lined): Both the body and the plug are completely lined with a fluoropolymer. This prevents any metal contact with the medium and provides maximum protection against corrosion.<\/li>\n<li>Multiport plug valves: Designs with multiple ports (e.g. 3-way or 4-way) for switching, mixing or diverting flows within complex installations.<\/li>\n<li>Fire-safe designs: Engineered to maintain a minimum level of sealing under extreme conditions such as fire, in accordance with applicable standards.<\/li>\n<li>Jacketed plug valves: In this case, the body is equipped with an external jacket (for steam, oil or another medium) to maintain the product temperature and thus prevent solidification, crystallization or viscosity-related issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The selection of the type strongly depends on the combination of medium, temperature, pressure and operating
