A cylinder valve is a shut-off and control valve in which a cylindrical shut-off element opens or closes the flow passage. The flow can be reliably controlled through the rotary movement of the cylinder. The design is particularly suitable for industrial applications involving demanding media.

Swissfluid plug valves are characterized by their dead-space-free design, robust construction, high level of tightness, and durable configuration for demanding process media. The lined design protects the valve against aggressive media and ensures a long service life with reliable operation.

Cylinder cocks are particularly suitable for corrosive, abrasive, and aggressive fluids as well as gaseous media. Typical applications are found in the chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and paper industries, as well as in other process industries with high requirements regarding media resistance and safety.

The choice of the appropriate valve depends on the requirements of the specific application. Cylinder valves offer advantages under certain process conditions, particularly when a robust shut-off and control valve with a compact design and high resistance to aggressive media is required. The cylinder valve ensures flow without dead space and, thanks to its V-port cylinder, offers improved controllability compared to a butterfly valve.

Various housing materials and linings are available depending on the application. Resistant materials such as PFA and other media-compatible materials enable use with demanding process media. The optimal configuration is selected based on the medium, temperature, pressure, and system requirements.
