Thousands of customers have chosen Plattco Double Flap Airlock® Valves to reduce maintenance time, increase efficiency and lower costs.

Companies trust Plattco for valves that:

ensure a reliable, long lasting seal ... even when the material is abrasive or corrosive, pressurized or subject to extreme temperatures,
are easy and inexpensive to maintain for decades of “like new” operation,
fit their specific applications, using Plattco’s 50 years of experience designing exceptionally performing valves.

Economically & Operationally Better Than Rotary Valves
Plattco valves have been installed in dozens of industries in all 50 states and over 60 countries. Many are purchased in place of rotary valves by bottom-line oriented managers who insist on valves that require less maintenance and improved productivity.

Plattco provides a long-term solution to airlock wear by eliminating the rotary action of other valves. The body of the valve is not a sealing surface. All our bodies are cast in alloys specifically designed for the valve application. They are long-life units that are designed to provide many years of maintenance-free service.

The seats and flappers, which provide the critical seal, are cast and machined of wear-resistant alloys that can be reground two to three times to provide the same level of seal performance each time. They can be replaced quickly and easily without disassembling the valve or taking it out of line, using Plattco’s unique Easy Maintenance Technology.

Our valve designs eliminate bridging and clogging to maximize operating efficiency. For elevated temperatures, abrasive materials or high pressure differentials, Plattco is the respected leader around the world as the standard for valve excellence.
