Der er en gylden regel at følge, når man køber en reguleringsventil. Køb ikke på baggrund af ventilens indkøbs pris, kig i stedet på de skjulte omkostninger gennem dens levetid. For at hjælpe dig gennem denne proces har vi udviklet vores Reguleringsventil Guide, som gennem 12 vigtige spørgsmål gør det muligt for dig at finde frem til en ventil, der giver lang tids værdi og reducerer totalomkostningerne.
Every Production and Maintenance Manager should ask themselves the following questions during the purchasing process.
It’s vital to reduce costly production delays and release maintenance resource for other productivity critical duties.
The complexity of valve maintenance and required skill level of the operator is a key factor when maintaining the valve, helping to reduce cost of ownership.
Some complex valves will require removal from the line for servicing at external provider with the necessary equipment and skills.
Simple valves, designed with the Operations and Maintenance teams in mind do not require any special skills or off-site input, reducing staff training costs, delays and errors during servicing.
Control valves should deliver years of reliable service before major maintenance is required, such as replacing the valve seat – the longer the service interval, the lower the cost of ownership.
Process requirements change. Valves that can be easily reconfigured to suite changed conditions save the cost of purchasing and installing new valves.
A valve supplier with local support in many countries can respond quickly to enquiries, breakdowns and spares requests.
A supplier with a high level of technical knowledge about the products and customer applications can ensure the correct product is supplied.
Products that are incorrectly specified do not offer smooth and accurate control and will have a reduced lifetime requiring maintenance or complete replacement at shorter intervals.
