Rotating disc chokes for severe application still available!

As per first of April this year Emerson has decided to stop the production of the Vonk chokes. Duxvalves manufactures since 2006 the disc type choke and control valves. Many oil-companies, such as Shell, TotalEnergies, Neptune & Wintershall, have approved the Duxvalves worldwide as the alternative for the Vonk chokes.

Compared with the Vonk design the Duxvalve has many features such as:
• Longer Larger rangeability
• Better controllability
• Large capacity trim (as an alternative for a larger sized body due to debottlenecking)
• Low noise trim
• Special water injection trim
• Cage/disc trim
• Modular built up body so easily to adapt existing face to face dimensions.
• Fast track delivery

Benefits are:
• Reducing Operational Expenditure (OPEX – Process Optimization)
• Longer life time
• Reducing spare part consumption
• Avoiding unnecessary down-time and maintenance cost
• Safe and optimal process operation

Also Duxvalves has a team with many years of valve service experience so all disc brands can be serviced.

• Compact
• High quality rigid design
• Carbon steel housing (stainless steel is optional)
• Actuator torque curve fits Dux choke
• Possibility of 2 VDI/VDE connections for separate control/feedback
