SAMSON, a leading manufacturer of industrial valves, has engineered the new Type 251GR product line to tackle market challenges. Presented to the public for the first time during the ACHEMA 2024 trade show, this new valve generation sets new standards for the process industry in terms of efficiency, modularity and sustainability. The new valve is part of SAMSON's global production strategy for a faster delivery performance worldwide. SAMSON's new valve construction is aimed at all users of control valves, especially in the target markets of oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals as well as power and energy.
251GR signals the launch of the innovative Shared Modular System (SMS), which allows valves to be custom-engineered based on the modular platform. SAMSON is breaking new ground with this innovative modular system, which will make it easier to install, service and operate these valves.
Dr. Andreas Widl, CEO of SAMSON: "Thanks to our Shared Modular System, the Type 251GR Valve can cover an unusually wide spectrum of applications in the process industry. It also allows us to significantly reduce the number of components, complexity and lead times within our own value chain. The valve trims at the last stage of valve assembly are selected based on the application and process conditions. These trims are made using the latest manufacturing methods, such as 3D printing, to meet customers' exact needs."
The fundamental components of the valve, such as body or bonnet, remain unchanged while the possible range of application is regulated by the subordinate parts used in the valve. This makes it much easier to install, start-up and service these valves. Furthermore, this approach also makes it easier to comply with complex regulations and fulfill certification requirements. Along with that, a uniform IT infrastructure facilitates the management and administration of production and work procedures for international suppliers.
"We have established a global standard that every local supplier site can implement to match its specific resources," adds Dr. Andreas Widl to highlight the benefits for SAMSON customers worldwide. The smart distribution of orders to different production sites across the world brings products closer to their place of destination. Standardized, result-driven specifications for R&D, manufacturing, assembly and quality assurance additionally increase process efficiency. "Shorter delivery times, greater customer satisfaction and a leaner administration are the results."
The Type 251GR Valve is a versatile control solution for the process industry. With pressure ratings up to Class 900/PN 160 and temperatures from –50 to +600 °C, it serves a wide range of applications to control liquids, gases and vapors under challenging conditions. The rugged new construction can handle all common engineering requirements imposed by the markets. Other successor models, which are currently being developed, will be engineered to cover an even wider scope of applications.
