SMC ball valves are corrosion resistant and lightweight. They were the first ball valve made of FRP that succeeded after many failed trials due to the material's strengths. Key technologies include eliminating friction between parts, strengthening watertightness with O-rings, and adding metal reinforcements for durability. SMC ball valves have excellent chemical resistance, durability, productivity and cost benefits compared to PVC and stainless steel valves. They have found applications in industries like shipbuilding, construction, and chemical plants.

the ball and matrix and, by strengthening Prevention of product damage and screw
the watertightness by putting an O-ring between abrasion through the improvement of the
them instead, to prevent the ball and matrix durability of the resin in the area the
from being worn and to use after a simple largest force is applied by putting metal
repair or replacement of the defective part. reinforcements into the inside of the shaft.
Strengths of FRP
(Corrosion resistance, heat insulation, lightweight and low heat deformation rate)
-All development has been ended in a failure due to the above strengths even a lot of trials have been made.
-Valve finally succeeded in the development of the product for the first time in the world by overcoming the same
failure experiences.

3. Core Technologies
-developed a resin resistant to a pure hydrochloric acid for the first time in the world.
Acid Resistant -Excellent in chemical resistance through the melting of thermo-hardening resin (SMC)
and heat press foaming
-Developed a ball valve not frozen and burst for the first time in the world.
Durability -Rated as excellent in abrasion resistance more than 3 times more than PVC valve
proved in the durability and vibration resistance test
excellent in economics and suitable for use in shipbuilding, construction of building, etc.
Product Innovation as it is lightweight of 1/5 of an existing metal valve, suitable for use in the sea-bed
as it is salt resistant and suitable to be used as an underwater valve as it is rust free.

Yoke pin
Guide ring
pad
1) Yoke part: It, through the design to combine H-beam shape and ribs for preventing yoke
deformation together, prevents a crack produced due to a concentrated load by evenly spreading the
load applied when an equipment is operating and realizes the extension of a product life by
minimizing the deformation developed by aging even use for a long time. According to the outcome
from our internal test, it satisfied the run of 1.6 million times and this product is currently under the
durability test by a Japanese company.
2) Yoke pin assembly: Apart from the way of forcible insertion, it is designed the pin is assembled
smoothly and the rupture of the driving yoke is prevented and the loss of the pin is also permanently
prevented at the same time by placing a retaining ring.
3) Guide ring and pad: It enables to keep the best operation condition for a certain period of time
without applying lubricant by adding molybdenum to the material to make operation smooth and a
clip feature has been also added in order to prevent the accessories from falling off.

8. - Core Technology 2
4) Crank and shaft: By adopting a broach method different from the existing press method in order to
increase the precision in the operation, the flow tolerance and driving noise has been drastically reduced
and the product life has been extended.
5) the symmetry design of all parts makes it possible to minimize the number of the parts to be stocked
and maximize a production capacity.
6) It also provides convenience in maintenance service required when the product is damaged, broken or
lost, which happens in the field from time to time.
