The range of Mapag valves increases productivity, minimizes security risk and optimizes the cost of advanced processesOn October 1, Metso will celebrate 90 years of success for its Mapag product brand of valves at the Metso Valve Technology Center in Horgau, Germany. This range of butterfly valves has been especially valued internationally in all types of challenging industrial applications thanks to its exceptional reliability and low life cycle costs.
One of Metso's strong family of valve product brands, Mapag, has developed over the years into a product brand well known for its high performance and specialty valves for safety areas in industrial plants. These valves improve process efficiency in applications in the oil & gas, industrial gas, chemical and petrochemical industries, offshore, and in power plants.
Demand for these valves has been continuing to grow as raw materials and energy sources are becoming scarcer and costs continue to rise. The range of Mapag valves increases productivity, minimizes security risk and optimizes the cost of advanced processes.
The current range of butterfly valves covers operating temperatures from -270 °C (-454 °F) up to +1,450 °C (+2,642 °F) and works reliably in high pressures from a vacuum up to 400 bar (5,800 psi).
The Metso Valve Technology Center in Germany is well equipped especially with refrigeration technology. Valves are tested to ensure they comply with both cryogenic and thermal shock tests that meet the latest international standards.
Three core values that the Metso Mapag product brand will continue to offer customers are customization through continuous innovation for a wide range of applications, reliability with advanced performance, and strong partnership through operational savings. By further focusing on these values, customers can be assured that their needs will continue to be met as they face ever more challenging operating environments and strive to lower their costs of operation.
During the celebration on October 1, visitors are invited to an opportunity tour the factory, which is one of the largest industrial employers in the region.
