Chemical Processing

Chemical and petrochemical plants handle aggressive media under tightly controlled conditions. Lined and plastic valve bodies, reliable actuation and tight sealing protect both the process and the people around it.

Industry Overview

Reliable Flow Control for Corrosive Media

Chemical and petrochemical plants handle aggressive media under tightly controlled conditions. Lined and plastic valve bodies, reliable actuation and tight sealing protect both the process and the people around it.

DELCO supplies fluorine-lined and PTFE-sealed ball and butterfly valves for acids, alkalis and solvents, with explosion-proof actuators available for hazardous areas.

  • Are you a real valve manufacturer or trading company?

    We are an in-house manufacturer for automated control valves and actuator assemblies. All core processes including casting, CNC machining, assembly and performance testing are completed in our own factory. OEM & ODM services are supported.

  • What is your typical lead-time for standard & custom valves?

    Our standard lead time is 7–15 working days, with expedited options available for urgent projects. For custom valves, the delivery date is confirmed with your quotation once drawings and specifications are approved.

  • Can you manufacture valves according to our drawings or custom specifications?

    Yes. As an OEM & ODM manufacturer we build valves and actuator assemblies to your drawings or specifications – custom painting colour, dimensions, connections, accessories and your own brand. Our engineers also provide 2D & 3D CAD models for your project approval.

  • What test reports come with each valve shipment?

    Every valve passes 100% pressure and function testing before shipment. Depending on the order, documents include pressure and sealing test reports, Material Test Certificates (MTC: chemical analysis, corrosion, mechanical and impact tests) and actuator test reports such as the IP65 protection grade test.

  • What international standards do your valves comply with?

    Our production follows an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and our products carry CE, RoHS and FDA certifications. Valves are tested according to API 598, API 6D, EN 12266-1 or your own specifications.

  • What is your warranty policy?

    DELCO valves come with a 12-month standard warranty covering manufacturing defects, including free parts. Extended service contracts are available on request, backed by 24/7 technical support by phone, email or video call.

  • Do you support small trial orders as well as large-volume projects?

    Yes. We have no minimum order quantity, so you can start with a trial order to check our quality before moving on to volume projects. Samples can be arranged after price confirmation.
