VM6000
Repair in-line valves with 2.5 - 13
inch (63.5 - 330.2 mm) diameter
pressure seal bores
The Model VM6000 Portable Valve Repair
Machine makes on-site repair of a wide
range of valves prac-
tical. The Model
VM6000 is a “generic”
valve repair machine
that mounts on and
bores the
throat area of
any valve the
mounting
fixtures can
attach to.
Remove
the valve
bonnet
assembly to
allow access
to the valve
throat,
machine
a weld
prep groove, apply a weld
buildup as necessary in the eroded area,
and bore out the valve throat to its original
dimensions.
VM7000
Repair a safety valve in
about the same time it
would take to remove the
damaged valve.
The Model VM7000 is designed to
mount directly on safety valves and
rework nozzles up to 4 inches (101.6
mm) in diameter. The VM7000 will
mount on Dresser Consolidated
Maxi-Flow valves, orifice sizes 1
through 6, and on many
Crosby Safety Valves.
By eliminating downtime and
spare valve inventory costs,
you can probably pay for the
Model VM7000 by repairing just a
few valves in-line.
VM8000
Repair corroded seal areas on-site
with the valve in-line.
The VM8000 is designed for on-site
remachining of seats and seal areas of
Fisher and Dresser Masoneilan (or any
other, similar type) control valves. The
machine mounts directly on the valve
and bores throat areas from 2.5 - 10
inches (63.5 - 254 mm) in diameter.
With the Model VM8000 Valve Repair
Machine, the repair operation consists of
removing the valve bonnet and stem
assembly,
applying a stainless
weld buildup in the valve seat and seal
areas and remachining to the
manufacturer’s original specifications.
The original in-line welds are not disturbed
and need no recertification.
