Dux Choke Valves Australia and Pacific
Dux Severe Service Choke – Control Valves and Actuators are based in the Netherlands. They manufacture choke valves that operate where others fail. The Dux reputation is renowned worldwide making it the king of choke valves. Subsea or surface operation the Dux valve is an operators go to valve. Valve and Flow Control Specialists are the sole regional agent.
If you are using a segmented ball valve as your LCV / PCV etc and getting a long life from it you don’t need Dux. Dux is made for the service not a price. Typically where some other choke valves have lasted 12 hours a Dux replacement has lasted 4 months.
When you consider a Dux valve you have to consider what its going to cost if you don’t.
In severe or critical service it is about total cost of ownership:
Longer valve lifetime
Reduced spares consumption
Slashing downtime duration and costs.
Safe, optimal process operation that you can guarantee on.
For slightly more than a standard disposable choke valve Dux can reward the difference 100 fold in the total.

Features
Flex Flange: Our valves are designed for each unique application considering the actual process data (engineered to order) with flexibility in materials, actuation, trim type and face-to-face dimenions.
Short delivery: Due to the fact that our products are used in critical processes, we are able to guarantee short deliveries with a modular product design and lean processes.
Erosion resistance By using high erosion resistance material our design and material selection is capable of handling severe process conditions, resulting in a longer life-span “meantime-between-failure”
Seat tightness: The sealing surface consists of 2 discs with an eccentric hole or sleeve and is not in contact with the flowing medium. The seat tightness (FCI-70.2 class V/VI) can be guaranteed for a much longer period.
Repairable internals: Due to the quality of materials our internals can be re-used, if the discs are affected by erosion or cavitation. We have the possibility to repair the internals, resulting in a reduction of maintenance time and lower maintenance costs
Easy maintenance: Due to the high erosion resistance, spring-loaded design repair and re-usable internals our valves have an easy maintenance and a limited down-time.
Reduce T.C.O. Using a Dux valve will generate a reduction of the total cost of ownership (TCO), based on longer life cycle, erosion resistance, anti-cavitation trims, repairable internals and low & easy maintenance.
Fugitive emissions: Together with our specialised sub-suppliers Duxvalves has developed a unique seal. The construction of the seal combined with the material selection and our bonnet design results in Low Emissions.
