356 Trunion Valve offers control of chemicals on field, highway, or roadside with trunion design
The 356 Trunion Valve was developed by the Mobile Systems Division of Spraying Systems Co. to control the application of agricultural chemicals in crop production. The high flow rate and corrosion resistance also makes it ideal for fertilizer applications and the application of de-icing solutions and other highway and roadside spraying applications. The trunion design maintains the ball in the center of the valve using upper and lower bearings. This reduces the chances of stem leakage. A unique "spoon"-style ball has sealing on one side only. The result is half the number of sealing components to wear out, and no "dead" areas to trap liquid and contaminants that can degrade the shut-off quality. The quick-release drive head is completely sealed and welded to eliminate leakage. The gear motor uses double wall construction to ensure permanent lubrication and add strength. The electronics are encapsulated for superior corrosion resistance.
