Butterfly Valve Repair
Cross Company Butterfly Valve Repair
Butterfly valves are necessary components in many industrial processes, providing reliable and efficient control over the flow of fluids. And like any mechanical equipment, they experience wear and tear over the course of normal operation. This can lead to reduced performance or even potentially valve failure. Even one butterfly valve failing can cause significant damage to assets (and can even be a danger to your personnel).
At Cross Company Process Solutions, we want to prevent that from happening. As a trusted source of industrial solutions for process application, we offer butterfly valve repair services tailored to the unique needs of your facility or your application.
In many cases, regular maintenance can prevent catastrophic failure and subsequent unexpected downtime, equipment damage, or injury to personnel. If your butterfly valve has been underperforming, leaking, or just hasn’t been checked in a while, it may be time to schedule butterfly valve repair and maintenance services from Cross Company.

Benefits of Butterfly Valves
Butterfly valves are widely used in industries such as petrochemical, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and food processing for their versatility and efficiency in controlling the flow of liquids, gases, and slurries. They are known for their simple design, which consists of a disk (the “butterfly”) that rotates to regulate flow within a pipe.
Some advantages of using butterfly valves for your process application include
Rapid Operation
Butterfly valves are able to be rapidly opened or closed. This makes them ideal for applications where rapid flow control is essential
Lower Pressure Drop
Butterfly valves typically create less pressure drop when fully open, optimizing flow rates and reducing energy consumption
High Versatility
Butterfly valves are suitable for a wide range of media within a process, including corrosive substances and abrasive slurries.
Common Issues with Butterfly Valves
Despite many advantages, there are common issues that can occur with butterfly valves over time. This can be due to factors like wear, corrosion, or improper operation. Some common problems include
Leakage – Valve seats and seals can deteriorate, leading to leakage that affects the valve’s ability to seal tightly.
Wear and Tear – Within the valve, the disk, stem, and seals can all experience wear and tear from standard operation, leading to performance degradation and leaks
Corrosion – Continuous exposure to corrosive environments can lead to material damage over time
Stem Seizure – The stem can become stuck due to foreign material ingress, leading to improper valve functionality
