Valve supplier SPX Flow has released a series of step-by-step video guides to help customers maintain its products.

The APV Delta RUF check valve maintenance videos walk the viewer through every stage of valve disassembly, seal removal and replacement, and reassembly.

The APV Delta RUF check valve is used where the prevention of backflow of product is critical to the production process.

The non-return valve offers high operational assurance in a compact design and is widely used across the brewery, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Designed for easy maintenance, the valve has robust bearings and profile seals that eliminate any gaps through which product could leak.

The videos explain the tools and processes needed to ensure correct maintenance without damaging the valve.

These procedures are vital to ensuring continued operational safety and longevity of the valve, according to the company.
