The ceramic/steel ball valve manufactured by CeramTec-ETEC GmbH was nominated for the Design Award 2010 of the Federal Republic of Germany by the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology. The Design Award was conceived to reward outstanding achievements in the field of product design for serial products of all industrial sectors. Decisive factors for appraisal are, for example, technical and creative innovation, fitness for use, benefits for mankind and sustainability.
An independent and compentent ten member jury decides on which product is awarded.
CeramTec-ETEC’s ball valve, awarded several times in the past, takes advantage of the outstanding properties of two high-quality materials: the ball valve consists of steel, and the passage area is protected by a high-performance ceramic sleeve made of ALOTEC. The synergy effect: whereas theand the ceramic lining housing effortlessly absorbs the driving power, the ceramic lining ensures efficient wear protection. Compared to other standard solutions, this highly hard-wearing design substantially helps reduce costs. It can be integrated into existing equipment at any time.
CeramTec-ETEC has a leading position worldwide as a supplier of top technological solutions for industrial wear and corrosion protection for industrial equipment, and of components for body and vehicle armor, based on high-performance ceramics.
