Shutoff and flow control valves are used throughout asphalt plant fuel and air systems, and they need to work every time. Series 600 lubricated plug valves are a common choice for these applications because they offer quick operation and reliable sealing under harsh conditions.

Motion Engineering supplies Series 600 lubricated plug valves for asphalt plants and other heavy-duty applications where reliable shutoff is critical.

What a Series 600 Lubricated Plug Valve Does

A lubricated plug valve uses a tapered metal plug that rotates inside the valve body to open or shut off flow. A layer of injected sealant reduces friction and helps create a tight seal between the plug and the valve body.

These valves are commonly used for:

  • Fuel gas systems, such as natural gas and propane
  • Liquid asphalt and oil handling
  • Air and process flow control
  • Applications that require a quick quarter-turn operation
  • They are a practical option anywhere consistent shut-off and low operating resistance are important.

Built for Industrial and Asphalt Plant Use

Series 600 lubricated plug valves are designed for industrial service and are widely used in asphalt plants because they can handle both gas and liquid applications without complex maintenance.

These valves are designed with features that make them reliable in day-to-day operation:

  • Quarter-turn operation for fast opening and closing
  • Sealant injection that creates a tight seal to help prevent leaks
  • Metal-to-metal seating for long-term durability
  • Low operating torque compared to many other valve types
  • Multiple ports and connection options to match different system layouts

They are available in a range of sizes, pressure ratings, and configurations depending on the application.

Where These Valves Are Used in Asphalt Plants

In asphalt plants and industrial settings, Series 600 lubricated plug valves are commonly installed in:

  • Burner fuel supply lines
  • Gas distribution piping
  • Liquid asphalt and oil systems
  • Isolation points for maintenance and safety

Their ability to provide quick shutoff and consistent sealing makes them a dependable choice in both control and isolation applications.

Why Plants Choose Lubricated Plug Valves

Compared to other valve types, lubricated plug valves are often chosen because they:

  • Open and close quickly with a simple quarter turn
  • Provide reliable sealing in both gas and liquid service
  • Require less maintenance in many applications
  • Handle high-use environments well
  • Offer a practical balance between cost and performance

For many asphalt plants, they are a straightforward and proven solution.
