About AVK

AVK Syntec Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of the internationally operating AVK Group, is specialised in the production of high-grade PE valves and components. The manufacturing process includes injection moulding, machining, welding and testing.

The PE valves are produced in a modern and well equipped manufacturing facility. State of the art machinery is used to guarantee a consistent high quality. Traceability is maintained throughout the complete manufacturing process from the initial injection moulding of the components through machining, welding and final batch release testing. Every valve is given a unique serial number which can be traced as far back as the raw polyethylene material. The Quality Management System complies with the latest ISO standards.

The robust PE valves have been extensively and independently type tested against worldwide leading standards and also undergone additional tests over and above those required in the specifications. This ensures an outstanding performance in the most harsh environments for PE pipe systems.

AVK Plastics is part of the internationally renowned AVK Group. Within the AVK Group, AVK Plastics is the competence centre for high quality synthetic products. By means of an automated injection moulding process at the production facility in Balk (The Netherlands), tonnes of plastics are processed daily into high quality pallets, surface boxes and other products.

Extensive market knowledge, modern production techniques and use of the latest design software make AVK Plastics a professional and reliable partner for synthetic surface boxes and pallets manufactured for the European market. Offering complete system solutions worldwide and maintaining local commitment.

As a global leader, it is our obligation to keep pushing the boundaries of what the market can expect. In our business there are five cornerstones that must be in place in order to meet customer expectations.

Quality

Construction & material selection

AVK Syntec ball valves are made of high grade materials. For the sealing high quality and durable NBR rubber is used. A careful choice has been made to use high quality PE100 material for body and spigots, ensuring 100% welding compatibility to all PE100 and PE80 pipes and fittings. The ball is made out of an engineering plastic with high scratch resistance and smooth surface finishing contributing to low operating torques. Next to this, the chemical resistance to a very wide range of media is covered.

The main internal construction of the ball valves is based on a clever engineered seat arrangement for realiable sealing performance. By means of a seat retainer, the ball seat is firmly kept in place. Spigots and body are connected by a proven and reliable butt welding technique. For the welding, the leading DVS2207-1 guidelines are strictly followed. The skimming and welding steps are performed by fully automated welding stations, guaranteeing ultimate consistency of the ball valves. The grease has been selected after numerous tests to achieve maximum ease of operation.

Approvals & testing

AVK PE ball valves are type tested by an independent accredited laboratory according worldwide leading standards such as EN1555-4, ISO4437-4. EN12201-4, GIS/V7-2 and GB/T 15558.4. During type testing, the valves are not only submitted to various long and short term leaktightness checks, but also to rigorous pulling, bending and thermal cycling tests. The operating mechanism meets or exceeds high prescribed torques at extreme temperatures.

The advanced in-house testing equipment enables AVK Syntec to make synthetic valves of the highest quality. Each valve is tested for operating torque and leaktightness at low and high pressure. Besides, per batch, valves undergo hydrostatic strength testing (at elevated temperatures) to confirm long term performance.
