Urdan Industries Ltd. is comprised of several plants supplying local and overseas markets with steel and ferrous castings, suspension parts for armored vehicles and steel fabricated products for industrial and military applications. The company is recognized as a leading supplier of armored products to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and other armies in the western world. The company is committed to quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction, meets ISO 9002 standards and is certified to supply the US Armed Forces and IDF.
KIM Diaphragm Valves are sold in Israel, U.K., Germany, Austria, Italy, France, The Scandinavian countries, Portugal, Morocco, USA, South Africa, Australia, and the Asia Pacific region.
KIM manufactures two kinds of industrial valves for both the chemical and water industries:
Diaphragm Valves (Both Weir Type and Straight Through Type).
Butterfly Valves, Wafer Type. KIM Diaphragm Valves are known for their benefits in corrosion and abrasion resistance, offering features of leak tightness and low cost maintenance in severe service applications. The valves are based on simple operating principles and have recently become more widely used by process engineers as a result of the increased range of diaphragms and body lining materials.
KIM Diaphragm Valves are cast in grey cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel, bronze, stainless steel and other various alloys. The range of linings includes various elastomers, glass, plastic linings (PFA, ETFE, PP, and PVDF) as well as fluoro-polymer coatings including halar (ECTFE) and Tefzel (ETFE). A wide selection of diaphragms to suit various demands completes the manual valve package. All Valves' “N” Bonnets are standard with stainless steel spindles, position indication and tamper proof over-closure protection.
KIM B-5 Butterfly valves, Wafer Type are made of cast iron body with a vulcanized EPDM rubber liner for temperatures up to 110° C (230° F). The valves have a ductile iron disk coated with porcelain enamel to stand polluted and aggressive media. This provides a smooth surface and edge for a long seat life and low closing torque with non-adherence to mineral deposits.
