| Our Method | Conventional Methods | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Aspect | Portable Valve Grinding (PVG) | Lapping | Lathe |
| Recommended by OEMs | Recommended method | Barred by almost all OEMs | Commonly used |
| Purpose | Grinding for precise contact between valve and valve seat | Removal of pitting & surface damages | Grinding for surface finish and precision |
| Disadvantages |
– May not match quality of other methods – Time-saving (2-4 hours per valve seat) – Single line contact for increased surface area |
– Not recommended by OEMs – Time-consuming – Potential for user negligence affecting valve guides and stem life |
– Thermal cracks possible – Operator-dependent precision – Aging machines may hamper quality |
| Precision | Precise | Less precise | Precise |
| Impact on Valve Life | Improves valve and valve seat contact for enhanced life | May compromise remaining salvage life due to pitting allowances | May impact salvage life due to thermal cracks |
| Contact Area | Single line contact for increased contact surface area | Diffused contact surface | Focused contact area |
| Time Efficiency | Time-saving, typically saves 2-4 hours per valve seat | Time-consuming, many hours per valve seat | Time-consuming, but varies |
| Safety and Quality | Improved quality, safety, and reliability | May compromise safety due to user negligence | Quality dependent on operator and machine condition |
| Machine Capacity | Stem diameter up to mm, Valve disc diameter up to 250 mm |
| Air Pressure | 0,6 – 0,8 MPa (6-8 BAR OR 85-130 psi) |
| Air Consumption | 700 l/min |
| Weight | Basic machine with case: 28 kgs, Accessories with case: 15-25 kgs |
| Max Dimensions | Cases (LxWxH): 415x400x250 mm |
| Air Hose Connection | 12,5 mm (1/2″) |
| Noise Level | 76 dB(A) / 75 dB(C) |
| Grinding Speed | 2 mm/min (along the valve face) |
