Question by: Terry C on Sep 24, 2025, 8:45 PM
Can this valve handle the kinda work you see in a die casting operation, with all the pressure and whatnot?
Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 26, 2025, 9:29 AM
For die casting and foundry work, this Vickers directional control valve is definitely suitable, as well as for machine tools, presses, and even marine/offshore equipment.
Question by: Pete W on Mar 29, 2026, 1:48 PM
Flow rate on this thing is listed at 700 liters per minute, is that gonna hold up running a press line or are we talking more of a peak number?
Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 31, 2026, 7:59 AM
700 liters per minute is the rated flow for this valve, so for press applications that's well within what it was built to handle. Press work is actually one of the core use cases for this model, along with die casting, machine tools, and similar high-demand industrial environments. As long as your system is sized to match that flow capacity, you shouldn't run into any surprises on a press line.
