Bridge structures – which we also manufacture - are often huge. But this kind of size is rare for other components.
Just for scale — a Škoda Fabia could easily drive through the open valve.
This time, we completed a goggle valve — a large shut-off valve used for flow control of blast furnace gas in steel production.
Copmpletely designed and manufactured entirely in Ostrava ??, continuing a local tradition here in the Vitkovice district of Ostrava.

Key facts:

• Weight: 32+ tonnes
• Size: 7.5 × 5.4 × 2.1 m
• Heat-resistant -450°C, inside lining and outside coating
• Electric & hydraulic drive, manual emergency option
• Built for horizontal pipe systems
• Fully tested - pressure, mechanical, hydraulic & greasing before shipment
• Delivered in condition Plug&Play

What’s next?

More goggle valves are already planned — heading to places like Sweden, Germany, and even the USA.
