Blow molding is a manufacturing process where hollow plastic items are formed - in this case, plastic bottles. This specific blow molding machine uses an externally controlled (air operated) co-ax valve to operate. The air (500 psi) flows from port B to port A to form the bottle; once the plastic bottle is formed, the valve closes and the air is exhausted from port A to port C through a muffler.
Blow molding of plastic bottles requires air pressure control that is exact, repeatable and fast acting. Downtime can be devastating and have a costly impact to all manufacturers. Most conventional valves struggle to offer accuracy, repeatability and fast actuation for the toughest applications. As a result, premature failures and operational problems can occur. These can easily be prevented by using a co-ax valve.
The externally controlled (air operated) co-ax® valve is pressure balanced with operating conditions that can be customized with suitable seat and seal materials for virtually any applications. They are designed to be low maintenance and durable for a wide variety of applications, making them the best choice for systems that require high performance and reliable valves with predictable opening and closing speeds.

Why are co-ax® valves the preferred choice?

  • Reduce downtime and maintenance cost
  • Engineered for long life (high cycle life)
  • Pressure balanced design
  • Adjustable opening and closing speeds

Submersible co-ax® valves

Flow Factor Sells

Submersible co-ax® valves


Valve failure is a persistent threat to valve manufacturers and their customers when it comes to submerging a valve in water, particularly in seawater. The consequences are much worse compared to standard installations that can be more easily reached. Given the challenges that sub-marine environments present such as difficult access, valve corrosion and frequent maintenance, the submersible co-ax® valves are engineered for high cycle and fast actuation plus long, reliable and leak-free performance in aggressive environments.
Submersible co-ax® valves meet performance, safety and reliability expectations in deep water and harsh environments and are designed for depths of 50 feet and deeper upon request. co-ax® valves inc. has been the leader in valve technology for almost 60 years and continues to develop ways to innovative and handle the most specific and difficult applications. Companies throughout the industry have used co-ax® valves in harsh marine environments and continue to trust our dependability in the most demanding valve applications.
