The Crossover ball joint is a new and efficient dredge ball joint that provides optimal flow performance.
Vosta LMG has successfully delivered its first Crossover ball joints to several customers in the Middle East.
Full Flow Area in Tilted Position
Through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) the frictional losses and turbulence have been reduced to a minimum. Conventional dredge ball joints act like a ball valve when tilted, causing the flow area to reduce and frictional losses to increase. The patented Crossover design incorporates two wear liners which are shaped to provide full flow area in any tilted position. Additionally, the two liners provide maximum wear protection for the ball, which no longer suffers from direct wear caused by the flow.
