Special Strip Steel for Flapper Valve, Compressor Valves

Flapper Valve Steel

Stamping or punching shops and manufacturers of compressor valves rely on valve flap steel for compressors that is fatigue-resistant and which can be easily processed. The quality of cooling units and air conditioners is based to a large extent on the quality and robustness of the valve flaps in the compressors. Baomit strip steel meets the demands made by compressor manufacturers and consumers on the quality of the valve flap material.
