Product Questions & Answers

Flow rate on this one says 700 liters per minute, is that enough for press and die casting work, or is that more of a mid-range valve?

Question by: Stan A on Feb 6, 2026, 5:15 PM

For press and die casting applications, 700 liters per minute puts this valve well into the capable range for demanding cycle work. Those environments push valves hard, and the DG5V 8 series is specifically listed for both press use and die casting and foundry applications, so it's not just a general-purpose unit being stretched beyond its intent. If your system demands are within that flow capacity, this is a legitimate fit for that kind of work.
