I'm lookin' at using this in a press application. Is that somethin' it's suited for?
Question by: Johnny W on Mar 8, 2026, 8:21 AM
Yes sir, real-world usage includes press applications, along with die casting, machine tools, marine/offshore, primary metal, paper, test equipment, simulation, and turbine control systems.

flow rate on this valve is listed at 120 LPM -- is that enough for a press application or would it be undersized for heavier work?
Question by: Cheryl E on Apr 13, 2025, 12:01 PM
For press applications, 120 litres per minute is a solid flow rate and falls right in line with what this valve is rated to handle. The DGMDC-5 is explicitly listed for press use alongside other demanding environments like primary metal processing and die casting, so it's not a lightweight option by any stretch. Whether it fits your specific press setup comes down to matching that 120 LPM figure against your system's actual flow demand at operating pressure. If your press runs within that envelope, you're in good shape.
