2-Stroke Exhaust Valve Spindle Reconditioning

AI-Driven Welding for Duraspindle, Nimonic & Stellite Valves

2-Stroke exhaust valves are manufactured to the highest possible standards in order to operate in extremely harsh environments and withstand the stresses they are subjected to. However, even the slightest damage can affect the equipment’s efficiency and eventually lead to its total loss. KIMI has developed a state-of-the-art exhaust valve rebuilding line using advanced metallurgy R&D and AI-driven robotics, extending valve life and improving quality, achieving up to 80% lower cost than full replacement.

Highly cost-effective without compromising quality:

KIMI’s streamlined reconditioning procedure for exhaust valve spindles includes:

  • Identification of the material composition and metallurgical examination
  • Geometry evaluation through 3D scanning
  • CNC machining
  • AI welding robots
  • Quality checks by PCN Level II certified personnel

In the apparent question, how can investment in technologically advanced equipment, years of in-depth R&D, and highly skilled personnel lead to significant cost reductions in valve repair rather than an increase? KIMI replies:

  • Automated operation without operator intervention, resulting in:
    • 70% less time compared to traditional manual repair
    • Minimized human error
  • Continuous operation and production (24/7/365), resulting in:
    • Unmatched workshop capacity
    • Fast-response repairs whenever you need us
  • Consistency in fine-tuned welding parameters every single time, resulting in:
    • A vertically integrated quality control process
    • A guaranteed, uniform level of quality for each component
  • Material-adaptive rebuilding process, which leads to adjusting the capability according to the material type (Duraspindle, Nimonic, Stellite)
  • Adjustable energy consumption
  • Minimized material waste

Key benefits:

Unbeatable cost savings: Reconditioning cost reduced by up to 80% instead of purchasing a new one.

Superior quality: Metallurgical Dimensional precision, delivering brand-new quality.

Minimized downtime: Reduced repair lead times enable faster component return to service.
