Valve Lapping and Polishing Machines

The LarsLap mechanically driven valve lapping system comprises a number of basic models covering virtually every type of valve from 1/2" to 47+" (1194+ mm) in diameter. The patented LarsLap technology utilizes a mechanically driven system whereby the rotating drive head incorporates individually driven grinding wheels to perform the actual work of the seat grinding. This unique valve lapping tool provides the desired crosshatch pattern on the valve seat considerably quicker than conventional methods of valve grinding. Our versatile accessories for all types of lapping work are the ideal complement to the basic portable valve grinders.

Grinding Technology: Mechanically Driven System
Our valve lapping equipment uses a patented mechanically driven system with all grinding wheels moving at the same rate of speed. This lapping technology produces a perfect crosshatch pattern because the inside and outside of the seat is being ground at the same time. The speed is at least five (5) times faster as a gear or o-ring is driving each grinding wheel. The driving plate pivots instead of the grinding wheels, which puts all the pressure in the middle of the driving plate. This results in a perfectly flat seat – without undesirable effects such as concave or convex seats. These results can return a concave or convex seat, damaged by improper grinding, to the desired flatness. The direction of the motor on the LarsLap valve lapping tools can be easily reversed (compressed air reversible motor drive).

Valve Type Capability: Versatile
Models of the LarsLap lapping equipment are capable of working on Gate Valves, Globe Valves, Check Valves, Safety Valves and Control Valves. One does not require an additional machine or accessory to work on each individual valve type of valve. Each Grinder Model for use with gate valves is equipped with a wedge plate.

Set Up/Mounting
The LarsLap valve lapping equipment may be set up prior to entering the valve requiring only fine adjustments once the machine is mounted in the valve. As the valve lapping equipment is mechanically driven, it is unnecessary to have the grinding wheels centered perfectly. The LarsLap wheels need only to cover the seat in order to work correctly. The valve grinder is quickly and easily mounted. The mounting frame does not need to be removed and reset when changing grinding paper on the grinding heads or grinding opposite side of seat. Mounting is versatile – the valve grinder can be mounted in any direction.

The LarsLap valve grinding equipment is supplied standard with a generous supply of grinding abrasive papers, in micron and micron alumina, 80-120-200 grit. Additional abrasive material and grit is available upon request.
