Innovations and solutions

Valcor’s offering of chemically inert fluid control components utilising PTFE flexible diaphragms or bellows to seal on a PTFE seat include solenoid valves, pressure regulators, pressure relief valves and check valves.

The Pneumatic Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation introduces Isys HA (26mm) and HB (18mm) ISO 15407-1 valves.

M&M International released an additional version of solenoid valve that can work without continuous power supply. The latching configuration depends on a special operator with built-in magnet, able to work with coils at a max.

Clippard's EGV Series valves are an electronically piloted version of the GV series valves, ideal for large-flow, low-leak applications.

Argos, one of the largest cement producers in Latin America, has chosen SKF to provide a broad range of engineering products and services for its operations in Colombia over the next three years. “SKF has an extensive partnership to support Argos in maximising the utilisation and reliability of its assets, thereby achieving its business objectives”, said Vartan Vartanian, president, SKF Industrial Market, Regional Sales and Service.

The spring-loaded direct acting valve automatically sustains and relieves the upstream pressure regardless of downstream and flow rate variations. The pressure-balanced technology, obtained by an intermediate chamber and a sturdy mobile block design, guarantees a high accuracy and long lasting performances.

One of the most recent developments in industrial tools to prevent fire damage is the introduction of fire safe valves.

Danfoss launched a new range of stainless steel line components, SVL SS Flexline. The new range of stainless steel line components is based on the successful modular concept from the products in the Flexline family, covering ICV, ICF and SVL valves.

Kirk Key Interlock will exhibit its full range of mechanical, electromechanical, transfer, access, and bolt trapped key interlocks, including the new Eagle Series for valve interlocking, at the 2014 Air Pollution Control/Pollution Control Users Group (APC/PCUG) Conference & Expo at the Galt House, Louisville, Kentucky, in July.Kirk’s interlock systems protect personnel and equipment by ensuring that a pre-determined safety sequence is followed each time hazardous equipment is accessed in the power industry.

The series 4700–Submerged are direct-acting solenoid shutoff valves capable of operating while submerged in aircraft-grade fuels. Flow can be shut off in either direction. Series 4700-Submerged valves are similar to Valcor’s series 4700 with a modification to the solenoid housing.
