Kansas City, MO - When a prospect asked if we could come up with an automated valve package my initial reaction was no problem. If you know anything about people in sales, they're not afraid to commit to something, even if they don't know it can be done. While this can sometimes be a very dangerous thing to do, I knew our internal expertise could rise to the challenge.
The difference between this package, and our standard pneumatic valve package was that he wanted to be able to include a manual push button emergency shut-off. Recently the Midwest has experienced some very destructive weather patterns, and our end user wanted to make sure that in the event something was barreling towards their site, they'd be prepared.
By combining a Flowseal high performance butterfly valve with a Sharpe pneumatic actuator and ASCO solenoid we were able to build a standard valve package. Then including a Nema 7/9 enclosure for the push button we ended with a finished product that went above and beyond what our customer was expecting.
So before assuming that something can be done with valve automation, please pick up the phone and ask us.
We are the valve automation experts.
