Hydraulic actuators for the FOOD INDUSTRY
A new, patented way of operating a valve. With unprecedented possibilities and applications. The system consumes at least 95% less energy than a traditional pneumatic system and is many times more precise than a high-end control valve.
>95% reduction
energy consumption/co2 reduction
The energy consumption of an entire "plant" often includes 6 to 7,000 valves. We can operate this with a 2.2 kW Power Pack, the size of half a pallet space. The Power Pack is only active for 20 minutes a day. Compare this with the air compressors required for pneumatic valves.
100% elimination of water hammer
Water hammer can be prevented 100% by controlling the speed of the valve.
High pressures
Due to the hydraulic system, each valve is able to operate with a process pressure of up to 25 bar.
The actuator is equipped
with integrated intelligence
In other words, feedback on 36 parameters. Can be implemented with ASI/I/O link/Profibus/Profinet. Equipped with LED ring that can be adjusted color-specifically according to customer specifications.
POSITION CONTROL
The system always knows the exact position of the valve under all circumstances. Unlike air-operated valves, the volume of product is guaranteed (0-100%). This process is controlled in such a way that every valve can be used as a control valve.
Open variable
leakage space
In the case of mixproof double seat valves, the upper and lower plug are moved separately from each other. This means that the leakage space can be opened variably. This ensures that the flush is adjustable.
Control of forces
Due to the control of the forces in the actuator, it is not necessary to have a balanced plug. This ensures a slimmer construction of the valve, which gives more freedom in the dimensioning of the piping.

A new, patented way of operating a valve
Instead of the uncontrolled movement of the actuator on the valve by air and a spring, our system uses water as the actuating medium. Because of all the advantages that a hydraulic system offers over a traditional pneumatic system, we have completely reinvented our valves. With unprecedented possibilities and applications. The system consumes at least 95% less energy than a traditional pneumatic system and is many times more precise than a high-end control valve.
