Where our solutions work

Raw Material Handling & Storage

Process: Handling, storing, and transferring of corrosive and volatile raw materials such as acids, solvents, and gases. Systems must ensure leak-free, safe, and efficient flow

Solutions: Ball ValvesButterfly ValvesPneumatic Actuator,  Pneumatic Valves

Reaction & Processing Units

Process: Core processing in reactors, fermenters, and high temperature/high-pressure vessels. Requires highly responsive, durable valve automation that performs under extreme conditions

Solutions: Ball ValvesButterfly ValvesPneumatic Actuator,  Pneumatic Valves

Mixing, Blending & Dosing Systems

Process: Controlled mixing or dosing of raw or intermediate chemicals to ensure product consistency and safety. Involves precise flow and pressure control

Solutions: Ball ValvesFlow Control Valves,  Pneumatic Valves

Distillation & Separation Units

Process: Separation of chemical compounds through distillation, evaporation, or fractionation. Needs reliable flow control for steam, condensate, and process media.
