Actuators, Air Rams, and Valves Market Trends in 2020-2021

Industrial valves and actuators are manufactured to handle high-pressure fluids or gas and to regulate electrical flowing currents. They are made to last through years of use in harsh environments. Most utilities and industries have a high requirement for heavy-duty, industrial-strength valves such as ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, pressure valves, gate valves, diaphragm…

Brands of Pneumatic Valves Distributed by Master Mac 2000

When Master Mac 2000 was founded in 1989, it has been distributing pneumatic valves, air rams, and other pressure control valve and flow control valve parts and components from some of the world’s top quality brands. These leading global brands give Master Mac 2000 the edge as one of Australia’s top distributors of pneumatic valves…

Pressure Control Valve: The Binary Counter Valve

A binary counter valve is a pressure control valve that is a pulse operated 5/2-way valve. Control signal inlet and outlet ports are alternately used or exhausted and energised. A binary counter valve can be electric actuated or pneumatic actuated. Main features One switch or button is the way to control electrical or pneumatic actuations…

Flow Control Valve: The Adjustable Diaphragm Pressure Switch – Made to Measure Pressure

The adjustable diaphragm pressure switch is a flow control valve with the main application of measuring and monitoring pressure and direct switching for electrical loads. For liquid, chemical, and petrochemical industries, diaphragm pressure switches also measure pressure through general process instrumentation. This is usually done in the power generation, oil and gas industries, nuclear power…

Blocking Valves – A Different Sort of Pneumatic Valves

Blocking valves are pneumatic valves of any type used to close off any kind of flow. These flows can be through a pipeline or out of a tank. Such valves used in blocking include gate valves, ball valves, and plug valves. A blocking valve can be locked in either the closed or open position to…

Compressed Air Rams or Air Treatment Valves

Air treatment valves, sometimes called air rams, is usually a single, high-performance valve on main flow that handles regulation for relief functions. It is typically controlled by a high-precision pilot regulator with a controlled relief. This type of valve can also be used in a series with a manual on-off valve, with an electric valve,…

The Unique Pressure Control Valve: The Solenoid Valve

What is a solenoid valve? A solenoid valve is a type of pressure control valve that is electrically controlled. The valve gets its name from the solenoid or electric coil in its centre. This coil acts as a movable ferromagnetic core or plunger. In the rest position, the plunger shuts off a small orifice. An…

A Special Kind of Flow Control Valve: The Poppet Valve

A poppet valve is a type of flow control valve that uses a ball and seat instead of a traditional spool. People don’t realise that their vehicles use a poppet valve as a directional valve every day when they drive to work. Without a poppet valve, a vehicle’s combustion engine wouldn’t be able to function.…

The Applications of the Pneumatic Valves Called Microvalves

Microvalves are small pneumatic valves that have particularly small components that are used in the field of microfluidics and fluidics to control fluids and gases. They are generally used for regulating or shutting off the flow fluids or gasses. For this to happen, a closure element like a disc, ball, or cone, is moved almost…

Diverter Valves Are Air Rams for Diverting Air

The best example of a diverter valve is the type of valve used for shower faucets and showerheads. It diverts the direction of the water. However, since the focus is on air rams, this type of diverter valve or diverter block shifts the direction of pressurised air. When you step on the gas in any…

The Homogenising Pressure Control Valve or Nanovalve

Ever wondered how dairy products are machine homogenised? The homogenising pressure control valve or nanovalve can homogenise dairy products, as well as food, beverages, and even chemical emulsion processes. Nanovalves use pressure to get the best of and improve product viscosity and stability. It also minimises running costs. Generally, nanovalves are high-efficiency homogenising pressure control…

Compressed Air Systems Rely on Proper Filtration through a Flow Control Valve

Many heavy and light industries rely on compressed air due to the fact it is readily available and easy to use. However, to avoid any system failure and poor efficiency, the system of piping needs to be set up with strong air filtration. The act of compressing air can lead to a rise in air…
