Valve Automation

An automated valve is an integrated system that allows to automatically control the flow of fluids through a pipe. 

This system is composed of three large blocks of components that interact both mechanically and through the usage of physical properties such as power, pressure, flow-capacity, speed and temperature, that allow to operate all of the involved instruments.

  • The valve
  • The Actuator
  • The control System
