  • Automation in Human and Pet Food Production

    Automation in Human and Pet Food Production

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are dominating news headlines. Yet manufacturers of food, whether it be for humans or pets, automate their production lines with automated valve assemblies that are driven by PLCs, HMIs, and dedicated computers designed to handle the complex operations of a factory floor. The actuated valve assemblies controlled in this manner…

    How Sanitary Valves Are Gaining Interest in Data Center Cooling Systems

    As data centers grow larger and more power-intensive, liquid cooling is emerging as a preferred alternative to traditional air cooling. This shift is opening new conversations around components used in cooling loops—including sanitary valves. At Assured Automation, we’ve started fielding inquiries from engineers, contractors and distributors working on data center cooling lines who are exploring…

  • Double-Acting vs. Spring Return Actuators—How to Choose the Right One

    Double-Acting vs. Spring Return Actuators—How to Choose the Right One

    Double-acting vs. spring return actuators, which one is right? You’ve asked yourself that question when selecting actuators for valves. You’re probably familiar with the two most common types: spring return and double-acting. But choosing between them isn’t always straightforward—especially when safety, energy use, or fail-safe behavior is on the line. Many engineers and buyers default…

  • Simplifying Actuator Sizing for Quarter-Turn Valves: A Practical Guide

    Simplifying Actuator Sizing for Quarter-Turn Valves: A Practical Guide

    Actuator sizing for quarter-turn valves may seem simple, but there’s a bit more to it than just matching torque values from a chart against the torque values required by the valve. In fact, it’s one of the most common areas where engineers and buyers make critical mistakes. At Assured Automation, we’ve helped customers navigate these…
