  • Patented Filter Design Saves Cement Manufacturer Big Bucks

    Patented Filter Design Saves Cement Manufacturer Big Bucks

    Problem: The valves of a well known cement manufacturer were failing after only a few months in service. Filtration failures were causing water corrosion and excess oil build up in the pneumatic air lines, which lead to valve failures. These filter units initially kept water out of the system but eventually the filter elements became…

  • How to Choose between the FM Fire-Safe Shutoff and the EIV Series When Designing Your Fire Safety Shutoffs

    How to Choose between the FM Fire-Safe Shutoff and the EIV Series When Designing Your Fire Safety Shutoffs

    Having a fire safety shutoff system in place is quite important at any facility which deals with flammable liquids or gasses. Whether processing or consuming flammable materials, safety is paramount. Fuel, toxic chemicals, or even oxygen lines can be susceptible if they are not stored, maintained, and transported properly. Regardless of the hazardous material at…
