Hobbs’ patented design of their Triple Offset Butterfly Valves is at the forefront of technology and offers the end-user benefits above and beyond its competitor valves…and it is not just us that think so! Read below to see what a major UK mining company has to say after installing Hobbs’ butterfly valves into their application.
MGA Controls has successfully introduced its range of Swing Check Valves into the UK water industry. MGA represents a brand of Swing Check Valves called Val-Matic. Val-Matic are leaders in innovation and technical expertise for valves in water and wastewater applications.
Buschjost’s Pressure operated valves are Process valves which operate by pressure acting on a piston or diaphragm thus actuating the solenoid causing the valve to open or close. Buschjost’s pressure operated valves are suitable for various media’s such as aggressive & neutral fluids, liquids and gases. This range of valves are available in various sizes, process connections and materials, such as stainless steel, brass and cast iron.
Buschjost’s Pressure operated valves are actuated by pressure acting on a piston or diaphragm. When pressure is connected to port “Z”, the valves open or close according to type. A separate 3/2 pilot valve, or occasionally a 4/2 or 5/2 pilot valve, is used to supply pressure to port “Z”. The pilot valve is mounted either directly on the actuator or remotely.
MGA Controls have been supplying Check Valves to the general Process Industry and the Water industry for many years. We have gained considerable experience specifying the correct check valves into applications and have helped our end-user’s overcome serious application problems involving un-wanted backflow, pressure surges and water hammer.
Check valves, otherwise known as non-return valves, are generally installed in pipelines to allow flow in one direction only, helping to protect equipment and processes further down the pipeline.
Recent research into efficiency and effectiveness in wastewater systems has demonstrated that air pockets can cause excessive damage to these systems, and can often cause serious corrosion of pipelines, significant head losses, decreased flow capacity and can have a negative impact on pressure surges. Most importantly, in today’s ‘energy conscious’ society, air pockets in a pipeline or system have been found to result in serious energy losses. The correct Air Valve in a wastewater system can be very effective in saving energy costs by preventing the problems described above, such as corrosion build-up.
Val-Matic are a company based in Illinois that have been producing valves for Water and Wastewater for over 40 years. The Val-Matic ‘Cam-Centric’, quarter-turn, non-lubricated, eccentric type Plug Valves are built consistently to high quality standards with a range of features designed to minimise maintenance and prolong life beyond that achieved by other manufacturers.

Val-Matic are a company based in Illinois that have been producing valves for Water and Wastewater for 40 years. The Val-Matic ‘Surgebuster’, resilient hinge, encapsulated disc Check Valves are built consistently to high quality standards with a range of features designed to minimise maintenance and pro-long life beyond that achieved by other manufacturers. Details of the features and benefits of the Val-Matic ‘Surgebuster’ Check Valves are as follows:
The Valmatic Swing-Flex & Surgebuster Check Valves are supplied in the UK as a standard with PN16 BS4504 flanges, BS5153 Short Pattern Face-to-Face up to 12”, Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating Internally and Externally, (in the case of the Surgebuster) a 302 Stainless Steel Disc Accelerator (other disc materials, paint specifications and rubber lining are available on request).
The S-Line multifunctional Temperature Transmitters and Temperature Switches are used to measure and regulate temperature in tanks and pipes or to measure the pipe surface temperature, especially in hygienic environments. Click here for more information on the benefits of the S-Line range of Pressure and Temperature range of process instrumentation.
The S-Line Pressure Transmitters and Pressure Switches are suited for measuring the relative and absolute pressures of gases, vapours and liquids. They display the measurement using a 4-digit luminescent indication module and transmit a current signal proportional to the pressure. They have two optional floating, electrical contacts with up to 1A switching current and various switching functions.
