Is your facility’s technology still mired in the 20th Century? Do things take longer than they should? You may want to consider adding modern processing systems which include automated sanitary valves. Here is information on control valves and how they make many companies more efficient.
What is a Control Valve?
A control valve can be one of many types like ball or check valves. Instead of using a handle to turn the activating mechanism manually, you can use valves which have actuators. An actuator can be air or electricity powered. Actuators open or close valves, with the use of compressed air or electric motors, when they receive a signal from a controller. A valve with an actuator is a control valve.
Benefits
Automated sanitary valves can let liquids into systems or stop the flow of liquids. They can operate without the need for human intervention. When you automated a process like valve operation, you may need fewer people on the job. With fewer workers on the payroll, your company becomes leaner and more efficient. You have fewer expenses like vacation pay, overtime pay, and fewer absenteeism problems to deal with. A smaller workforce can make worker compensation and health insurance expenses lower.
Easy to Install
It is not difficult to install many kinds of automated sanitary valves. Installation is similar to that of manual valves, except you need to install an actuator and a control circuit. In fact, you can install many valves at one time when you want an automated system.
Safety
When workers do not have to operate large valves manually, they face fewer hazards on the job. Thanks to automated valves, your team can avoid working in wet or slippery conditions which could lead to falls or injuries. Fewer injuries are good for your company reputation and liability insurance expenses.
