Valves, Actuators & Pump Control


Mascot control valve

August 2023 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

Superior performance in liquids and gaseous services is the hallmark of the GFlo globe control valve. Easy, quick and economical maintenance makes the GFlo globe control valve more user friendly. The spring cylinder actuated GFlo imparts stiffness and maintains very high precision in positioning. Strong response, repeatability and controlled high-speed movement are the characteristics absent in diaphragm-operated control valves. GFlo has the thrust capability to shut off against higher fluid pressures as it can handle up to a 10 bar air supply.

Valve closure is totally dependent on springs in most diaphragm actuators. The unique design of the GFlo enables it to combine the spring force, fluid pressure and air pressure to achieve an extremely tight shutoff. A self-aligning seat ring adds to and further improves the shutoff capability.
