ENERGYValves sets down its own roots

September 2023 Motion Control & Drives

ENERGYValves, one of EMVAfrica’s three divisions, has relocated to its own facility in Midrand. The move was prompted by ENERGYValves’ excellent growth over the past few years, which amplified the need for more space to accommodate increased stockholding and resources. “Our new facility will enhance our operational efficiencies by giving us better access to infrastructure, transportation networks and utilities,” says business unit manager, Anesh Prithilall. “This investment enables us to acquire new equipment and adopt modern technologies, with increased productivity and competitiveness as a result. Our much larger valve stockholding gives us greater market flexibility, while the additional space also enables us to diversify and expand our valve range. Our subsequent ability to handle diverse valve enquiries and large orders for different valve types, materials, and pressure ratings will unlock more avenues of supply to a broader base of potential customers.”

In addition to a complete range of world-class-quality globe, ball, gate, butterfly, check, and safety relief valves. ENERGYValves’ product portfolio extends to diaphragm, needle, solenoid (electromechanical), pinch, needle, pressure reducing, and control units for more specialised applications. “We can meet virtually any application requirement for industries such as oil and gas, water and waste treatment, mining, power generation, chemical processing, petrochemical, manufacturing and construction,” he says. “By tapping into a vast pool of knowledge and expertise, with continued support from EMVAfrica, the ENERGYValves brand can now confidently stand on its own, backed by a skilled team committed to providing quality products and excellent customer service.”

Perfect balance for every race
Horne Technologies Motion Control & Drives
It goes without saying that success in Formula 1 requires a top driver. However, their chance of achieving a place on the podium depends on the car, which in turn depends on three essential factors: engine, tyres and aerodynamics. To find the optimum balance, the racing teams test models of their bolides in the wind tunnel. At Sauber, the adjustable components are moved on the model and in the test chamber using FAULHABER motors.
