Bearing Man Group’s (BMG) strategy to enhance its fluid technology services to meet growing market demand encompasses the introduction of new products, with the latest developments in design technologies, materials and coatings.
The company’s expansion programme in the fluid technology sector also involves increasing stockholdings through more than 140 BMG branches and a wide distribution network in South Africa and across borders into Swaziland, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia and Tanzania.
“BMG boosts its fluid technology services with dependable technical support to ensure optimum safety, efficiency and extended service life of every system, even in corrosive environments. With broad technical capabilities, the team is able to solve problems, in applications where conventional components have failed after short periods of service,” says Wayne Holton, fluid technology manager, BMG.
The company’s extensive range of components for fluid technology systems and general industrial applications includes valves, hydraulic hoses and fittings, accumulators, cylinders, heat exchangers, hydraulic motors and hydraulic plumbing, as well as pumps and reservoir accessories.
“Compact butterfly valves, with good flow characteristics and low maintenance requirements, are important components in BMG’s extensive range of valves for industrial flow control,” says Willie Lamprecht, national product manager valves, BMG.
An advantage of using quarter turn butterfly valves is the simple, wafer shaped design, with fewer parts, for easy repair and minimal maintenance. Unlike a ball valve, the disc of a butterfly valve is always present in the passageway within the flow. This means a pressure drop is induced, regardless of the position of the valve. Ball valves should only be used for isolation, whereas butterfly valves can safely be used for isolation and control of flow.
Other valves available from BMG include seated, knife and wedge gate valves, as well as ball check valves, thermoplastic, diaphragm, pinch and angle seat valves.
This range is suitable for reliable performance in diverse industries, including mining, refining, power generation, iron and steel, materials handling, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, paper and pulp, chemical, sugar and automotive.
