September 2017

The philosophy behind the acquisition is to offer the industry highly-engineered premium products at affordable prices. “AR Controls, already well-established in the marketplace, will use its global leverage to position IncoValve and Controls on an international platform,” van Niekerk explains. “Initially we will expand into the African market and thereafter into South America, North America, Europe and Australia.”
Industries to be targeted initially by IncoValve and Controls are mining, minerals processing, power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas, water and wastewater, pulp and paper, food and beverage, sugar, and ethanol.
Products include butterfly valves, available in concentric, high-performance double-offset, and triple-offset severe-service valve designs in various material, trim, and connection configurations, from PN10 to PN100.
Actuators on offer include stainless steel and aluminium alloy rack and pinion actuators, high-performance, high-torque output scotch yoke actuators, and stainless steel and standard linear actuators. All actuators are available in either double-acting or fail-safe, with the latter being achieved through spring return or air failsafe reservoir designs.
Finally, a range of accessories will complement the product range, including valve lockouts, solenoid valves, switchboxes, feedback sensors, positioners, and air-filter regulators, all available to suit customer specifications.
“AR Controls is actively seeking to introduce new and innovative products, adopting the latest technologies and manufacturing methods available to industry,” concludes van Niekerk. “This is complemented by new product offerings through long-term valve manufacturing supplier and US-based DeZurik APCO Hilton.”
