We are often asked if Custom Valve Concepts Kates Flow Rate Controller would benefit blending & batching systems, and the answer is yes! Blending & batching systems require pressure to remain constant so that the system does not get disrupted. The Kates design is self-contained and will be a cost-effective addition to your system.

Custom Valve Concepts Kates Flow Controllers have been and continue to be the go-to product for flow control in mechanical seal applications. Compared to a standard orifice plate or flow restrictor, the seals will continue to receive a constant set flow rate regardless of system pressure fluctuations. Mechanical Pump Seal Plans are critical to the longevity of the equipment they are being used on. For instance, if a seal fails then the machine it is on can not be operated until a new seal is installed. The Kates unit takes the guesswork out of mechanical seal flush flow control and gives maintenance peace of mind.

Frequently we lend out our valves for in-house testing by potential and current customers in an effort to see how our valves work with their systems - not only to back up our belief in our product quality - but we also believe in ensuring our products work with their systems and if not, what can we learn from the experience to improve, how can we better built a solution that fits their exact needs? We aren't afraid to demonstrate our R&D and our quality by putting these products to the test in real environments.

The complete instrument engineer knows that behind the glitter of digital control technology lies another world of mechanical field instrument devices from which process control was born. Digital electronics may dutifully perform in a "0" or "1" state, but the artful precision and imaginative designs of analog mechanical field instruments are marvels that often go unnoticed by new generations of control professionals.
