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.
