While many process systems are fully automated, including the operation of valves throughout the system, there is still a need for manual control valves in sanitary processes.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell offers a full line of Waukesha valves designed and engineered specifically for manual control operations. As with all of the valves made by the company, they are quality valves that have been in use in sanitary and industrial processes for decades, and they have a top reputation for reliability, durability, and long life cycles.
Ball Check Valves
Used for steam and other types of media, the ball valve is an excellent choice for liquid solutions that are not excessively thick or sticky in nature. In general, ball valves that are used sticky or highly viscous types of media tend to stick in the tube, reducing the reliability of the valve.
There are several options in sizes for these practical and common types of Waukesha valves. They are stainless steel with ball materials that vary based on the specific application.
Relief Valves
There are several different types of Waukesha valves that are ideal for manually releasing pressure throughout the system. These include vacuum breaker and air relief valves, air vent valves, and manual valves that can be installed in pipes or tubing.
Plug Valves
Plug valves can be used to either divert the flow of the media through the system or as an on/off valve option. They use a cone-shaped plug that is positioned in the valve through the external lever, making it easy to control the flow of media at any location in the system.
