Find Manufacturers of valves

Many think selecting a valve for handling dry material is a relatively simple. But in reality, valve manufacturers need more information to select the right valve for the application accurately. The vast range of valve types available reflects the challenges of controlling and directing the flow of dry bulk solids. Installation criteria determine which valve line is appropriate. The most critical question is “What is the valve intended to do?”
