Range of Hydraulic Valves and Fittings Offered by DURAfilter
As one of the leading hydraulic valves suppliers, we offer an extensive range of hydraulic valves and fittings designed for durability and efficiency. Our selection includes the following:
- Safety Valves: These valves provide reliable protection for hydraulic and industrial systems by automatically releasing excess pressure when thresholds are exceeded. Built with high‑quality materials like stainless steel, they offer corrosion resistance, compliance with ASME/API/EN standards, and long‑term, maintenance‑light performance.
- Shut-off Valves: Shut‑off valves control or stop fluid flow in pressurized systems to prevent damage in high‑pressure environments. They are engineered for long‑term performance, offering reliable pressure isolation, safe maintenance shut‑down, and wide compatibility with hydraulic systems.
- Relief Valve Blocks: These blocks combine one or more pressure‑relief valves into a compact unit that safeguards hydraulic systems by diverting fluid when preset limits are exceeded.
- Industrial Valves: This category covers various valve types including gate, ball, globe, check and butterfly valves to control, regulate or shut off flow of gases, liquids and slurries in process systems.
Applications Across Industries
DURAfilter’s hydraulic valves are widely used across industries. Some of the key sectors that benefit from our products include:
- Manufacturing and Automation: Hydraulic systems are fundamental in factories and production lines, where precise control and reliability are crucial. Our high pressure hydraulic valves ensure smooth operation and high efficiency in these fast-paced environments.
- Material Handling: In industries like logistics and warehousing, hydraulic systems control lifts, conveyors, and other material-handling equipment. Our valves ensure these systems operate safely and efficiently.
- Construction and Heavy Machinery: Equipment like cranes, excavators, and bulldozers depends on hydraulic systems to function. Our high pressure hydraulic valves are designed to handle the demanding requirements of such machines, providing reliable pressure control and minimizing downtime.
- Marine and Energy: From offshore platforms to ships, hydraulic systems are vital for controlling equipment in the marine and energy sectors. DURAfilter’s valves offer the precision and performance needed to handle the extreme conditions found in these industries.
Tips for Choosing the Right Hydraulic Valves for Your Application
Choosing the right types of valves in hydraulic depends on several factors, such as:
- Flow rate requirements: Ensure that you select a valve capable of handling the required fluid flow for your system.
- Pressure ratings: Each valve has a maximum pressure limit. Ensure that the valve you choose can withstand the maximum pressure your system will experience.
- Fluid type: Consider the type of fluid in your hydraulic system (oil, water, etc.) and choose a valve material that is compatible with it.
- Environment: Valves exposed to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments require specialized materials for optimal performance.
