Why Valve Solutions

Valve Solutions, Inc. (VSI), established in 1995 in Alpharetta, GA, is a premier manufacturer of valves and actuators for both commercial and industrial markets. VSI also specializes in delivering automated valve packages to some of the world’s largest controls companies. Its sister company, VSI Waterworks, caters to the municipal markets with AWWA-certified valves.

VSI initially entered the market by selling automated ball valve packages as an authorized OEM of Apollo ball valves and Siemens open-air damper actuators. In May 2000, VSI expanded its product offerings with the launch of the Series 2000 Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve and the Series 1000 Electric Actuator. These new product lines were complemented by partnerships with leading HVAC valve and actuator suppliers, including Belimo, Siemens, Johnson Controls, and Honeywell.

In 2002, VSI introduced its flagship product, the Series V High Performance Segmented Ball Valve. This innovative valve offers a superior and cost-effective alternative to traditional globe valves for flow control in hydronic and steam systems. The Series V has been widely recognized, including features in ASHRAE journals, and has received positive feedback from customers for its performance.

Continuing its commitment to innovation, VSI rebranded and launched several new products in 2012, including the Series 2100 Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve, the Series 1000-X Electric Actuator, and the Series C Pneumatic Actuator, all designed with ISO patterns for direct mount packages. This eliminates the need for costly linkages, further enhancing efficiency and reducing costs for clients.

VSI’s partnerships have expanded to include industry leaders such as Sharpe Valves, ABZ Valves, and Moniteur Devices. For customized valve solutions tailored to specific needs, VSI remains a trusted partner in the industry.

Automated Valves

An actuated valve, sometimes referred to as an automated valve, is a crucial component in modern fluid control systems. These valves are equipped with a pneumatic or electric actuator, which precisely controls the opening and closing functions of the valve. This automation enhances efficiency, accuracy, and safety in various industrial and commercial applications, reducing the need for manual intervention.

Valve Solutions offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality actuated valves designed to meet the rigorous demands of diverse industries. Among the most popular offerings are the Series V high-performance ball valves and Series 2100 butterfly valves, both of which are equipped with the reliable Series 1000 actuators. The Series V ball valves are known for their durability and excellent flow control, making them ideal for high-pressure applications. The Series 2100 butterfly valves, paired with the Series 1000 actuators, provide precise and reliable performance in both on/off and modulating service.

These actuated valves are engineered to deliver optimal performance and long-term reliability, ensuring that your operations run smoothly and efficiently. By integrating advanced actuators with robust valve designs, Valve Solutions ensures that its products not only meet but exceed industry standards, offering solutions that are both versatile and dependable for a wide range of applications.

Valves

Industrial and commercial valves play a pivotal role in controlling the flow of liquids, gases, and slurries across various industries, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of complex systems. Valve Solutions, a leader in this domain, offers a comprehensive range of valves designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial applications.

Among their offerings, the High-Performance Series V-Ball valves stand out for their precision and reliability. These valves are engineered for demanding environments where accuracy in flow control is crucial. The V-Port control ball valves, another popular choice, provide exceptional throttling capabilities, making them ideal for applications requiring precise flow regulation. Their robust design ensures long-lasting performance, even in the harshest conditions.

A key highlight in Valve Solutions’ product line is the Series 9000 high-performance butterfly valve. Engineered with a bi-directional zero leakage seat, this valve guarantees a tight seal, preventing leakage from either direction. Its design emphasizes low operating torque, reducing the energy required to operate the valve, which is particularly advantageous in energy-conscious projects. This high-performance butterfly valve is versatile, suitable for a wide range of applications, including water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.

With a focus on durability, efficiency, and precision, Valve Solutions’ range of industrial and commercial valves provides reliable solutions for a variety of projects, ensuring optimal performance and operational safety.

Actuators

Actuators are crucial components in the automation of industrial and commercial valve systems, offering precise control and enhanced efficiency in various applications. Valve Solutions offers a comprehensive range of both pneumatic and electric actuators to meet diverse operational needs.

The VSI Series 1000-X and 1000/S-X Electric Actuators utilize proven technology to ensure reliable valve and damper automation. These actuators are available in various control configurations, including open/close service and modulating position control, making them versatile for a wide range of applications. With a deadband adjustable down to 0.5% and an 80% duty cycle for modulating service, the Series 1000-X and 1000/S-X actuators deliver precise, dependable automation, ensuring that critical processes are consistently managed with accuracy.

For high-pressure applications, Valve Solutions offers the Series C pneumatic rack and pinion actuator. Available in thirteen frame sizes, it can accommodate everything from the smallest ball valves to large 48″ butterfly valves. Each frame size is adaptable, allowing for field conversion between double acting and spring return configurations, providing flexibility in operation. The hard-anodized body and internal components, along with piston guides and bearings, guarantee high-cycle life and efficiency, making the Series C actuator a reliable choice for demanding environments.

Valve Solutions’ actuators are engineered for durability and precision, ensuring optimal performance in various industrial settings.

Accessories

Valve accessories are essential components that enhance the functionality, precision, and control of industrial valves. Among these, the Moniteur Series 40/41 Pneumatic & Electro-Pneumatic Positioners stand out for their ability to provide accurate valve positioning by converting control signals into precise actuator movements. This ensures optimal process control, making them vital in applications requiring high accuracy.

Limit switches are another crucial accessory, offering real-time feedback on the valve’s position. By detecting the open or closed status, they enhance safety and operational efficiency, preventing potential hazards caused by incorrect valve positioning.

Positioners are indispensable in fine-tuning valve operations, especially in environments where precise control is necessary. These devices ensure that the valve reaches its intended position, thereby improving process reliability and reducing wear and tear.

Globe valve linkages are specifically designed to facilitate the connection between the actuator and the valve, enabling smooth operation and control. They are particularly useful in complex piping systems where precise alignment is required.

Solenoids are used to control the flow of fluids by actuating the valve remotely, making them an essential component in automated systems.

For manual operations, worm gear operators and manual levers provide robust solutions. Worm gear operators are ideal for applications requiring high torque, while manual levers offer straightforward control for smaller valves.

Lastly, the manual override gear operator ensures that the valve can be operated manually in case of an actuator failure, offering a reliable backup in critical situations.

These accessories collectively enhance the performance, safety, and reliability of valve systems across various industrial applications.
