Meetings with friends are always pleasant and this was also the case during the visit to the OMAL Passirano and Rodengo-Saiano production sites in Italy on 9 June. We discussed the latest technical changes, the business results for 2022 and 2023 and briefly discussed logistics issues. Mr. Riccardo Reali - Sales Manager Europe led the meeting for OMAL, our representative was the Sales Director Mr. Ivo Mikulec.

VALPES ACTUATOR CERTIFICATION

Valpes' R&D department consistently adheres to harmonised standards, so all electric actuator ranges are tested and certified by notified bodies (LCIE, EMITECH etc.) and now include UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA/UKCA-Ex) certification for products marketed in the UK. EMC (Directive 2014/30/EU) or Electromagnetic Compatibility ensures that our products will not interfere with or disturb surrounding equipment. The Low Voltage Directive (Directive 2014/35/EU) defines the scope of electrical equipment intended for use within certain voltage limits. It thus ensures that electrical equipment provides a high level of protection for the user and the installation within certain voltage limits.

REALIZED PROJECTS

BALL VALVES PEKOS FOR HYDROGEN

In the penultimate week of June, the final tests of the electro-pneumatically operated ball valves for the hydrogen pipeline system were carried out. For this purpose, PEKOS ball valves of the Z06 series were used in a version with a safety shaft extension, which makes it possible to check the tightness of the seal without dismantling the components. The valves are controlled by OMAL single-acting pneumatic actuators with ASCO solenoid valves and ROTECH end position sensors. All assemblies meet the specification requirements for use in hazardous areas.
