Thermostatic Mixing Valves
Our thermostatic mixing valves precisely blend hot and cold water to maintain safe, consistent temperatures in domestic and commercial systems. Engineered for accuracy within 1C, these valves prevent scalding while ensuring regulatory compliance. Applications include healthcare facilities, schools, and industrial settings where water safety is critical.
Steam Control Systems
Precision steam control solutions manage temperature and pressure in industrial heating processes. Our EA-1 steam control valve and Steam Injection Heater systems ensure efficient hot water generation for laundries, industrial washing machines, and process applications. Designed for durability in high-demand environments.
Thermal Disinfection Units
In-line thermal disinfection units (ILTDU) combat waterborne pathogens through controlled temperature cycling. These systems maintain bacterial control in recirculating hot water systems without chemical additives, meeting healthcare and industrial hygiene standards while reducing maintenance costs.
Product Maintenance Support
Comprehensive technical support includes installation guidance, commissioning procedures, and maintenance training. Our helpline provides direct access to engineering expertise, with spare parts guaranteed for 10 years post-discontinuation to maximise system longevity and reliability.
Custom Engineering Solutions
Tailored temperature control solutions for unique applications, including specialist shower systems, clinical taps, and process-specific mixing requirements. Our engineering team collaborates with clients to develop innovations that address emerging industry challenges and regulatory changes.
