Case Study: Pentair Valve Bodies

Project Brief: Aluminium valve actuators with hard anodised internal bores and chemical resistant epoxy decorative powder coating on the external surface

Industry: Engineering

Organisations: Pentair Valves & Controls

Finish: Hard Anodising and Powder Coating

Pentair leads the global market in providing engineered flow management solutions to industries, and pride themselves on safe, sustainable, efficient and profitable operations. Pentair's advanced aluminium valve activators are a special product designed for demanding engineering jobs, and for this reason Pentair specified a strict coating regime, asking that the epoxy coating be applied within 24 hours of the hard anodising being completed, and without any epoxy being deposited on the working surface or blocking any of the valve holes.

Our Industrial team developed unique production methods and special fixtures to make this possible, and repeatedly deliver high quality hard anodised and powder coated components to tough, tight specifications that other businesses had deemed impossible.
