Valves
Valve selection can be the anchor of a properly designed piping system. Too much pressure drop and one may not get enough flow though the system or a pump may overload. A valve that sticks open could result in the waste of expensive chemicals or flooding of an area. Panner has a wide selection of valves and the expertise to apply them to the most difficult of services.
BALL VALVES are ideal for smaller size lines, and have a very low pressure drop. They are inexpensive, easy to actuate, come in a variety of different materials and connection choices, and widely used. They are not ideal for liquids that coat or can crystallize, abrasive liquids, or for throttling applications.

DIAPHRAGM VALVES are more expensive than their ball counterparts, yet have several advantages. Only the diaphragm and the body come into contact with the liquid so they are ideal for ultrapure, abrasive, or coating chemicals. They also can be throttled down to control flow or pressure accurately.
The newly introduced GEORGE FISCHER Type 514 diaphragm valve incorporates many features never before seen in a plastic diaphragm valve. This valve has Cv values at least double the conventional design. This high flow design makes it very ENERGY EFFICIENT.

BUTTERFLY VALVES are most commonly used in large diameter pipes, and are rugged, able to handle a variety of different applications. These valves are flanged into the line, and range in sizes from 2" to 48" in most materials, and can be provided manually or actuated.
SOLENOID VALVES are an electrically operated valve which opens or closes when power is applied to the valve and changes state when the power is shut off. They are ideal for on-off applications, batching, or level filling and emptying. These valves range from 1/8"-2", and can be provided in many different 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way control options.
CONTROL VALVES are used to achieve or maintain control of a measurement parameter in a process. This parameter could be flow, temperature, pressure, % concentration, or level. The valve will accept an electric signal, such as a 4-20mA signal, and proportionally open or close to the target setpoint. The opening or closing of the valve causes a change in pressure drop across the valve allowing the flow to control the desired value. It is important to note that this type of valve is not selected by the existing pipe size, but rather by the Cv requirements. Please contact us if you have a need for sizing assistance.

CHECK VALVES are used to prevent back flow and to maintain pump prime. There are three main types of check valves- ball, horizontal swing, and wafer. Ball check valves rely on a ball which floats in a chamber when the process flows in one direction but will block the valve orifice when the flow reverses direction. Ball check valves typically max out at 4". For larger size lines, horizontal swing check valves are designed to be used in either a vertical or horizontal position. Positive flow shutoff is achieved by means of a weighted or spring assisted disc. Wafer checks act much the same way but have a more narrow profile and a lower Cv. Both of these types of valves can go to 12".

Valve actuation provides for automatic control of valves by means of either electric or pneumatic power. There are many reasons to actuate valves including freeing labor from mundane cycling jobs, control of valves placed in hazardous or hard to reach environments, and the ability to tie valve control into central systems like PLCs.
