The burgeoning demand for Valvekits valve mounting kits and associated products has enabled the company to introduce three new machines to increase the scope and scale of its manufacturing abilities. New machinery is introduced as part of a continuous investment plan, designed to ensure that Valvekits stays at the forefront of technology.

A new CNC lathe now enables couplings to be machined with an outer diameter of between 150 and 300mm more rigidly and safely, as well as machining spools with flange diameters up to 550mm. A second new machine enables the manufacture of box sections with dimensions up to 600mm x 400mm and spools with heights of up to 400mm. In addition, screw cutting can be achieved at lengths of up to 3 metres.

The third new machine in the latest investment has the ability to turn flame cuts and spools with outer diameters up to 700mm. The machine uses bigger tooling to speed up the overall process.

The Valvekits machine shop operates on a 24 houra- day, 5 day week basis to meet the demands of projects of every size and description, from urgent valve mounting kits on next day deliveries to large multi-product international contracts. Products are manufactured with 100% material traceability and full ISO BS9001:2008 certification for mounting kits.
