Fluid Handling
Hexelus imports and distributes high-quality fluid handling products. These products are key in industries such as wastewater and water treatment, chemical, mining and metal, refining, and many more. With our focus being on customer satisfaction by identifying the right solution for your application, you can rest assured that we have the solution for you.
Actuated & Manual Ball Valves feature trunnion safety design and dual sliding seats for ultra-smooth operation and repeatable bubble-tight shutoff with an incredibly long cycle life. Available 2-way and 3-way, in 3/8″– 4″ sizes.
POM check valves prevent reverse flow of liquids. Designed with no wetted metals, they are ideal for use with water, extremely corrosive liquids, and ultra-pure liquids. Most importantly, POM check valves do not use ball designs common with competitive checks. This eliminates the leaking, rattling, distortion, and other problems ball checks are prone to.
Prevent system overpressure, regulate backpressure, provide automatic bypass, and eliminate siphon with high performance relief valves. 2-way and 3-way designs, straight and angle pattern, choice of elastomer or PTFE diaphragm design. ¼” – 3″ sizes.
Air Release Valves provide high capacity venting of gas at system start up, while Degassing Valves vent trace amounts of gas as it occurs during system operation. Vacuum Breakers open automatically in response to minimal vacuum to prevent unwanted siphonage or collapse of storage tanks. Plast-O-Matic degassing vent & vacuum breaker valves automatically seal bubble tight when not in use; air release & degassing valves automatically reseal when liquid fills the valve.
Variety of air operated, line pressure assisted, and manually operated shut-off valves in both diaphragm and globe styles. Available in compact and heavy duty designs. Options including fail-safe spring return, limit stops, visual indicator windows, and the patented Fail-Dry® early warning vent available; consult factory. Air operated pinch valves are also available, providing bubble-tight shut-off for slurry applications.
Electrically actuated valves for severe service applications for virtually all types of solutions. PTFE bellows barrier seal in both direct acting and pilot operated designs; proven million-cycle life provides lowest cost of lifetime ownership. Normally-open and three-way models available. ¼” through 3″ sizes.
Accurately reduce and regulate steady or varying inlet pressures and maintain a constant, predetermined maximum outlet set pressure. Offered in spring controlled, air controlled, differential controlled and ultra-pure designs, Plast-O-Matic regulators are consistently recognized as the industry’s top performers for maximum flow with minimal drop-off from set pressure. ½” through 3”; for 4” consult factory.
Gauge Guards barrier seal protects instruments from corrosion and clogging while maintaining high accuracy. Compact and ultra-pure zero dead leg designs available. Offered with or without gauges.
Flow, Level, and Pressure Switches signal equipment, controls or alarms as system parameters change.
Differential Pressure Gauges, Indicators & Variable Area Flow Meters indicate system conditions and changes at a glance.
Differential Pressure Flow Meters provide a high-visibility, easy-to-read alternative to rotameters, and can be mounted in virtually any position.
For safe, positive indication of flow and clarity of corrosive or ultra-pure liquids. Single-wall design for liquids compatible with acrylic; double-wall design features Pyrex inner cylinder for all other applications. Optional streamers provide instant visual proof of flow. ½” to 8″ sizes.
Constant Flow Valves provide pre-set constant downstream flow rate. They maintain constant flow with inlet pressure changes from 15 to 120 PSI (1 bar to 8 bar). Available in pipe sizes 1/4″ through 3″, with standard flow ranges from 1/4 GPM to 120 GPM. Valves are pre-set and tamper-proof.
Series VPA metering pumps are air-operated, self-priming, positive displacement type pumps designed to meter precise quantities of liquids, accurate to 1/2 of 1%. The four sizes of pumps available have a single stroke maximum delivery capacity of 7, 10, 32 or 128 liquid ounces, adjustable to deliver smaller portions.
Supply side or return side assemblies simplify piping and provide superior strength. Fully customizable Series PCWS and Series PCWR with choice of valves, flow, and pressure controls; pressure and temperature gauges, flowmeters, and virtually any conceivable combination of connection sizes and types. SeriesECWS and ECWR are express built standard assemblies.
Series PDS Provides six important functions:
• Pulsation Dampener smooths pump flow
• Surge Suppressor absorbs shocks and vibrations
• Water Hammer Arrestor eliminates dangerous pressure spikes caused by quick closing valves
• Inlet Stabilizer enhances pump performance and longevity
• Accumulator releases stored fluid during unwanted pressure drops
• Expansion Tank protects system from thermal volume increases
Calibration Columns verify pump flow rates, chemical dosing, or chemical feed systems with higher accuracy than competitive models. Constructed of UV Resistant PVC and designed for precise, efficient testing with a variety of installation options. All sizes/models carry a lifetime guarantee against yellowing or other UV damage.
