Equipment | Emech Temperature Control Valves
Emech water temperature valve with electronic actuator.
Emech's Mixing Valve uses wear-resistant, precision ceramic disc components for smooth operation.
The new Emech Steam Valve mixes steam and water to precise hot water temperatures for critical cleaning and sanitation applications.
Energy-Saving Emech Electronically-Controlled Precision Mixing Valves from BIRKO
- Controls output water temperature within +/- 0.9° F regardless of input temperatures or pressures.
- Valves available for water only or steam and water to fit most standard size lines.
- Provides precise control over water temperatures for critical process and cleaning applications
- Perfect for controlling mash water and yeast fermentation temperatures in the brewery
Ruggedly built – There is no better water mixing valve system available.
Emech Control specializes in the design and manufacture of precision control fluid mixing valves. Based on patented ceramic disc valve and electronic actuator technology, the Emech System provides precise and effective control over the fluid output temperature for critical process and cleaning applications. Breweries use them to control mash water temperature and tank temperature for jacketed yeast fermentation tanks.
The Emech System consists of a 316 stainless steel valve body and an electronic actuator running on 24 V dc. Internal ceramic disc valve components provide smooth, precise movement and incredible resistance to wear and corrosion. A calibrated temperature probe returns readings to the actuator which regulates output to the preset temperature within +/- 0.9° F. Thorough mixing, regardless of inflow pressures, is achieved through the patented “Swirl Mix” internal design.
