V&A are stockists of Manual, On/Off & Control Valves and Actuators for the Chemical, Refining, Pulp & Paper, Mining and Power Generation Industries. Supported by the V&A Network throughout Southern Africa.
Valve & Automation provide solutions to this tough industry where most valves do not last more than a few weeks on abrasive slurries. Machinery and plant must be capable of dealing with media with a high amount of solids, abrasive material, corrosive chemicals as well as high velocities. Engineers and plant operators must be able to have complete control over their operation and select pipeline equipment that is reliable and able to withstand these harsh conditions.
Valve & Automation together with their global partners have a long history working with the Chemical, Petrochemical and Synthetic Fuel companies. Challenges in these industries vary from aggressive chemical handling to extreme pressures and temperatures. Production and engineering managers are required to meet the challenges of reducing emissions while still having to meet the tough challenge of increased plant safety as well as reduce plant maintenance and production costs.
The pressure on sugar mills to remain competitive has increased significantly in modern times with efficiencies and cost effectiveness of mills being monitored more closely than ever before. With sugar mills being located in southern Africa and the SADAC region some are fortunate to be close to suppliers and engineering facilities while many are remotely located making quick repairs and replacement of valves more difficult.
With a wealth of experience and expertise, we repair almost every type and size of control valve and actuator. Our capabilities range from small regulators to large bore ball, butterfly, triple eccentric and steam conditioning control valves with all the expertise that is required to assure customer requirements are fulfilled.
24 hours per day, year after year, continuously working with corrosive and erosive fluids under high pressure and at high temperatures. Splashing of pulp and alkalines, vibrations created by refiners and pumps, pressure shocks, crystallisation and scaling, impurities such as sand and metal wires. It is under these conditions that valves installed in the pulp and paper industry have to work and to work properly as any failure will result in unacceptable production losses.
Valve & Automation have been supplying manual, on/off and control valves for power generation plants for more than 25 years. While high pressures and temperatures pose a challenge for valve design, engineers have a unique challenge when selecting Automatic Recirculation Valves (ARC Valves) also known as Leak Off Valves to protect steam driven and electrically driven feedwater pumps.

Valve & Automation together with their global partners have a long history working with oil refining companies. Pressure to comply with tougher legislation in South Africa has increased over the last few years whereby refineries will be required to further reduce emissions while still having to meet the tough challenge of increased plant safety as well as reduce plant maintenance and production costs to remain competitive.
