Actuators & Industrial Valves in Wollongong

Essential Components for Optimal Air Flow


At Hitemp Compressed Air Services in Wollongong, we understand that the heart of every industrial and commercial business's pneumatics systems lies within the quality of its valves. As a service provider to a diverse number of industries we are able to supply a vast range of industrial valves and controls including:


  • Knifegate Valves: Predominantly used in pulp and paper industries, a knifegate valve manages the flow of fluids with a blade that rises and falls to either open or close the valve.
  • Butterfly Valves: A highly versatile device, the butterfly valve operates by rotating a disc mounted on a rotating shaft to control fluid flow, ideal for large flow volumes.
  • Gate Valves: Characterised by its 'gate' mechanism, this valve is utilised to completely stop or allow the flow of fluid, but not suitable for regulating flow.
  • Globe Valves: Known for its spherical shape, a globe valve regulates fluid flow by using a movable disc or plug mechanism against a stationary ring seat.
  • Ball Valves: This valve uses a hollow, rotating ball to control fluid flow, popular for its durability, reliability and ability to operate under high pressure and temperature.
  • Rotary Valves: Rotary valves, or rotary airlocks, are commonly used for controlling the flow of powder or granular materials, often found in industries like food processing or pharmaceuticals.
  • Pressure Relief Valves: A safety device, the pressure relief valve is designed to release excess pressure from a system when it exceeds a preset limit, preventing potential damage or failure.
  • Check Valves: The check valve allows fluid to flow in one direction and automatically prevents backflow when the fluid in the line reverses direction.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • What are the key considerations when choosing an industrial valve for my business?

    When selecting an industrial valve, consider the type of media being controlled, operating pressure and temperature ranges, flow rate requirements and the necessary level of control precision. The valve material also plays a crucial role in compatibility with the media and the operating environment.

  • How do actuators enhance the performance of industrial valves?

    Actuators serve as the muscle behind the valve, providing the force needed to open, close or modulate the valve position. This control allows for precise flow regulation, contributing to the efficiency and safety of industrial processes.

  • Can I use the same type of valve for different applications within my industry?

    While some valves are versatile, each type is designed for specific functions. For instance, a ball valve may be ideal for on off control with minimal pressure drop, while a knifegate valve might be better suited for applications involving slurry or viscous media. It is crucial to match the valve type to the application's unique requirements.
