Valves

Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valves are an affordable, lightweight type of metal valve that is used to interrupt the flow of product in various industrial processes. They are notable for their large center disc, which is connected to an actuator that regulates the flow of liquid through the component. SEMCOR carries butterfly valves by AMRI, Apollo and other manufacturers.

Ball Valves

Ball valves are one of the most common types of industrial flow regulators. As the name implies, they feature a floating ball that is moved by the valve handle to block the flow of liquid when necessary. Ball-type valves available from SEMCOR include Richter plastic-lined valves, ITT Cam-Tite metal valves and more.

Check Valves

As an authorized Resistoflex distributor, SEMCOR carries the company’s full catalogue of horizontal and vertical poppet-type check valves. These plastic-lined valves feature your choice of polypropylene resin, PVDF resin, or PFA resin liners, making them suitable for use with anything from corrosives to high-purity fluids. With just one moving part, they are virtually maintenance-free, while remaining highly effective at preventing backflow and back-pressure.

Diaphragm Valves

Industrial diaphragm valves are available in several sizes and material configurations. Typically controlled by a compressor, they are clean and form a reliably tight seal. However, they are limited in the types of pressure and temperature conditions that they can be used in. Diaphragm valves available from SEMCOR include Resistoflex plastic-lined valves, SED sanitary diaphragm valves, ITT Dia-Flo diaphragm valves and more.

Rupture Pin Safety Valves

Rupture Pin manufactures a proprietary type of safety valve that is known to be highly accurate and reliable, even in the most demanding heavy-duty applications. Common applications for Rupture Pin safety valves include oil and gas processing, well drilling and pipeline development, chemical and food
processing, and more. Follow the link on this page to learn more.

Knife Gate Valves

Knife gate valves are available in both stainless steel and plastic construction to support a wide range of processes and applications. They feature tight shutoffs in one or two directions, and are designed to be used for on-off isolation of corrosive or abrasive liquids. They are often used in pulp and paper processing, mining and petrochemical industries.

Solenoid Valves

Key functions of a solenoid valve include shutting off, releasing, dosing, distributing or mixing fluids in a number of industrial processes. Featuring an electromechanically operated valve, they can be easily automated for use in pneumatic and hydraulic power systems, as well as various manufacturing applications. If your process requires a solenoid-type component, SEMCOR carries both standard and custom valve components.

Slurry Valves

Slurry valves typically feature a plastic or PTFE lining to provide additional protection and accuracy when handling corrosive components. As a result, they are often used for mining minerals processing, construction minerals processing and other heavy duty applications that would quickly wear out the internal components of a conventional industrial valve.

Severe Service Valves

Severe service valves are a category of product containing specialized valves and actuators designed for the harshest conditions. These include extremes of temperature and pressure, as well as highly caustic materials encountered in oil and gas refining, chemical processing and manufacturing, and other applications. Contact SEMCOR and let us design a custom industrial valve to your specifications.

Sanitary Valves

When sanitary conditions are a necessity, special valves and other components are essential to preventing contamination. SEMCOR supplies sanitary valves by manufacturers such as Sharpe, SED and Waukesha. Whether you need a manual valve, a plastic-lined valve or anything else, we can supply you with a product that meets your high standards for microbe and contamination resistance.

Flow Control Options for Industrial Systems

Industrial processes often require precise control over liquid and gas movement. SEMCOR provides valves designed for throttling, on off service, and directional control. These products are available in multiple body styles, materials, and end connections to accommodate corrosive chemicals, abrasive slurries, high purity fluids, and general purpose media. Whether a system requires metal, plastic lined, or sanitary construction, we supply options that match the operating environment.

Isolation and Backflow Prevention Solutions

Isolation valves and check valves play a major role in protecting equipment and maintaining safe operating conditions. SEMCOR offers a range of designs that support one way flow, prevent back pressure, and provide tight shutoff when needed. Options include poppet style check valves, lined valves for corrosive service, and configurations suited for both horizontal and vertical installation. These components help maintain system integrity while reducing maintenance demands.

Valves for Demanding and Specialty Applications

Some processes require valves built for abrasive, high temperature, or high pressure environments. SEMCOR supplies products designed for these conditions, including heavy duty safety valves, slurry valves with protective linings, and knife gate valves used for thick or particulate laden media. These valves are engineered to handle challenging service conditions while supporting long service life and consistent operation.

Automation and Actuation Capabilities

Automated valves support improved process control and reduced operator intervention. SEMCOR provides valves compatible with pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuators, as well as solenoid operated designs for precise dosing, mixing, and shutoff tasks. Our team assists customers in selecting actuation methods based on response time, power availability, and system integration requirements.

Sanitary and High Purity Valve Options

Facilities in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries require valves designed for clean operation and contamination control. SEMCOR supplies sanitary valves constructed from materials that support washdown procedures, smooth flow paths, and hygienic performance. These products are available in manual and automated configurations to support a wide range of regulated applications.

Support for Selection and Customization

Choosing the right valve involves evaluating process conditions, material compatibility, and long term maintenance needs. SEMCOR provides guidance throughout the selection process and offers customization options for applications that require unique materials, coatings, or actuation setups. Our team works closely with customers to ensure each valve aligns with system requirements and operational goals.
