Customizing valves and pumps -Controlling high-pressure media-

December 25, 2023

Takasago has extensive experiences in customizing valves and pumps pressure requirements.

Below are some examples where valves and pumps are required to control high pressure media, including viscous fluids.

Case 1:

  • I. Customization Requests
    (1) Change pressure specifications
    (2) Control the timing of fixed dispensing

  • II. Background:
    ・Field (Industry): Pharmaceuticals
    ・Country or Region: Asia
    ・Application: Develop tablet manufacturing equipment.
    ・Problem : I want to be able to repeatedly dispense fluid with high viscosity, but the current system cannot dispense at the targeted timing.

    Click here for the Diaphragm Pump - PKP series

  • IV. Customization :
    ・Optimized the power balance between the spring and the actuator, and designed a pump that can discharge higher viscosity fluid (150cps) than our conventional products.
    ・The new product has achieved 1.5 times higher discharge pressure than the conventional product according to our inspection standards. Our customer provided very high praises on the prototype.

Case 2:

  • I. Customization Requests
    Change pressure specifications

  • II. Background:
    ・Field (Industry): Analysis
    ・Country or Region: Czech Republic
    ・Application: Developing equipment to elute heavy metals from waste in landfills.
    ・Problem : I am looking for a valve that can handle corrosive solutions at high pressure.

Case 3:

  • I. Customization Requests
    (1) Change the pressure specifications
    (2) Use the tubing of choice
    (3) Extend the tubing life

  • II. Background:
    ・Field (Industry): Life Science
    ・Country or Region: Japan
    ・Application: Developing AI-based cell sorters
    ・Problem : I am looking for a valve that can flow high pressure fluid using the desired tube size and material.

  • III. Base Product Information

  • IV. Customization :
    ・Optimized the power balance between the spring and the actuator to withstand the desired tube size and material, and up to the desired pressure.
    ・The shape of the part that holds the tubing has been optimized to extend the life of the tubing.

Note: Details such as specifications, etc., may be changed without notice.


Case 4:

  • I. Customization Requests
    (1) Change the pressure specifications
    (2) Use the valve with continuous power supply

  • II. Background:
    ・Field (Industry): Analysis
    ・Country or Region: Japan
    ・Problem : I want to use a valve that can handle high pressure with continuous energization, was not able to find a suitable valve.

  • III. Base Product Information
    ・Diaphragm Valve - NSV series

  • IV. Customization :
    ・Newly designed the actuator and the spring to increase the pressure resistance.
    ・The desired continuous energizing specification was achieved by installing a Hit & Hold circuit to reduce power consumption.
