What our clients are saying

Flow Control Valve Retrofit Delivers Fast Results

“Working with PS-Buehler has been easy. We collaboratively tackled the TCA flow control valve trim erosion issue that the original valve supplier could not resolve even after numerous trim set changes. Going with the 3D insert solution saved weeks of delivery time. It also saved us money by fitting the 3D solution trim into the original valve body VS. the purchase of a whole new valve. This eliminated us from having to cut out the original valve and perform the code welds to install a new valve.”
