Valves play a central role in managing flow, safety, and efficiency across industrial systems. As industries continue to adopt digital technologies and demand higher performance, diaphragm valves have evolved beyond their basic shut-off function.
KDV Flow is leading this transformation by integrating smart features, enhancing actuator interfaces, and developing new materials that extend valve life in harsh conditions. These advancements support improved automation, compliance, and uptime for engineers working across process industries.
Smart Control Through Actuation
Actuators are now standard in automated systems, and KDV’s valves are designed with this compatibility in mind. The P75 actuator, for example, offers precise flow modulation and fail-safe operation, ideal for critical applications requiring secure shut-off.
These actuators can be paired with KDV’s diaphragm valves to support remote operation, real-time monitoring, and safety interlocks. Whether in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, or chemical processing, these smart combinations improve response times and reduce manual oversight.
Sensor Integration for System Insight
Beyond actuation, KDV has introduced sensor-compatible valve systems that provide feedback on valve position, temperature, and flow conditions. This data enables predictive maintenance and supports digital plant infrastructure.
By capturing real-time metrics, engineers can reduce the risk of failure, optimise maintenance schedules, and achieve higher operational reliability.
Innovations in Materials and Design
Reliability also depends on diaphragm durability. KDV’s triple-layer diaphragms offer increased resistance to wear, chemicals, and pressure cycles. With multiple sealing layers, they help prevent leaks and maintain performance in demanding applications.
This innovation is particularly valuable in high-purity or high-cycle processes, such as pharmaceutical production or fine chemical dosing.
Supporting a Range of Industries
KDV’s diaphragm valves are engineered to meet the needs of multiple industries—from food-grade manufacturing and bioprocessing to corrosive media handling in chemical plants.
With a broad selection of body materials, linings, and actuator types, these valves can be customised for specific requirements. This flexibility, combined with KDV’s international supply chain, makes them a reliable choice for global projects.
The Future of Flow Control
Engineers today face increasing pressure to balance performance, safety, and sustainability. Valve technology must therefore deliver not just functionality, but also intelligence and longevity.
Through smart design, durable materials, and automation-ready engineering, KDV Flow is helping shape the next generation of diaphragm valves—designed to perform, built to last.
