At Fleyenda Flow, we believe that a valve is more than just a mechanical component — it's a vital control point that drives precision, efficiency, and safety in complex systems. This belief was once again validated when we partnered with a client from Australia specializing in erosion spray equipment for industrial coatings and surface treatment.

Understanding the Challenge

Our Australian client was developing a high-performance erosion spray system that required fast and accurate delivery of paint or coating materials. However, conventional valves were too slow and imprecise to meet the system’s demanding requirements. The core problem? The delay in valve actuation was causing inconsistencies in spray timing, leading to wasted material and potential chemical reactions within the coating compounds.

In spray systems like this, reaction time is critical. Even a few seconds of delay could mean the difference between a perfectly treated surface and a compromised one. The client needed a valve that could:

• Fully open or close in 3 seconds or less
• Deliver consistent, repeatable actuation under continuous use
• Withstand the chemical and pressure conditions of various paint and solvent mixtures

Fleyenda’s Custom Valve Solution

After reviewing the system architecture and media characteristics, our engineering team recommended a custom-designed electric ball valve featuring:

• Fast open/close time of 3 seconds to achieve near-instant flow control
• Corrosion-resistant internal surfaces, compatible with a range of industrial paint formulations
• Precision electronic actuation, allowing the valve to respond quickly to system commands without overshooting or delay

The fast-acting electric actuator was calibrated to deliver reliable cycling performance, even during rapid-fire operation. This gave the client a critical edge — the ability to fine-tune paint delivery with pinpoint accuracy, while also avoiding unwanted chemical interaction due to stagnant material in the line.

Seamless Collaboration and Results

Throughout the project, Fleyenda worked closely with the client’s technical team, providing prototype testing data and real-time engineering support. Adjustments were made to match the client’s spray pattern and viscosity requirements, ensuring compatibility with both water-based and solvent-based coatings.

The results were immediate:

• Faster system response improved production speed and consistency
• Precision metering minimized waste, saving material costs
• Valve reliability enabled the client to scale their solution confidently
