Industrial valve
Pyroalliance designs and produce a variety of Emergency Safety Devices. They are designed as the last resort when unexpected events happen and human intervention/access is limited.
The pyrotechnic based product, by nature, offers a very high level of reliability and unmatched performances in a small footprint. They can remain in “stand by” mode for years before solicitation and react as good as the day it was installed.

The present set of valves, completely hermetic before operation, allows opening or closing a fluid or gas flow in a pipe. The valve is reusable after replacement of consumable parts (frangible tubing, cartridge, piston…).
All our products are designed and manufactured under Pyroalliance design authority. For ATEX use, please contact Pyroalliance for specific references.
