Industrial Hydraulic Valve Solutions

Choosing the Right Valve for Smooth and Efficient Operation

Hydrastore supplies a wide range of industrial valves designed to keep hydraulic systems working safely and efficiently. Industrial valves are specifically built for the heavy demands of large-scale and continuous-operation environments. They combine precision, durability, and compliance with international standards, making them essential for manufacturing, processing, and mobile machinery where downtime is not an option.

What Are Industrial Valves?

Industrial valves control the direction, pressure, and flow of hydraulic fluid within a circuit. By managing these three factors, they dictate how actuators extend, how motors rotate, and how systems respond to load. They are engineered for high-duty cycles, consistent performance, and reliable operation in demanding industrial conditions.

Types of Industrial Valves

Directional Control Valves

Directional control valves determine where hydraulic fluid travels. Hydrastore supplies CETOP directional control valves such as the DHE Cetop 03 and DKE Cetop 05, with or without solenoid coils. Cartridge valve designs are also available for installations where space is limited.

Pressure Control Valves

Industrial systems depend on accurate pressure management. Hydrastore’s range includes:

• Relief valves (HM & KM modules) to protect against excess pressure.
• Pressure reducing valves (HG & KG models) for controlled downstream pressure.
• Overcentre and counterbalance valves (CBCA) to manage lifting and load-holding applications.

Flow Control Valves

To maintain consistent actuator speed, flow control valves regulate hydraulic fluid movement. Options include:

• HQ & KQ flow control modules.
• HC & KC pressure compensators.
  These components support smooth and efficient system operation across a range of applications.

Check & Safety Valves

Check valves stop reverse flow, keeping circuits protected. Hydrastore supplies HR & KR modules, alongside pilot operated check valves for applications that need positive load holding. Safety valves add a further layer of protection for industrial systems that run continuously.

Proportional & Servo Valves

Where precision is critical, Hydrastore offers proportional and servo valves. The range includes:

• DHZE proportional directional valves (Cetop 03).
• RZME proportional relief valves.
• Servoproportional directional valves for high-performance systems.
  Paired with electronic drivers, these deliver accurate, responsive control.

Modular Valves & Accessories

Supporting components such as standard modular valves, ISO cartridges, CETOP bolts, and DIN connectors ensure easy integration and long-term reliability.

Industrial Applications

Industrial valves are central to sectors such as construction, manufacturing, chemical processing, agriculture, and offshore industries. They provide safe control of actuators, regulate hydraulic motors, and manage hydraulic energy across complex circuits where performance and compliance are critical.

FAQs

What is a CETOP directional control valve?

A CETOP directional valve is designed to mount on CETOP-standard plates, allowing easy interchangeability within industrial systems.

How does a pressure relief valve work?

It opens at a set pressure to divert fluid safely back to tank, protecting the system from over-pressure.

What is the role of proportional and servo valves?

They provide precise, responsive adjustment of pressure and flow, vital for automated or high-performance hydraulic applications.

Why use pilot operated check valves?

They lock fluid in a cylinder until pilot pressure is applied, ensuring reliable load holding.

Hydrastore’s wide selection of industrial valves ensures hydraulic systems remain safe, reliable, and efficient under the most demanding conditions.
