Clarke Industrial Engineering sluit overeenkomst met Curtiss-Wright Corporation
NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Clarke Industrial Engineering (Clarke) heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat het een licentieovereenkomst heeft gesloten met Wright Corporation (Curtiss-Wright). Krachtens deze overeenkomst is Clarkes gepatenteerde Shutter Valve™ -technologie exclusief beschikbaar gesteld aan Curtiss-Wright voor de wereldwijde markten voor maritieme defensie, Amerikaanse maritieme binnenlandse veiligheid en commerciële kernenergie.
Het model van de Shutter Valve is ‘fluisterstil’, zelfs in extreme omstandigheden. Daarnaast zorgt het voor een onuitputtelijke en precieze controle over vloeistromen, volledige doorstroom en geen enkele luchtdrukdaling, maar ook voor een vermindering van turbulentie, cavitatie en waterslag. Dankzij de zeer kleine koppel die is vereist voor deze schuif zijn minder dure actuators nodig, wat kostenbesparingen mogelijk maakt. Vanuit kostenperspectief is de klep ook gemakkelijk te onderhouden en eenvoudig te installeren, repareren en verwijderen.

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today, Clarke Industrial Engineering (Clarke) announced it has entered into a licensing agreement with Curtiss-Wright Corporation (Curtiss-Wright), whereby Clarke’s patented and proprietary Shutter Valve™ technology will be exclusively available to Curtiss-Wright for the Worldwide Naval Defense Market, the US Maritime Homeland Security Market, and the Commercial Nuclear Power Market. The Shutter Valve design is “whisper quiet” even in extreme operating conditions and provides limitless and precise flow control, zero pressure drop, and full port operation, along with reduced turbulence, cavitation and water hammer. Greatly reduced costs compared to other valves is generally achieved through its very low torque requirement providing for less expensive actuators. From an ongoing cost perspective, the valve is easily maintained and its compact design allows for simple installation, repair and removal. “We are very excited to partner with one of the world’s finest industrial companies. Curtiss-Wright has an excellent reputation for innovation and quality, precision manufacturing and cutting-edge technology for over 100 years, starting with the Wright Brothers,” said Kyle Daniels, President and CEO of Clarke. “Curtiss-Wright’s strong market position and Clarke’s industry leading valve technology are a natural combination.” James White, Senior General Manager of the Valve Group within Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division states: “Curtiss-Wright is committed to advancing our position in the industrial valve space and providing innovative solutions for our customers. As a result of this agreement, we will be able to leverage many of our existing technologies toward the implementation of the Shutter Valve in our target markets. This is an exciting and complementary addition to Curtiss-Wright’s existing product portfolio of valve technologies.” About Clarke Industrial Engineering Founded in 2011, Clarke Industrial Engineering provides premium high quality industrial control valves to industries worldwide.
