productTwo of the valve operation industry’s leading brands have joined forces under a new name. Netherlocks and Smith Flow Control have combined to form Sofis. Customers will benefit from a more diversified organisation with a wider portfolio of valve safety and operation products.
productSofis valve operation has installed a safety system for bulk handling at logistics company Limpens Elsloo which prevents contamination due to incorrect filling of silos. Thanks to the smart key system, Limpens Elsloo can now rest assured that no errors will be made when filling and emptying over 100 silos.
productBy preventing incorrect valve line-up with the installation of a valve management system, Sofis has ensured that a well-known tank storage provider has significantly reduced its operational and financial risk exposure.
productIn one of the largest interlock orders of the last 10 years, Sofis is to supply 4500 Netherlocks interlocks to an EPC contractor delivering the first phase of a heavy oil development programme for the Kuwait Oil Company. The interlocks will mainly be fitted to pressure safety valves and pig traps.
