FLOW REGULATOR CONTROL SYSTEM

The original Hoffer valve was designed to control cavitation or prevent slurry line plugging. Over time, its role has evolved, but it is often mistakenly marketed as a production tool.

A bypass valve maintains production by adding water—it is a dilution device. Unlike other systems, our properly engineered production system uses the regulator valve as a secondary tool to maintain top production.

🚫 A bypass valve alone cannot achieve maximum production.

✔ It can increase production by maintaining constant flow.

❌ However, it dilutes the slurry, meaning maximum efficiency is never reached.

A bypass valve should not be overused. Keeping the valve partially open for long periods reduces production, as water follows the path of least resistance.

Our System’s Solution:

✅ Closing bias programming – If the valve stays open too long, the system issues a warning to raise the ladder, ensuring the valve closes and slurry density increases.

✅ Manual operation option – Prevents shutdown due to sensor or PLC failure.
