COVNA, a recognized leader in the fluid control industry, today announced the launch of its new, high-performance compact electric actuator. This next-generation product represents a significant leap forward in valve automation technology, offering superior performance, unprecedented versatility, and a groundbreaking cost structure.

A key innovation of this new actuator is its entirely proprietary design. Every component, from the internal gearing mechanism to the robust external housing, has been engineered from the ground up by COVNA’s in-house research and development team. This holistic design philosophy ensures not only optimized performance and durability but also enables an unparalleled level of customization. For clients with specific operational parameters, COVNA can now tailor an actuator solution—a service known as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Original Design Manufacturer (ODM)—to meet precise application requirements.

Expanding its application scope, the new actuator breaks the limitations of its predecessors. While the previous models were primarily designed for ball valves, this new series is engineered to be fully compatible with both ball valve and butterfly valve bodies. Furthermore, it supports a significantly wider range of valve sizes, providing engineers and system integrators with a single, reliable solution for a greater variety of automation challenges. This versatility helps to streamline inventory and simplify system design.

In line with the principles of Industry 4.0, the new compact actuator is equipped with integrated Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This allows for remote monitoring and control via a smartphone application, giving operators real-time access to valve status, diagnostics, and operational control from anywhere. This feature is designed to enhance operational efficiency, facilitate predictive maintenance, and improve plant safety.

Perhaps the most disruptive feature is its cost-effectiveness. By leveraging a completely autonomous design and manufacturing process, COVNA has successfully engineered out the inefficiencies and third-party costs associated with older models. The result is a substantial reduction in the unit cost, making advanced, smart valve automation more accessible to a broader market without compromising on quality or performance.
