We are often asked if Custom Valve Concepts Kates Flow Rate Controller would benefit blending & batching systems, and the answer is yes! Blending & batching systems require pressure to remain constant so that the system does not get disrupted. The Kates design is self-contained and will be a cost-effective addition to your system.
