NEW CNC machine installed improves machine times by 300%
A new Citizen Miyano CNC machine with twin spindles and twin turrets has now been installed and already proving its worth as a £250k investment by making parts in 1/3rd of the times previously made on the machine it replaced. As our business levels continue to grow and the demand to maintain short lead times increases, the CNC machine from Citizen was viewed as a key piece of equipment required to support the strategic needs of the company.
Pressure Tech completes supply of 108 Hydraulic Regulators with 100% OTIF delivery
Pressure Tech recently completed the supply of 108 x LF690 hydraulic regulators to our Authorised Reseller, Hydraserv, in Norway. The project was for a key system builder supplying several HPUs for a project in Brazil. All 108 regulators were delivered in time and in full to meet with the customers needs.
TIS Order Sees SS-690 Reworked For Remote Subsea Operation
Pressure Tech were asked to provide a design solution to enable the remote set point control of one of our subsea regulators during its service under water. A regulator’s set point is configured during its build at our unit in Glossop, UK. The regulator is then supplied as ‘set and lock’ - any changes after this point must be physically conducted, either prior to system installation or during maintenance intervals. Our solution? A closed loop actuator enabling the customer to control set pressure point constantly via an electronic signal during regulator operation. The actuator is fully sealed, IP69K rated and has a sea water depth rating of up to 3000m.

Canadian Registration Number We are pleased to announce recent confirmation of CRN approval for our LF, MF, RF and BP series pressure regulators!
The Canadian Registration Number (CRN) is a unique number issued by each province or territory in Canada by an authorised authority for any boiler, pressure vessel or fitting that operates at a pressure greater than 1 barg (15 psig). The approval process required our Engineering team to submit full design calculations for all pressure containing parts in accordance with ASME B31.3.
This initial approval applies to Alberta in Canada, with approval granted by the Alberta Boilers Safety Association which is the independent appointed regulator of pressure equipment for the province of Alberta.
We are currently in the process of securing CRN approval for all other provinces including Ontario.
Latest Investment at Pressure Tech! At the end of June there was lots of activity in the Pressure Tech Ltd machine shop with the arrival of our latest investment! The first part of the mammoth task was to temporarily move outside three of our existing machines and a bar feed to make a path for our new Doosan SMX 2100 series machine. Once the new machine was in, the original machines were then put back in place and connected up.
Why did we opt for the SMX 2100? This machine really packs a punch with tool to tool changes in 1.8 seconds, and chip to chip changes in 7.8 seconds. Tools can be loaded into its carousel even if the machine is still running to reduce downtime between set-ups, and worn tooling can be replaced without having to stop the machine.
The key advantage of the SMX is its ability to efficiently handle large batch runs, which is critical for us as we look to match our output inline with our record-breaking order intake. The SMX's barfeed accommodates up to 2.1 meter length bar, with the ability to load 6+ 2.1 meter bar lengths for lights-out operations... which we plan on doing lots of!
Typically incorporating Inconel® X750 diaphragm sensed elements for strength and flexibility, this range includes options from gas cylinder regulators to ATEX certified (94/9/EC) heated regulators.
Typically with ceramic seating, these include our hydraulic range with precision machined and fully supported sensor elements to cover pressure ranges up to 1,034 bar (15,000 psi). Port sizes from 1/8" to 3/8".
Medium-flow primarily for gas service with diaphragm-sensed elements to control up to 10 bar (145 psi), and piston-sensed elements covering up to 414 bar (6,000 psi). Ports 1/2" to 1".
High-flow featuring diaphragm and piston-sensed with port sizes from 1/2" to 3" using threaded or flanged connections. Pressure control available up to 210 bar (3,045 psi).
A back pressure regulator accurately controls the inlet pressures to any process. Our range covers port sizes from 1/8" to 2" and control pressures from 0.1 bar (2 psi) to 690 bar (10,000 psi) on gas or liquid applications.
Our hydraulic regulators feature precision machined sensing elements for control to 1,380bar (20,000psi) and self venting is available with captured vent ports. Port sizes from 1/4" to 3/4". Ratio- or dome-loaded.
From drones to buses, and forklifts to refuelling solutions our products include, among others, an EC79 approved pressure regulator and a TPED approved self-closing gas cylinder valve.
Our brass regulators are cleaned and degreased within the guidelines of ASTM G93 for equipment used in oxygen-enriched enviroments, and intended for use on critical life support or hyperbaric diving applications.
Designed to operate at depths of up to 3,000m, our regulators can either use external seawater pressure as a reference pressure, or, they can be sealed to operate at topside ambient pressure conditions.
If you need to discuss an application or project, request a price or if you have any other query, we are available to speak from Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 17:00 (UK time).
