C Valves is the name MODGAL group gave to it's subsidiary: a technological
startup company, which concluded five years of research and development investing
some five million Dollars resulting with a new technology in fluid control.
The initials LFLC define the concept and technology, described by many in the
industry as "future technology already proven". "Linear Flow Linear Control"
represents a new control concept, which is done linearly, and parallel to the flow,
as opposed to the more popular way, which is perpendicular to the flow.
The superiority of LFLC over any other way of fluid control is well known at least
to the upper part of the industry's R&D community.
The main aspect that is new about LFLC is the ability to solve all the technical
problems attached to it.
The outcome of solving all those technical problems is a line of partly patented
technical stand-alone innovations:
QRPS - A quick replacment of the piloting system based on a unique "Base Plate".
A new three-way piloting system.
A new two-way piloting system.
Injection molding of different plastic materials, light yet extremely strong, up to 6".
TSA - "Total Service Approach" expressed in a line of devices turning the service into
a reasonable relatively fast experience.
Following the new concept and succeeding in developing the appropriate
technology to be able to make it happen, the R&D team of C Valves, decided
to start the implementation of it, in water works applications. The vehicle chosen
to carry the LFLC turned out to be the M1 Series of valves.
Though designed to service the water works industry the M1 Series are already
suitable for other industries, as fueling, treated water and salty water. A few
hundred valves were installed since 1998 in very wide field test ventures addressing
the upper side of the water works market technological demands. Since the valves
were sold and not given in those test applications the only way they could have
penetrated into the market was on a performance base deal. As one can imagine
the market gave way to the newly born tech only in the extremely complicated and
problematic conditions where they were expected to be installed in the morning
and fail before dawn. On April 2001 the water outlet of the LFLC® concept, that is -
the M1 Series were officially approved by the Israeli water authority "Mekorot" for
use in all regions of Israel with a professional "positioning" of the M1 Valves high in
the sky in comparison to any other water control solution.
