The Foxboro range of valves is manufactured in Germany and Austria by Schmidt Armaturen and P+W Ventil +Regler Service. Positioners are manufactured by Eckardt in France. The control valve range covers a wide spectrum of applications, from low-pressure clean media, gas and steam to very high-pressure steam and slurries. Both electrical and pneumatic actuators are available.
The range includes:
* Foxpak general-purpose compact globe control valve PN10-40, DN 15-100.
* Foxtop high-performance globe control valves with special trim options, PN 1-40, DN 15-300.
* Foxpro high-performance bellow sealed compact globe control valve PN10/40, DN 15-150, natural low noise with SilentPak option.
* Foxthree three-way compact globe control valve PN10/100, DN 15-300, mixing and diverting options.
* Foxchem PFA lined compact control valves, PN10/16, DN25-100.
