Trade fairs such as the Valve World Expo in Düsseldorf are ideal for launching new products on the market or better positioning established products. It is even more interesting if the product in question can be labelled as excellent. To this end, the trade magazine ‘IAD - Industriearmaturen & Dichtungstechnik’ has launched the Valve Stars Awards in cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf.
The Valve Stars Awards recognise the best product in each of the categories valves, actuators, seals and automation.

Nominated in the category VALVES:
BAROMAX SPINDLE PUMPS BY WEH
SPINDLE PUMPS FOR PRESSURE GENERATION UP TO 10,000 BAR
When precision and reliability determine success or failure, you can‘t afford to compromise. Whether in research, material testing, or calibration of measuring instruments, the challenges are always the same: How do you generate high pressures in small volumes with absolute precision and stability? How can you ensure that your measurements, tests, and calibrations are always accurate and reproducible? The answer to these questions is baromax Spindle Pumps from WEH®.
Nominated in the category ACTUATORS:
TIGRON BY AUMA
ELECTRIC ACTUATOR FOR AUTOMATING VALVES IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
The TIGRON is an explosion-proof electric actuator for the automation of valves in the oil & gas industry. It provides torques up to 1,000 Nm. In combination with AUMA valve gearboxes, it is possible to operate ball valves and butterfly valves at a torque of up to 675,000 NM as well as globe valves with thrusts of up to 217 kN.
Nominated in the category ACTUATORS:
FAILSAFE BY SCHIEBEL
CO2 REDUCTION WITH THE ENERGY-SAVING FAILSAFE ACTUATOR FROM SCHIEBEL
Energy transition, decarbonization and CO2 footprint - these are current buzzwords that are reflected in the new technology used in Schiebel‘s electromechanical failsafe actuators. When developing the new series, in addition to the requirement to reliably open or close a valve using a spring, the challenge was to save as much energy as possible in the operation of the actuator in order to achieve a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions over its service life.
