Advanced Flexible Solutions supplies a range of process instrumentation and compressed air products. The company has recently been awarded the southern African distributorship for Therm-Omega-Tech.

This is an ISO 9001-certified company which designs and manufactures reliable, compact self-actuating valves for temperature control and the conservation of energy. In a market where any form of energy-saving device is welcome, Therm-Omega-Tech products will be seen as invaluable.

The valves can be used in a wide variety of industrial applications. The range covers the following functions: fluid temperature sensing; freeze protection; scald protection; ambient temperature control; pipe or tank temperature control; instrument and analyser protection; and tempering and mixing systems such as hosedown systems and safety showers.

According to Wayne Dye at Advanced Flexible Solutions, the range of Therm-Omega-Tech products will allow the company to expand its market and offer its clients better support.
