COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE NEWS
Some Corporate recognition for ourselves......

Skeans Engineering & Machinery was proud to celebrate 40 Years of Pneumatic Component supply in May.  Skeans has, over the years, expanded our product breadth and what started out as an air valve, cylinder, filtration, regulation and coupling supplier has become a full line Pneumatic and Automation solution provider.  Skeans now sells air generation product lines through to point of use air dryers, flow controls, hose and couplers and everything in between including air piping distribution systems, vacuum products and shock absorption.  Over the 40 years while our business has transformed, so too have our customers.  Skeans was once traditionally a Forestry market supplier but in recent years we have expanded our markets and have become involved in literally every industry you can think of, from aviation, transportation, medical, blow molding, dairy, mining, printing, packaging and so many more.... you name it and Skeans has a customer doing it.

Skeans is ideally set up to help our customers with the needs of today.  We have application specialists on hand, and expert advisors available should you need them.  The new SKEANS is the same as the Skeans of old, we are just bigger and better than ever!!  Here's to 40 YEARS of Pneumatic Supply!

NEW PRODUCTS - # 1

 BULLET VALVE

'BV' SERIES

 
The NEW bullet valve represents an evolution in valve technology only available from MAC. The Bullet Valve utilizes 'lifting' solenoid technology. The MAC 'lifting' configuration is unique in that the valve maintains a balanced design signature feature of a MAC Valve.  Shifting forces  are consistently high and response times are repeatable regardless of inlet pressure fluctuations. 2-way & 3-way configurations of the "BV" cartridge (9mm & 10mm dia) are available.

Skeans has samples in stock so call our Sales Department today for more information
