Brands we Carry:
The MAC patented Pulse Valve series was developed to replace current diaphragm style technology and create a more robust and reliable valve solution in industrial Bag House applications, often referred to as a Dust Valve. MAC Pulse Valves are ideal to replace existing diaphragm technology in applications such as reverse jet bag houses and dust collectors, pneumatic conveying and bulk material handling.
The Pulse Valve can be ordered in one of two pilot configurations: The Integral Solenoid pilot combines fast, repeatable pulses with the addition of a Manual Operator, while our Remote Bleed version improves performance and reliability in Hazardous Locations. The main body of the MAC Pulse Valve utilizes bonded spool technology for superior reliability beyond existing diaphragm technology. A checked accumulator and a main spool with memory spring are used to ensure a shift back to the home position, for times when air supply may not be adequate. A line of adapter plates has also been released to replace existing diaphragm pulse valves with a direct drop-in, without disturbing existing plumbing.
It is now available in 4 size ranges:

MAC’s extensive line of valves approved for Hazardous Locations is distinguished by its industry leading technology and legendary reliability. Available in 2-way, 3-way and 4-way configurations, with flows up to 175Cv and having globally recognized approvals, MAC has a valve solution that will bring value to your application. The size of the Hazardous Location electrical enclosure will for some Series necessitate the use of pilot spacers. While these spacers will be included as part of the build when ordering complete valves, they will need to be ordered separately for your own conversions

Ball and manual valves come in every shape, size and designed for every application imaginable. SKEANS stocks a plethora of Ball and manual control valves and has access to countless other options. Below are just a sampling of what we have to offer. Contact our sales team today to inquire about your valve requirements.
Selecting the right air control valve to regulate system pressure, direction of flow, and rate of flow is crucial when designing fluid power circuitry. If the pneumatic valve is too big for your application, you will be wasting air and money. If it’s too small, the actuator will not function properly.
- Pneumadyne offers a variety of porting options for plumbing convenience
- Numerous configurations for added versatility
- Flow rates range from 2.90 to 57 scfm at 125 psi
- Poppet or spool designs
- Operating pressures from 26” Hg to 150 psi
- Miniature size is ideal for limited space applications
A check valve is a type of valve that allows the flow of fluid in one direction only. It works by automatically opening when the fluid flows in the correct direction and closing when the flow reverses. This type of valve is widely used in many industries to prevent backflow and ensure that fluids or gases are flowing in the intended direction. Check valves are often used in plumbing systems to prevent water or sewage from backing up into a building. They can be found in industrial applications such as oil and gas pipelines, chemical plants, and wastewater treatment facilities. Check valves are available in a variety of sizes, materials, and designs to suit different applications. Below are just some of the Check valves available through SKEANS.
The Apollo 61 Series “Soft Seat” Check Valve offer reliable tight shut-off protection against reverse flow and corrosion resistance using proven ASTM quality materials made in the USA. Ideally suited for hydronic heating and other low flow applications. Soft seat allows more resistance to vibration and may be installed in both horizontal and vertical upward flow applications. Bubble-Tight Shut-off, ideally Suited for Gaseous Service EDPM Check Disc (61-500 Standard) Straight-Thru Flow Minimizes Pressure Loss, 1/2 psi Cracking Pressure

Pneumatic isolation valves are typically the first valve following the FRL components in the line supplying compressed air to pneumatic equipment. They are critical components in any safety lock-out/tagout system. Available accessories include air mufflers, pressure switches, air pressure visual indicators, and connecting hex nipples.
Intrinsically safe devices are designed for use in hazardous environments where ignition sources such as sparks or heat may be present. They have low levels of electrical and thermal energy, preventing them from creating sparks that could ignite flammable materials. They are widely used in the mining, oil and gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, and undergo strict testing and certification to ensure their safety. Intrinsically safe equipment helps keep workers and assets safe, reduce the risk of accidents and maintain safe working environments.
