As a professional valve casting factory, we are committed to delivering superior quality solutions for global valve casting suppliers and industrial customers.

Types of Pump and Valve Castings

Balasen manufactures custom pump and valve castings according to customer drawings rather than supplying one fixed catalogue of standard parts. Component feasibility is evaluated according to material grade, pressure-boundary requirements, internal geometry, section thickness, machining allowances and inspection criteria.

Pump shells are supported by an existing Balasen project record. Other pump and valve component types listed below are available for drawing review and should only be presented as completed production examples after the corresponding project records and photographs have been verified.
