General-purpose butterfly valves are versatile components used in fluid control systems to regulate and control the flow of various liquids and gases. These valves feature a disc-shaped closure element, known as the butterfly disc, which rotates on a central axis to control the flow passage. General-purpose butterfly valves are popular due to their compact design, lightweight construction, and ease of operation. They offer quick and efficient shut-off capabilities and can handle significant flow rates with minimal pressure drop. These valves are widely used in industries such as water treatment, HVAC, chemical processing, and industrial applications where reliable flow control and cost-effective solutions are required. With manual or automated operation options, general-purpose butterfly valves provide a reliable and economical choice for a wide range of fluid control applications.

Check valves are mechanical devices designed to allow fluid—whether liquid or gas—to flow in only one direction, preventing backflow that can damage equipment or disrupt system performance. Commonly used in industrial, plumbing, and MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) systems, they automatically open with forward flow and close when flow reverses. Available in various types like swing, ball, and inline designs, check valves are essential for ensuring system integrity, protecting pumps and compressors, and maintaining operational safety.

Flow control valves are essential devices used in fluid control systems to regulate the flow rate within a pipeline or system. These valves allow for precise adjustment of flow rates, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. By controlling the opening or closing of the valve or by using throttling mechanisms, flow control valves can increase or decrease the flow rate as desired. This enables operators to maintain stable flow conditions, prevent fluid overload, and achieve accurate flow control for various applications. Flow control valves are commonly used in manufacturing, oil and gas, water treatment, and HVAC systems, where precise flow management is critical for operational success.

Diaphragm valves are designed to regulate the flow of liquids and gases by using a flexible diaphragm to create a secure seal.

Solenoid driven metering pumps are precision devices used for accurate and controlled dispensing of fluids. These pumps utilize a solenoid-driven piston or diaphragm to deliver precise volumes of liquid, making them ideal for applications that require precise dosing, such as water treatment, chemical processing, and laboratory environments.

Pneumatic actuators are devices that use compressed air to create mechanical motion. They are commonly used to control valves, dampers, or other devices in industrial processes. Pneumatic actuators offer advantages such as fast response, simplicity, and robustness. They find applications in industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, or oil and gas, enabling reliable and efficient operation.

Solenoid valves provide fast, reliable on/off control of liquids and gases by utilizing an electric coil to actuate the valve. Compact and efficient, they integrate seamlessly into automated systems for applications such as cooling, lubrication, chemical dosing, and process isolation. Available in a variety of materials and designs to handle different pressures, temperatures, and media.

Sealless magnetic drive pumps are a type of pump that uses magnets to drive the impeller rather than a sealed shaft and bearings. This design eliminates the need for a mechanical seal, making them ideal for use in applications where a bearing or seal failure could release hazardous or toxic fluids. Centro’s selection of sealless magnetic drive pumps is available in various sizes and materials to suit your particular application. With our easy-to-use online purchasing system, you can be assured that you're getting the best possible pump for your money.

Electric actuators are devices used to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. They provide precise and controlled movement for valves, dampers, or other mechanisms in industrial automation or process control applications. Electric actuators offer advantages such as accurate positioning, remote control capability, and integration with control systems. They find applications in industries such as manufacturing, water treatment, or HVAC systems, enabling automated and efficient operation.

Industrial pumps move liquids from one place to another, whether you’re handling water, chemicals, or thick, heavy fluids. Most pumps fall into one of two main categories: positive-displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps (also called non-positive-displacement pumps).

Positive-displacement pumps move a set amount of liquid each cycle using seals or valves. They’re the go-to choice for thicker, high-viscosity materials—like slurries, oils, or adhesives—because they deliver a steady, reliable flow. Centrifugal pumps use rotating impellers to keep liquid moving, making them ideal for high-volume jobs like circulating water, solvents, chemicals, and light oils.

At Centro, we carry a full range of industrial pumps to match almost any process or application. Our selection includes air-operated double diaphragm (AOD) pumps, lobe pumps, submersible pumps, hose/peristaltic pumps, metering pumps, progressive cavity pumps, sealless mag-drive pumps, hydraulic pumps, and a variety of pump control systems.

Whether you’re looking for precision metering, chemical compatibility, or rugged performance, our team can help you find the right pump for the job. Browse our pump categories to compare options, or call Centro for expert guidance on selecting the best pump for your operation.

Actuator accessories encompass a range of components and peripherals that enhance the functionality and performance of actuators. They include mounting brackets, couplings, positioners, limit switches, or control modules, among others. Actuator accessories allow for easier installation, precise positioning, feedback monitoring, or integration with control systems. They complement the operation of actuators in various applications, improving system efficiency and control.

Angle seat valves, also known as angle valves or angle-seat piston valves, are versatile and reliable devices used in fluid control systems. These valves feature a unique design with a 90-degree angle between the inlet and outlet ports, allowing for efficient flow control and excellent sealing capabilities. The valve body typically houses a piston that can be pneumatic or electric in response to the actuator. This movement controls the flow of the fluid, allowing precise regulation and shut-off. Angle seat valves are widely used in applications requiring accurate control of liquids or gases, such as industrial processes, water treatment systems, and HVAC systems. They are known for their durability, high flow capacity, and contaminant resistance, making them a popular choice in various industries.
