 COMPANY PROFILE
Sirca International SpA was founded in the late seventies, and started doing business as a manufacturer of complete
automation and pneumatic regulation systems.
Our flagship product is rotating pneumatic quarter-turn actuators which are compact, lightweight and highly reliable.

Subsequently, our company entered the Italian market with the production and sale of rubber-seated butterfly valves,
double eccentric butterfly valves, ball valves and check valves.
In time at Sirca International we began marketing and producing accessories to actuate, control and regulate valves.
These were installed on our own valves and actuators in order to offer our customers complete “assemblies” that are
capable of meeting the most varied system requirements.

Beginning in the 1990s, our company began looking at foreign markets and in a short time we started exporting more
than 60% of our production.
This type of market development requires continuous product innovation as well as continuous effort to maintain product
competitiveness and quality.
With this motivation and these objectives, with the arrival of the new millenium we at Sirca International began designing
and producing the triple eccentric butterfly valve metal-seated that are currently top of the range of the valves produced
at Sirca.

The main strong points of Sirca International SpA lie in our product quality, competitive price, large warehouse stocks and
in the reliability of our services. These confirm our status as a Leading Company on the national and international markets.

Two type of model: AP and APM series.

AP type AP series, with single adjustment, allows only the
adjustment of the stroke of the pistons in opening
position 90° ± 3°.
APM series, with double adjustment, allows to adjust the
stroke of the pistons in closing and opening of ± 5°.
Dual piston rack and pinion design for compact
construction, symmetric mounting piston. One compact
design with identical body and end caps for double acting
