It also uses standardized manifold blocks.<br \/>\n&#8220;We&#8217;re certain winch and other marine companies will be delighted with this improvement, which is a more simple and cost effective solution&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the new SM3 valve housing enables manifolds to be bolted from the bottom, instead of the usual way of bolting through the top, which allows the designer more space to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Originally released in China, this has already generated great success with its customers who are experiencing greater accuracy and efficiency for their applications.<\/p>\n<p>KPM worked in close association with a valve supplier to create this product at a more cost effective price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kawasaki Precision Machinery UK (KPM) is saving marine companies time and money with a new development for its Staffa motors.
