JOVE Group

JOVE Group is a family-owned industrial manufacturer based in Torrelavega, Spain, with more than fifty years of history and a presence in over 65 countries. The group gives strategic direction to two specialised brands:

  • FJ | Fernández Jove — valves, actuation and the PRIOR valve control platform
  • HTS | Hawke Transit System — safety sealing systems for cables and pipes

Both brands manufacture in Europe for marine, offshore, energy and industrial projects where reliability is not negotiable.

FJ | Fernández Jove

FJ Fernández Jove

FJ is a manufacturer and technical integrator for naval and industrial projects. The company designs, builds and commissions complete valve packages under its own brands SAVAL and PRIOR — from the valve itself to actuation, hydraulic power and the control platform.

SAVAL valves

SAVAL marine and industrial valves are manufactured in Europe for critical services. The range includes gate, globe, check, safety, ball, butterfly and quick-closing valves, with classification society approvals where required.

PRIOR valve control platform

PRIOR is FJ’s valve remote control system (VRCS). It can run as a standalone platform or be integrated with a ship’s platform control system (IPMS). The same architecture covers electric, hydraulic and pneumatic actuation, with control cabinets, hydraulic power units and a graphical operator interface.

Electric actuators

FJ electric actuators

Valve remote control with electric actuators for high positioning accuracy. Suited to installations where electrical equipment is available and precise valve travel is required.

Hydraulic actuators

FJ hydraulic control cabinet

Hydraulic VRCS is the preferred choice in seawater and fuel systems, where valves must operate reliably. FJ supplies the control cabinet for hydraulic valves together with a standard hydraulic power unit (HPU).

Pneumatic actuators

FJ pneumatic actuators

Pneumatic VRCS is valued for simplicity and fail-safe behaviour in shipping. It is a practical choice where compressed air is available and valves must operate quickly.

Communication with actuated valves

  • Parallel control
  • Modbus RTU
  • Profinet
  • Other PLC / SCADA protocols
  • Simple or double communication architecture

Control interface

The PRIOR operator interface is built for daily use on board and in plant rooms:

  • Role-based access control
  • Equipment information
  • System documentation
  • Alarm and historical data management
  • Diagnostic tool
  • Direct operation during tests and emergencies

Engineering and systems

FJ delivers turnkey projects from detailed engineering to commissioning. One technical responsibility covers the valve, its actuation, the HPU or control cabinet, and the PRIOR platform — including lifecycle support.

HTS | Hawke Transit System

HTS Hawke Transit System

The purpose of HTS sealing systems is to maintain the integrity of a firewall, bulkhead or deck through which cables, pipes and other services pass. The transit seals against fire, EMS, water, radiation, gas, chemicals, explosion, ultraviolet light, smoke, vermin, vibration, electromagnetic interference, hydrocarbons and other external threats.

Why HTS?

  • Increased safety
  • Total inspectability
  • Flexibility
  • Speed of assembly
  • Cost effectiveness
  • Quality product
  • Certified by major class societies (DNV, Lloyd’s Register, ABS, Bureau Veritas)

Where to use HTS?

Whenever a wall or bulkhead is penetrated by any type of cable, pipe or conduit, occupants and the structure are exposed to fire, smoke, water ingress, vermin, toxic gases and other threats. HTS transits are used on naval and commercial vessels, offshore units, energy plants and critical infrastructure.

MCT sealing solutions

The Hawke MCT range includes rectangular and round frames, circular transits, sleeves, tolerant and EMC blocks, compression systems and installation tools. Cables and pipes pass through; the transit stays sealed and inspectable.
