Valve terminal meets IP69K requirements

The MPA-C offers a range of valve functions and the modular sub-base design facilitates maximum flexibility to easily expand to a maximum of 32 valves or solenoid coils.

With FDA approval for all external materials and the valves being lubricated using NSF-H1 food-grade grease, the valve terminal can be used in both food and splash zones. A redundant seal system allows trouble-free, intensive cleaning with high pressure jets or foam, enabling installation in locations with harsh environmental conditions subject to cleaning in accordance with IP69k.

Offered with the electrical interface on the front or back, the MPA-C supports multi-pin, fieldbus or Ethernet communications. Individual sub-bases are combined to provide between two and 32 valve positions.

This feature ensures the correct quantity of valves is applied to any particular application, while each valve can be in a separate pressure zone if required. Depending on the level of protection required, each position can be supplied with or without manual override. 

Valve types include a 5/2-way single solenoid valve, which for safety applications can have a mechanical spring return; a 5/2-way valve with double solenoid and a 5/3-way valve, which can be exhausted, pressurised or closed in mid-position. Dual versions of 3/2 and 2/2-way valves are also available and the MPA-C 3/2-way valve can accommodate a specific air supply connection per valve if required.
