The advantages of using decentralised process control techniques are well known, however the cost of installing a brand new set of intelligent valves in a production line can be prohibitive.
Festo has introduced the VZWF valve, a force pilot operated solenoid valve that can be used with water, air, and neutral media.
An ultra-high pressure control valve which is designed to operate on applications with up-stream pressures of 4,135bar is the latest addition to the Badger Meter Control Valve range.
The new NF 2.35 from KNF - believed to be the smallest 16bar diaphragm pump on the market - delivers up to 100ml/min at 16 bar, continuously and over its entire lifetime.
The new intelligent Positioner TopControl BASIC, Type 8694 from Bürkert is compatible with hygienic process environment. The compact design is optimised for integrated mounting on the ELEMENT and CLASSIC valves ranges as well as third party process valves.
