With the introduction of this new sanitary valve family, Festo has become the global single-source supplier for control-cabinet-to-pipe automation for utility processes.
Festo will introduce sanitary ball, angle seat, and pinch valves at Interphex 2017, March 21-23, at the Javits Center in New York City. With this introduction, Festo now offers automation from control cabinet to pipe for steam, inert gases, water, cleaning solutions, and powders applications.
Interphex visitors to the Festo booth can also see AquaJellies – bionic, autonomous jellyfish – in their 500 gallon/1,900 liter tank.
The new automated valve solutions feature the company’s VZBE ball valves, VZXA angle seat valves, VZQA pinch valves, DFPD quarter-turn actuators, VSNC NAMUR pilot valves, and the SRBC family of open/close sensor boxes. For proportional flow applications, Festo offers the CMSX digital positioner. Festo research and development efforts are currently engineering advanced diagnostics into the valves to support Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things functionality.
The new valves from Festo feature 316-stainless steel bodies and Teflon seats. Valves are rated up to 1,000 psi and 400° Fahrenheit (200° C). These 3A approved valves feature tri-clamp and welding connections.
