Description
This progressive pressurisation valve is designed to ensure a controlled and gradual air supply to pneumatic systems. By progressively increasing air pressure, it minimises the risk of sudden pressure surges that could damage sensitive components or cause abrupt movements in actuators. The valve is essential for smooth start-up and safe operation in compressed air networks, optimising system efficiency while enhancing safety.
Key Features
- Gradual Air Supply – Prevents sudden air pressure surges, ensuring a smooth and controlled system startup.
- BSPP Female Thread – Provides secure connections and compatibility with standard pneumatic systems.
- Adjustable Pressurisation Time – Allows for precise control over the rate of air introduction to the system.
- High Flow Capacity – Capable of handling up to 6,400 l/min, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
- Enhanced Safety - Reduces the risk of uncontrolled cylinder motion and mechanical shocks.
- Energy Efficiency – Optimises air usage and prevents unnecessary stress on pneumatic components.
- Durable Aluminium Construction – Designed for reliable, long-term use in demanding industrial environments.
- Optimised for Pneumatic Systems – Ideal for air tool operation, compressed air networks, and automation applications requiring controlled pressurisation.
This progressive pressurisation valve is an essential component for systems where controlled air introduction is crucial for protecting pneumatic components and ensuring safe operation.
