Festo Introduces the VZWP - An up to 40 Bar Servo Controlled Solenoid Valve for Water, Air, and Neutral Media Process Applications
The Festo solenoid valve VZWP features a piston seal instead of a diaphragm seal and a maximum operating pressure of 40 bar, an ideal universal process valve for water, air, and neutral media. Bottling (secondary circuit), irrigation, well engineering, sanitary engineering, water treatment, and mixing plants, pipeline construction, and pneumatic automation systems are ideal choices for the process valve.
Hauppauge, NY March 07, 2013
(March 4, 2013) - The new Festo solenoid valve VZWP, which features a piston seal instead of a diaphragm seal and a maximum operation pressure of 40 bar, is an ideal universal process valve for water, air, and neutral media.
The use of a sealing piston instead of a diaphragm means that even high pressures can be controlled with a large nominal diameter. The valve closes automatically if power is lost.
The valve can be operated wherever there is a pressure difference between the valve input and output. This includes applications where the medium is expelled into the open air or flows into an unpressurized container downstream of the valves. The VZWP is used for gaseous and liquid material flows up to a viscosity of maximum 22 mm²/s in factory and process automation.
The VZWP are 2/2-way valves, normally closed and are piloted piston poppet valves. Units are made of brass valves and customers have a choice of nitrile rubber and fluoro elastomer seals. The valves come with either NPT or G threads. Units should preferably be mounted with the coil on top. Sizes range from 1/2 to 1 inch. Operating pressure is from .5-40 bar. Process valve nominal pressure is PN 40. Differential pressure is .5 Bar.
Applications for the VZWP include: Bottling plants (secondary circuit), irrigation plants, well engineering, sanitary engineering, water treatment, mixing plants, pipeline construction, and pneumatic automation systems.
"To our process valve offerings, including ball, butterfly, and gate valves, Festo has now added gas and liquid valve solutions," said Craig Correia, process industry segment manager, Festo. "These process valves provide OEMs and end users with a new one-stop-shop for both process and discrete automation solutions from Festo, one of the most respected automation suppliers in the world."

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
