Pneumax has added the new cost-effective Eco 22 solenoid valve to its product offering. Available with 32 mm and 64 mm ports in 3/2, 5/2 and 5/3 versions, this new Italian-made series of valves comes with an aluminium valve body and spool/seal arrangement which optimises both the flow rate and the valve switching time. “We pride ourselves on offering innovative, versatile and reliable products designed to meet the needs of various industry sectors, therefore we are pleased to add the Eco 22 series to our range,” says managing director, Deon Steenkamp.

This compact series is on average 40% cheaper than the traditional 488/484 Eco valve also supplied by Pneumax. The valves can be supplied with or without the solenoid coil. They have an average life of 15 million cycles depending on the application and air quality. Repair kits with seals and spools are available for overhauling the valves. Manifolds are available from 2 to 10 valve stations.

Monostable or bistable versions are available and include an integrated technopolymer solenoid operator with 9 mm stem and built-in manual override.

“Customers realise the quality and cost benefit of a European product being on offer at a fraction of the expected price,” concludes Steenkamp.
