UK-based Pneumatrol is a specialist manufacturer that provides engineered pneumatic solutions for use within hazardous and non-hazardous environments. The company has a reputation for providing pneumatic solenoid valve solutions within hazardous and non-hazardous environments. For over 50 years, it has developed the technical and manufacturing expertise together with the market knowledge necessary to meet the stringent demands of the process industry, including petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, distilling, and food and beverage. With an extensive range of approvals, Pneumatrol solenoids are the standard specification within many world-class manufacturing companies.
The hazardous area approved pilot operators (ExnA, Exm, Exme, Exd and Exia) are available with various international approvals – ATEX, IECEx, FM, GOST CU TR (Russia) and NEPSI (China). They can be direct mounted to all valves meeting CNOMO fixing dimensions, such as the well-known ranges of Namur and remote mounted valves.
Now, the most popular variants of Namur and remote mounted solenoid valves are available on a three week lead time, which include: C15; Reflex; E2318; and E2518.
The coil options (with standard voltage) available on this improved lead time include: Safe Area, Exd and Exia.
The Namur mounted solenoid valves are designed for direct mounting onto ¼ turn pneumatically operated valve actuators meeting Namur standard fixing dimensions.
The C15 range is well known for its durability and long life expectancy, also it is suitable for most weather conditions including low temperature down to – 40°C. The Reflex valve is value engineered for safe area applications, with long life expectancy.
The remote mounted solenoid valves have a well-established design with wide operating temperature range. Both E2318 and E2518 ranges are pilot operated solenoid valves, and are fitted with single coil spring return function with internal pilot air feed.
The majority of devices are available with SIL 2 & 3 certification (3/2 solenoid valves including Namur mounted valves where used in 3/2 mode).
