Product benefits
• High performance.
• It can be easily operated by machine operators.
• Suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
• The perfect valve at a great price.
Solenoid valve for individual connection
The new Core Product Range addition, VUVG-S offers an outstanding combination of good flow rate with minimal installation space, higher speed, power and easy installation. The VUVG-S has encapsulated most of the advantages of the individual VUVG valve. This valve excels in applications where limited mounting space is needed, mostly in dry or clean working environments, for example in food and end-line packaging.
Product benefits
• Increased production speed.
• Easy installation – saving you time.
• Long service life due to durability.
• Great performance at a great price.
The valves have more to offer than their price and logistics advantages. They have been designed to meet machine users’ requirements, reduce labour and increase efficiency. Festo makes their customers’ production fit for the future with innovative valves.</i>
