These small, compact 3/2-way valves with integrated quick vent are mainly used for highly automated intralogistics solutions to efficiently store goods and products and then automatically transport them as quickly as possible to a desired destination or packaging station. They are used for a wide variety of consumer goods, in industry, in the food sector, and in the textile industry. Within the logistics solution, the valve has the task of maintaining the direction of the goods during removal or diverting them in the other direction by means of a switch.

As the name suggests, this valve consists of a 3/2-way valve with an integrated quick vent. The valve has an 8 mm pressure connection that passes through the valve and also supplies the next valve and all other valves with compressed air. The 4 mm pressure outlet is automatically pressurized when the valve is not electrically controlled and thus has a NO (normally open) function.

When the 3/2-way 10 mm valve is electrically actuated, the outlet becomes unpressurized and the compressed air in the line is vented to the environment in a very short time via the integrated quick vent. The switch for product transport is directed in the correct direction by the application of compressed air or the rapid venting of the compressed air. If necessary, or in the event of a power failure, the valve can also be operated manually.

At SFS-Fluid Systeme GmbH, this control valve is available with integrated strands or with a plug connection in accordance with DIN standards and is manufactured from injection-molded plastic parts for an optimal price-performance ratio.
