Competitive advantages through custom pneumatic solutions from SFS

SFS’s custom pneumatic solutions optimize your product costs, minimize space requirements, and are precisely tailored to your specific technical needs. Together, we analyze your product requirements and develop the ideal solution—ranging from the modification of proven standard components to completely custom-designed solutions. Our product range extends from cylinders, valves, and pressure regulators to compact valve blocks with integrated functions.

As a full-service partner, SFS handles every step from the initial idea to the packaged product:

Development → Machining → Assembly → Testing → Custom Labeling & Packaging

Intelligent engineering, streamlined designs, and precise tailoring to the intended application reduce installation space, complexity, and process risks. At the same time, customers benefit from attractive cost structures thanks to efficient manufacturing, assembly, and shorter supply chains.

Result: A 100% tested, custom-made product that enhances our customers' competitiveness and enables the safe, efficient, and cost-effective implementation of their applications.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Example: solenoid valve control block to prevent water and ice buildup on tarpaulin roofs

We developed a custom solenoid valve control block for a client in the commercial vehicle industry that offers a system to prevent water and ice buildup on truck, trailer, and semi-trailer tarps.

Problem Statement

  • No suitable solenoid valve block was available on the market.
  • A solenoid valve must fill the hose under the tarpaulin roof with air up to a defined pressure in order to raise the roof and drain water.
  • A second solenoid valve extracts the air again when the vehicle starts moving to maintain the permissible vehicle height.
  • Since only compressed air is available in the truck, the necessary vacuum must be generated in the valve block.
Solution
  • Compact aluminum valve block with all functions integrated
  • Fast hose filling via a solenoid valve with a large nominal diameter
  • Vacuum generation and venting via a second solenoid valve with a Venturi nozzle
  • Factory-set pressure regulator
  • Small footprint and high cost-efficiency
