Prevost Remote Controlled Pneumatic Valve

Description

Prevost Remote Controlled Pneumatic Valve

Efficient System Management for the Modern Workshop

The Prevost Remote Controlled Pneumatic Valve is a high-performance industrial ball valve designed for the automated management of PPS (Prevost Piping System) aluminum networks. Unlike manual valves that require physical access, this valve is operated by a pneumatic actuator, allowing you to open or close your main air headers from a distance using a simple control switch or an automated energy-saving kit.

By facilitating the easy isolation of air sectors, this valve is the primary tool for reducing energy waste and increasing facility safety.

Key Features

• Pneumatic Actuation: The valve is toggled via a pilot air signal. This eliminates the need for complex electrical wiring at the valve site, making it ideal for high-reach installations or environments where moisture and dust are present.
• Full-Bore Design: Engineered to maintain the “Full Flow” characteristics of the PPS system. The internal diameter of the valve matches the pipe, ensuring zero turbulence and zero pressure drop even at high CFM demands.
• Automatic Sector Isolation: Perfect for “zoning” a large facility. You can shut down air to the paint booth, the CNC department, or the assembly line independently, preventing leaks in those areas from draining the main tank during off-hours.
• “Grip Concept” Integration: Built with the same 100% aluminum body and stainless steel gripping teeth as the rest of the PPS line, ensuring a seamless, leak-free connection to your existing piping.
• High-Cycle Reliability: The internal ball and seals are precision-machined for longevity, designed to withstand thousands of open/close cycles without losing their airtight seal.

The Energy Saving Advantage

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a manufacturing plant. Most “hidden” leaks occur at the tool end or in flexible hoses. By installing the Prevost Remote Controlled Valve, you can link your air supply to your shop’s “lights out” routine. When used with a Prevost EKITVP, a single turn of a key at the exit door shuts down the entire system, ensuring your compressor stays silent and your energy bill stays low until the next shift begins.

Ideal Applications

• Overhead Main Lines: Control air flow in high ceilings without needing a scissor lift or a pull-chain.
• Energy Management Systems: Integrating air isolation into a centralized “smart shop” control panel.
• Safety Isolation: Quickly shutting down air to a specific machine or area during an emergency or for maintenance (LOTO).
• Automated Production: Using a PLC signal to open air lines only when a specific machine is powered on.

Maintenance Tip

To ensure the actuator functions smoothly for years, it is recommended to supply the pilot signal through a Prevost ALTO Mini-Filter, ensuring the control air is free of debris and moisture.
