Re-breather function

The valve range offers a choice of coils suitable for many applications across a wide range of industries including chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, water & wastewater and food processing. Coils are available with intrinsic safety as well as with other protection methods such as non-sparking and encapsulated protection all to IEC EX (ATEX).

"The VSNC valve is also ideal for dirty environments due to its re-breather function,” begins Jacqui Hanbury, product marketing manager at Festo. "This feature allows the clean compressed air to be fed back to the spring chambers within the valve ensuring that the dirty air is kept out, which increases the life of the product."
