Collection:Festo Air Solenoid Valves for Petrochemical and Harsh Conditions VOFD

Festo Air Solenoid Valves VOFD are directly controlled pilot valves designed for exceptionally demanding environments. These valves excel in process automation within the chemical and petrochemical industries, where reliability and safety are paramount. Their robust construction makes them ideal for outdoor installations, capable of withstanding harsh and dusty conditions without compromising performance.

The VOFD series features a NAMUR flange pattern, making them particularly well-suited for quarter turn actuators. This compatibility enhances their versatility and ease of integration into existing systems. For applications requiring heightened safety measures, variants with specific safety functions are available, ensuring operational integrity in critical processes.

Notably, the VOFD valves are offered in redundant versions, making them suitable for safety-related systems up to SIL3. This redundancy provides an additional layer of protection in high-risk environments. For industries operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, variants compliant with the EU Explosion Protection Directive (ATEX) are available, ensuring safe operation in hazardous areas.

When selecting Festo Air Solenoid Valves VOFD, consider the specific environmental conditions of the installation site, the required safety level, and compatibility with existing actuators. The valve's ability to perform in challenging outdoor conditions, its safety features, and ATEX compliance should be key factors in the decision-making process for industrial applications requiring reliable and safe pneumatic control.
