Pneumatic valves

Pneumatic valves play a crucial role in enabling control of the flow of compressed air in various industrial applications. It is important to choose the pneumatic valve with specific needs in mind to ensure optimum performance. At AIR COMPRESSOR we have multiple options so that you can buy pneumatic valves adapted to your needs with the best guarantees of European products.

Types of pneumatic valves:

There are different types of pneumatic valves: from line valves, ideal for controlling the air flow in a pneumatic line, to reliable check or automatic valves, designed to prevent backflow and ensure safe operation. We also have safety valves, which protect your pneumatic systems from damage due to excess pressure, and bleed valves, which ensure a safe and efficient restart.

• Line valves: they can be direct or indirect action, these pneumatic valves are designed to regulate or interrupt the flow of air, oil and water. We have line valves with handle and micro tap line valves. They are perfect if you are looking for efficient automation and control solutions.
  • Technical characteristics:
    • Fuido: Aire,aceite,agua.
