Solenoid Box

A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve used for controlling liquid or gas flow. The fundamental principle of a solenoid valve is the use of an electromagnetic solenoid to actuate a plunger, which in turn opens or closes the valve. Typically, these are employed when automatic flow control is necessary, as they can be triggered remotely and provide fast and efficient operation.

The operation hinges on electrical energy provided by the coil; when energized, it creates a magnetic field that pulls the plunger against the action of a spring or any other form of mechanical resistance. Once de-energized, either by cutting off electrical power or through built-in electronic automation, the spring force returns the plunger to its initial position.

These  valves are arranged in a Water Tight box in configurations to suit the clients requirements for the job at hand, usually from 1 to 12 units per box.

Our boxes utilise 2 position double acting valves with one port blocked to give single acting operation.

The boxes are utilized, but not limited to, the road transport industry where electric over air operation is desired.
