Pneumatic safety valves for optimum safety

Pneumatic safety valves ensure all bases are covered in the event of a sudden emergency stop in critical pneumatic safety zones. As a supply device providing a safe exhaust function, the MS6/MS9-SV safety valve series offers a large number of possible applications and benefits, more importantly certification for Category 1, 3, & 4 safe systems and Performance level c, d & e.

Since machine safety is a key OH&S issue, if there is a sudden emergency stop, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of people and machines. Dangers of injury and machine downtime have to be avoided.

The integrated functions of the safety valves MS-SV are setting standards, systems can be de-energised in a matter of seconds thanks to reliable quick exhaust with zero residual pressure. Common to all safety valves is the integrated soft start function that ensures the system is able to restart gently and safely.
