Control over the operation is essential, as the fold needs to precise, in the middle of the linen.

Buschjost solenoid valves lend themselves well to applications such as these. With manual override, and low power consumption, the valves offer a low-cost, easy-to-handle, effective solution. With a larger orifice port and high-pressure capabilities, the solution offers a high flow rate. A fabric diaphragm handles the high cycle demands of such an applications well.

Irrigation applications in an agricultural or farming context would use solenoid valves to automatically irrigate flowers, bushes, plants or crops. Buschjost valves have special features for added value in such applications.

With an extra EPDM seal for damped operation, excessive vibration in the pipeline after valve shut-off is prevented.  The valve has stainless steel screws to prevent rust and corrosion typical in high humidity applications, such as irrigation. The manual override option allows flexibility in the operation as it can be easily converted to manual operation. Finally, the valve is fitted with a drain screw to allow the water to drain from the valve, preventing pipes freezing.

Many of Buschjost’s products are designed to have specialist features, which add that extra value to an end-user application, such as the ‘Click-on’ range of solenoid valves. The solenoid coil easily clicks on and off the valve, meaning the solenoid is easily interchangeable, without the need for tools.
