Compact solenoid valves handle aggressive liquids

A Lee Products product story

Miniature component specialists Lee Products offer their range of LFV chemically inert solenoid valves in a wide choice of configurations, for aggressive chemicals with zero-dead volume and flushable

Resistance to aggressive chemicals, zero-dead volume and fully flushable are often the key requirements for valves specified within liquids handling systems used in laboratory, medical, analytical, biotechnology and OEM applications.

To meet these demands, miniature component specialists Lee Products offer their range of LFV chemically inert solenoid valves in a wide choice of configurations.

These include a 'starfish' manifold, which is available in a configuration of 5, 6, 7 or 8 valves.

These valves, which operate with a 2-way normally closed operation, feature bi-directional flow and contoured internal passages, which facilitates complete flushing without damaging delicate samples.

The small internal volume reduces the amount of fluid needed to fill the system (transport volume) and so minimizes sample and reagent requirements.

LFV series valves are also available in a flange mount version, which means they can be grouped together very closely on 13mm centres.

The position of the flange, which is angled at 30 degrees to the ports, enables this close grouping and so minimizes the overall size of manifolds.

Also, smaller, more compact manifolds means reduced costs, because less material is needed for the manifold.

Other features and benefits include 30 ms response time, operating pressures up to 30 psig, 10 million cycles minimum and low power consumption.

The range includes 5, 12 and 24 volt models, available in manifold mount versions or with several porting options.
