Through the BIBUS webshop, you can easily order the innovative proportional valves from ROSS. These valves are used to control the flow of liquids

 or gases based on a proportional ratio.

But what makes this new generation of proportional valves, the Gen 4.0, so special? And what distinguishes them from other valves? In this article, you can read more about the advantages of the Gen 4.0 proportional pressure control valve..

Benefits of the ROSS proportional valve Gen 4.0

The Gen 4.0 has the ability to detect problems before they cause product failure. The valve can identify various problems and relay these signals to maintenance personnel or the machine's control system.

In addition, the Gen 4.0 proportional valve has a self-diagnostic function that constantly monitors the status of the valve and responds to any abnormalities. An example is measuring the rate of pressure build-up and determining if it is within the required range. If it is not, the valve signals the maintenance personnel or control system.

In addition to the self-diagnostic function, the Gen 4.0 also monitors external factors such as supply voltage, current, pressure and ambient temperature.

Finally, the valve provides a communication interface, which allows the status of the valve to be known continuously to maintenance personnel and the control system. The valve features an LED indicator that lights green when all controlled values are within specifications

In addition, the Gen 4.0 proportional valve has the familiar quality features you know from ROSS valves namely:

• Resistant to dirt
• Very fast regulation
• High volume flow
• Smart functions
• Modbus communications

Proportional valve for the glass industry

With the introduction of the ROSS Proportional Valve Gen 4.0, the glass industry has an innovative valve at its disposal, which offers real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance( signals after 50 and 65 million cycles) and extensive communication capabilities.  

By detecting potential problems early, product failures can be prevented and unnecessary machine downtime avoided.
