Ceramic air valves reduce maintenance cost
The story line has been repeated endless times, maintenance personnel have to deal with directional control valves that stopped working far sooner than they should - slowing down or stopping production. The valves could be located in a harsh environment, like a tire plant or a foundry. Or it could be that the factory just routinely has poor quality "house" compressed air. Rexroth Ceram™ valves to the rescue. By using ceramic plates for basic sealing, the Ceram valve can tolerate environmental conditions such as corrosion, dust, dirt and sand that end up in an air line far better than traditional spool design valves.

Chemical Resistant Paratubing Increases Flow Lines Without Increasing Inventory
RAVENNA, OH: New capabilities and greater size ranges offer Fluoroplastic Paratubing customers more versatility than ever before. Fluoroplastic Paratubing from Parker TexLoc is a unique tube consisting of 2 to 4 tubes longitudinally thermally welded to create one conduit consisting of multiple individual tubes. Paratubing offers the ability to run several fluid lines as one entity and then split the tubes apart for branching to different connectors when needed. Paratubing is available in Texflour™ FEP and PFA and is offered in sizes as small as .031" ID x .030 wall up to 3" OD. These materials offer a non-stick surface, are chemically inert and non-leaching and both materials have a low refractive index, allowing for visual inspection by operators. Also, paratubing is offered in colors allowing for distinct identification of different fluid lines. --- Parker/Parflex Div.
