deliveries

CREATING IDEAS THAT WORK HARDER

Our engineers are dedicated to the development of solenoid valves, process

valves, and customized valve manifolds and solutions.

Fully equipped clean room facilities, in several locations, meet the specific

needs of demanding market sectors such as medical device and

semiconductor manufacturing.

Our manufacturing locations in Germany, Switzerland, UK and USA enable

us to stay close to our customers, and take advantage of local

technological expertise.

The fluid control group facility in Geneva, for example, that develops

sophisticated miniature valve solutions, draws heavily on the

miniaturization and precision traditions of the Swiss watch-making

industry.

As a subsidiary of IMI plc, and part of the global Norgren group, we provide

our customers worldwide with the reassurance of dealing with an

established global supplier. This gives financial strength and security, and

all the advantages of a global sales and service network.

ENGINEERING INNOVATION

RELIABLE, DURABLE & PROVEN



VALVE INTEGRATIONNorgren provides intelligent products that can be quickly and easily integrated

into customers’ projects.

VALVE MANIFOLDSPre-assembled, ready-to-use valve manifolds offer outstanding flow to size ratio.

They are suitable for a wide range of applications, wherever an extremely

compact and fully assembled valve system is required for fluid control.

CUSTOMISED SOLUTIONSNorgren’s strength lies in the provision of complete solutions tailored to exacting

specifications. Our custom-made manifold assemblies combine precision

engineering with size and weight savings, performance and reliability.

ENGINEERING SMARTERSOLUTIONS

» FOR THIS APPLICATION, NO LESS THAN 11 SOLENOID VALVES, 1 PRESSURE REGULATOR AND 7 FITTINGS WERE REQUIRED IN A VERYCOMPACT SOLUTION WITHOUT COMPROMISING PERFORMANCE

01 FLATPROPWith up to 200 l/min flow rate (@4 bar / 58 psi), Flatprop sets new standards in the field

of proportional fluid control. Its very good performance to size ratio is ideal for portable

medical devices.

02 CLICK-ON® VALVESClick on is the latest and most varied design within the Buschjost range of solenoid

valves. Due to its modular system, fast availability for the customer is guaranteed.

03 ASV (AIR SUSPENSION VALVE)Automotive Air Suspension systems are driven by the need for high performance, quality

and competitive prices. The solenoid valves that controls these systems must not only be

100% reliable but must be able to be fitted quickly and with complete confidence. The

Webber ASV valve, with its integrated 'bayonet' style fitting was designed with these

needs in mind.

04 DIRECT OPERATED SOLENOID VALVEWith a wide variety of coil, orifice and mounting options, KIP can provide a solution to

meet many demanding requirements. With a wide range of materials and up to 80 bar

(1200 psi) ratings, we can design the correct valve to fit your application.

MANIFOLDS ANDCUSTOMER SOLUTIONS

01 MANIFOLD FOR LAB EXTRUDERSManifolds are often used to reduce required space envelopes, simplify installation and eliminate

unnecessary tubing and fittings. As a result, customers benefit from a reduction in the cost of materials

and an ease of installation.

02 ASSEMBLY FOR AIR SUSPENSIONCompetitive advantage means providing the customer with a solution that will help them increase sales

and reduce total cost of ownership. The single axle assembly for air suspension is one such example. The

valves and sensors are integrated into a single unit that reduces possible leakage points, and increases

production throughput for the automotive manufacturer. The assembly is also suitable for use as an

aftermarket fit on a wide range of light trucks and vans.

03 COMPACT DISTRIBUTORThis compact distributor features 40 Chipsol 8mm valves allowing the complete device to be half the size of

its counterpart made with 10mm valves. This is particularly useful for clean rooms where space is at a

premium.

04 PRINT CARTRIDGE REFILLING MANIFOLDIn-house machining capability allows KIP to custom design and deliver engineered solutions to meet

customer requirements. KIP can also integrate related components to deliver a complete subassembly

reducing total customer costs and increasing throughput.

05 DUST FILTERS CONTROLLERFor the control of dust filters there are numerous special requirements. Specifically adapted

to this application Buschjost offers controls that include all the features needed for this

application. Integrated and pre-wired pilot valves are also available.

06 HIGH SPEED VALVEA major OEM wanted a partner with fluid control expertise to jointly develop a product that

would give it a competitive edge in the marketplace. It was this expertise that Webber was

able to provide. The result was a unique valve that offered high flow, high speed and very long

life in a small package.

07 SEAT LUMBAR CONTROLThe customer had a manifold solution with four 15mm valves to control the seat's cushions.

FAS 10mm Picosol was able to provide the same flow as a 15mm valve. By doing this, the

customer was able to use an 8 valve manifold providing more controls over the seat's

cushions, giving the end customer more comfort.

08 CUSTOMISED LIQUID LEVEL ASSEMBLYKIP's mission has always been to provide customers with

customized assemblies to help reduce costs and provide

value. By working closely with customers we understand

their applications and how best to solve their problems.
