Controlling gaseous and liquid media

Controlling economicallyand sustainably
Valves with electromagnetic coil systems are widespread in order to automatically control gaseous and liquid media. The current demands are therefore to save as much energy as possible across industries, and to use moresustainable, low-maintenance solutions. Switching pressures and requirements for low noise emissions also come into play. Bürkert is supplying thefuture-proof answer to these questions with solenoid valves based on theKick and Drop coil technology.

23Bring your industry
into the future
Kick and Drop coils are ideal when long duty cycles and highpressures are required, such as for gas or tap water protection
valves. They also ensure safe operation in electromagneticallysensitive environments – and anywhere where water containing
lime poses a problem.

The coil thatcuts costs

Durable, silent andenergy-saving: with theKick and Drop coil, you will
not only save money, butalso protect the environment
in the long term.

The Kick and Drop coil can be operated at 50 or 60 Hz with direct
or alternating voltage. This reduces the diversity of variants for yoursolenoid valves, and makes storage and product handling easier.
This will help you to stay flexible in the long term. The compact
valves can also be easily retrofitted into existing systems.

9REDUCE YOUR ANNUAL ENERGY OUTPUTSThe Kick and Drop coil enables impressive energy savings, compared to typicalcoils: it reduces energy consumption by up to 80%. At the same time, solenoidvalves with this technology enable up to three times the switching pressure ofconventional valves. Our portfolio includes three coil variants with different power
ranges to suit your application.

10KICK AND DROP: THE TECHNOLOGY
THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
Coils with Kick and Drop technology consist of inrush winding and holding winding.
We have completely rethought the tried-and-tested technology with our solenoid valves:
rectifier and switching electronics are directly located in the coil. Proprietary control units
can be consigned to the cable plugs of the past. This saves time during start-up andensures longer maintenance intervals for the valve.
A short current pulse generates the required starting power to open the valve. Abouthalf a second later, the holding winding is changed to inrush winding in series. This thenreduces the required power and ensures that holding operation will save an enormous
amount of energy.

generates a very highstarting power for about
half a second.

2 The holding winding is thenswitched to inrush windingin series. This drasticallyreduces the energy demand.

11CONTROLLED QUALITY,SECURELY DELIVEREDWe wind, encapsulate and test our coils ourselves.
This independence ensures that solenoid valve production
is traceable. An automatic function test of all coil takes
place after each production step.
