Pneumatic automation

Compressed air is already available in most industrial plants and can be used directly for pneumatic applications. Where electrical power is not available, shut-off elements, control valves and valves can be controlled cost-effectively and safely, and existing processes can be easily expanded or modernised without major installation work. For example, existing ball valves or butterfly valves can be easily retrofitted with pneumatic rotary actuators and automated.

Whether for individual control or complex process plants: pneumatic systems can be flexibly adapted to different production requirements. Compressed air can be easily transported and distributed over long distances. TRI-MATIC supports you in the implementation of compact valve solutions right through to complete pneumatic control systems and customised assemblies.

Whether in heat, cold, or even under extreme temperature fluctuations, pneumatic actuators operate reliably regardless of temperature. Pneumatics offer decisive advantages, particularly in safety-critical areas. In the event of a compressed air or power failure, single-acting rotary actuators can automatically open or close valves, thereby preventing damage to the production process. If a line or device leaks, the compressed air system remains safely operational. Unlike hydraulic systems, no oil droplets, other liquids, or contaminants are released. This makes pneumatic systems particularly attractive for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

With intelligent electro-pneumatic positioners such as the TRI-Positioners, liquids, gases, or solids can be precisely controlled and metered. Speed and force can be continuously adjusted for linear and rotary actuators. This makes pneumatic systems ideal for applications requiring controlled movements and precise process control. When companies combine pneumatic actuators with limit switch boxes for position feedback and on-site position indication, the current position of the valve can be monitored by the control system at any time, and the switching signal can be reused for subsequent control commands.

Pneumatic systems enable lightweight, compact, yet powerful designs. They also offer low maintenance costs and a long service life. TRI-MATIC provides robust, low-maintenance components such as pneumatic actuators, valves, and electro-pneumatic positioners, all designed for long-term, cost-effective operation.
