ROSS Europa GmbH has developed a proportional pressure control valve with comprehensive real-time monitoring and analysis capabilities for functions like plunger-up, counter-blow, final blow or finish cooling.

The state of a ROSS proportional valve can be monitored in real-time, allowing users to identify potential problems (eg leakages downstream the valve, voltage supply, upstream pressure) before they result in product defects and unnecessary machine downtime, thereby optimising the glass container manufacturing process and avoiding unnecessary costs.

The communication interface of the ROSS proportional valve Gen 4.0 is a bus system using RS485 and Modbus.

All proportional valves of a glass container manufacturing machine can be connected by a single wire to the machine’s control system.
