Industrial Gas Burners & Solenoid Valves for Manufacturing Plants [Stiefel]

Stiefel's valves are specifically designed for kiln uses and can withstand the heat and corrosive vapors typically seen in the firing of ceramics and the melting of glass. The ceramic armatures resist thermal expansion which keeps the valve’s alignment at 300 degrees celsius, and the silicone-coated wires in the coils prevent insulation breakdown for high-temp use. In the glass art studio’s kiln, our valves provided natural gas to propane switchover with daily use performance capability, with no degradation after two years of 280 degrees celsius daily usage. The valves’ fail-safe design (spring closed in NC models) ensures enduring power outages and prevents gas buildup in the kiln chambers, ensuring safe operation during power outages.
