PNEUS-CEM40012 is an SMC custom valve island/manifold designed for KHS production lines (Valve Island / Manifold). It integrates multiple solenoid valves with internal air passages on a single base, enabling centralized supply, distribution, and control. This significantly reduces scattered piping and individual wiring, making it ideal for beverage filling, beer, bottled water, and packaging equipment running at high cycle rates.
Note: The market often labels this model “UTC special design / proprietary KHS.” Always verify against the equipment BOM or the nameplate of the old part before ordering to avoid mismatches in ports, station count, or electrical protocol.
Typical Applications & Use Cases
Beverage filling valve groups: Coordinated control of multiple actuators (e.g., filling valves, sorting mechanisms, grippers/lifters).
Rinsing/sterilizing/bottle-rinsing sections: Stable response and long life in cyclic valve operations.
Key Features & Benefits
All-in-one integration: Manifold base + multi-station solenoid valves + end plates/seals — fewer external pipes and leak points.
Efficient maintenance: Modular stations for quick swap and spot checks.
Simplified wiring: Commonly paired with fieldbus interfaces (e.g., EX600 family), enabling fast PLC communication and diagnostics (protocol per actual unit, such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT).
Reliable at high throughput: Suited for stations demanding precise repeatability and fast response.
Installation & Use (Practical Guide)
Incoming inspection: Confirm part number, station count, port orientation/size, coil voltage, communication protocol match the BOM.
Air preparation: Use upstream filter/regulator (FR) to ensure dry, clean compressed air; follow the pressure range on the nameplate/manual.
Electrical wiring: Wire per diagram and polarity. If a fieldbus module is included, set node address & I/O map in the PLC first, then run single-station jog tests.
Trial run: Pulse stations one by one—observe motion, pressure/flow, leaks, and temperature rise; avoid long periods with many stations energized simultaneously.
Safety note: Do not use the valve island as an emergency shut-off device; add a system-level safety circuit/exhaust unit when required.
Selection Checklist (Confirm Before Ordering)
Station count/layout: X stations; any blanks or expansion slots?
Base & end plates: Supply/exhaust passages, port orientation (top/bottom/side), silencers and common exhaust.
Port standards & sizes: Main supply and branch ports (e.g., G, NPT, push-in).
Electrical specs: Coil voltage (e.g., DC24V), cable/connector style.
Environment & mounting: Temperature/humidity, mounting direction, IP rating, space/thermal considerations in cabinet.
Accessories: End plugs, seal kits, markers, brackets, silencers, etc.
BOM Mapping / Replacement (Important)
On KHS equipment BOMs, the valve-island position may correspond to KHS part: 301063955110 (Ventilinsel / valve island).
You may also see CEM40012 derivatives (e.g., CEM40012-A-002 / CEM40012-P-010). Interchangeability must be confirmed item-by-item using the old nameplate/BOM/drawings (station count, ports, wiring/protocol, mounting dimensions). If unsure, send us the nameplate photo and we’ll verify.
e.g., G1/2 main supply, 8 mm push-in branches (per old unit)
Operating environment
e.g., Room temp, clean dry compressed air
Target lead time
e.g., 3–6 weeks, partial shipments acceptable
Ship-to details
City/ZIP/contact/phone
Invoice / currency
e.g., VAT invoice; CNY / EXW
Country of origin is as per shipment documents. If a Certificate of Origin (CO) is required, please state this before ordering.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Local leakage: Check O-rings between valve and base, and end-plate torque.
Spool sticking / slow response: Often due to moisture/particles — inspect air prep and drainage; test station by station.
Coil not energizing / fault codes: Verify voltage/polarity, cables and connectors; for fieldbus, check node address, I/O map, and diagnostics.
Noise / exhaust issues: Inspect silencers for clogging and the common exhaust channel.
FAQ
Q1: What’s the typical lead time? A: Depends on channel and batch; as a custom/special item, ~4–6 weeks is common. Stock subject to inquiry.
Q2: Where is it made? A: Determined by shipment batch. If you need COO printed on the PI and a Certificate of Origin, request it before ordering.
Q3: Can it directly replace KHS 301063955110? A: Often functionally aligned, but verify station count, ports, and electrical protocol against your BOM/old unit before replacement.
Q4: What accessories should be ordered together? A: We recommend seal kits, end plates/plugs, silencers, mounting brackets; for fieldbus versions, also network/power cables.
