Buck Valve (Manual)

Manual Buck Valves play a crucial role in the laundry and dry cleaning industry. They offer reliable and precise flow control where automation is not required. Unlike their pneumatic counterparts, these valves provide direct, manual operation, making them essential when human intervention is preferred. 

Manually operated buck valves ensure operators maintain complete control over the pressing process, enhancing efficiency and safety in daily operations.

Key Features of Buck Valves (Manual)

Actuation: Manual buck valves are operated by a foot pedal. This typically involves pressing down on the pedal to open the valve.

Control: The user has direct control over the valve’s position and flow rate, allowing for precise adjustments based on need.

Complexity: Manual valves are generally simpler in design, have fewer components, and may be easier to maintain and repair.

Applications: These are common when automatic control is not required or human intervention is preferred. They are often used in smaller systems or where manual adjustments are necessary.
