09-0172 – Continental Girbau Double Festo Blowing Valve Assembly

The 09-0172 is a high-performance pneumatic valve assembly manufactured by Festo for Continental Girbau flatwork folders. This unit typically functions as a double blowing valve, controlling the precise air blasts required for primary or cross-fold operations. The assembly is engineered to provide rapid switching times and high flow rates, ensuring sharp, consistent folds on linen even at high processing speeds.

Designed as a direct OEM replacement, this component integrates seamlessly with the folder's pneumatic circuit and PLC outputs. It is critical for maintaining the synchronization of the folding arm or air bar, preventing fold faults and material jams.

Maintenance Tip: Check the exhaust ports on the valve body for blockage or oil buildup, which can slow down valve response time and affect fold accuracy.
