Pneumatic Footvalves

Pneumatic Foot Valves (Bottom Discharge Valves)

Pneumatic foot valves are high-quality bottom discharge valves for tank containers and tank trucks, designed for safe, efficient, and controlled operation of loading and unloading processes. These foot valves are pneumatically actuated, allowing remote operation or control via a control system.

At Guard Europe BV, we supply robust pneumatic foot valves developed for intensive use in ADR transport, the chemical industry, and industrial tank applications. They ensure maximum safety when handling liquids and aggressive media.

The pneumatic actuation enables fast response and reliable operation, which is essential in automated or centrally controlled systems. In combination with a secondary shut-off device, the foot valve forms a safe double-blocking system for additional protection.

Available versions:

DN80 (3 inch) and DN100 (4 inch)
Various outlet positions (30°, 45°, 90°, 180°)
Stainless steel versions and coated or lined variants
Suitable for chemical and ADR applications (EN 14432)
