Global technology and software company, Emerson, has launched its new Aventics Series XV pneumatic valves, designed to be a flexible and cost-effective valve platform.

Featuring universal threads and support for global availability, the Series XV valves are ideal for machine builders and end users worldwide. They provide higher flow rates in a compact valve package, enabling more efficient and flexible pneumatic system performance for industries such as food and packaging.

Emerson director of product marketing, Wolf Gerecke, said that manufacturers need high-performance technology that gives them the agility and flexibility to stay ahead of rapidly changing market demands, in all industries.

“The new Aventics Series XV pneumatic valves deliver that performance with optimised flow, a wide range of valves and an extensive portfolio of accessories,” said Gerecke.

The Series XV range includes the XV03, which provides flow volumes up to 350 litres per minute in normal conditions (NL/min), and the XV05, scheduled for release in October and providing up to 880 NL/min.

Using proven Aventics core technology, the Series XV valves incorporate metal threads, parallel wiring, aluminium base plates and compact dimensions to make it easier to integrate into production system designs. They use consistent interfaces and have wide connectivity from single wiring over parallel connections such as D-SUB connectors.

Series XV valves are also easy to commission, with the Aventics online configurator supporting system layout and providing useful information, while easy-to-understand system documentation in the design phase helps speed up machine development.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
