The CEME 8623 is a heavy-duty pilot-operated solenoid valve from the CEME Series 86 range, designed for multi-purpose industrial applications requiring reliable, automatic fluid control. With a 3/8 NPT inlet and outlet, 12 mm orifice, a maximum operating pressure of 10 Bar, and compatibility with a wide range of media including water, steam, air, and light oil, the 8623 is one of the most versatile solenoid valves available for dry cleaning machines, industrial washing machines, steam systems, and commercial laundry equipment. Manufactured by CEME S.p.A. in Italy, it is available in multiple voltages and is stocked locally by Unicorp for fast supply and fitment across South Africa.

The CEME 8623 solenoid valve is used across a wide range of professional laundry, dry cleaning, steam, and industrial fluid control applications. As a pilot-operated 2/2 way normally closed valve, it remains shut when de-energised and opens when power is applied, making it ideal for automated water inlet, steam control, drain management, and chemical dosing systems in commercial equipment. NBR seals provide broad chemical compatibility, while the 10 Bar maximum operating pressure and 12 mm orifice deliver high flow capacity suitable for demanding industrial applications. Unicorp stocks and supplies the CEME 8623 as a replacement solenoid valve for dry cleaning machines, industrial washing machines, steam boilers, and pressing equipment throughout South Africa.

Standard supply voltage is 230V 50Hz. The following additional voltages are available on request:

Questions

Answers before you enquire

What does normally closed (NC) mean for a solenoid valve?
A normally closed solenoid valve is closed in its default, unpowered state and opens when electrical current is applied to the coil. This is the standard configuration for most water inlet, steam control, and fluid dosing applications in commercial laundry and dry cleaning equipment, as it provides a safe fail-closed condition if power is lost.
What is the difference between a pilot-operated and a direct-acting solenoid valve?
A direct-acting valve uses the electromagnetic force of the coil alone to open or close the valve, regardless of line pressure. A pilot-operated valve like the CEME 8623 uses the line fluid pressure to assist opening, which allows a smaller coil to control a larger orifice and higher flow rates. Pilot-operated valves require a minimum differential pressure of 0.30 Bar to operate correctly.
Which machines commonly use the CEME 8623 solenoid valve?
The CEME 8623 is widely used as a replacement solenoid valve in dry cleaning machines, industrial washing machines, commercial steam boilers, pressing equipment, and water filtration systems. Its 3/8 NPT connections and multi-media compatibility make it a standard component across many major equipment brands. Contact Unicorp to confirm compatibility with your specific machine model.
What voltage do I need to order?
The correct voltage depends on the electrical specification of your machine’s control system. Most commercial dry cleaning and laundry machines in South Africa operate on 230V 50Hz, which is the standard supply voltage for the CEME 8623. However, some machines use 24V AC or DC control circuits for their solenoid valves. If you are unsure, check the label on your existing solenoid valve or contact Unicorp with your machine model and we will confirm the correct specification.
Can Unicorp supply this valve urgently for a machine breakdown?
Yes. Unicorp maintains local stock of CEME solenoid valves in South Africa to support urgent breakdown situations. Contact us by phone or email with your machine model, valve specification, and required voltage and we will advise on availability and arrange the fastest possible supply to your location.
