Partner to the food

and beverage industry

Modular sealing system

Seals and lubricants that comply

with FDA regulations should be

used for system components that

come into contact with food. Seal

types for normal cleaning or for

intensive foam cleaning are also

available. Unlubricated seals

ensure reliable functioning even

for machine components whose

lubricating grease is washed out

by frequent cleaning.

Your objective: hygienically safe and efficient automation

Our solution: partner throughout the entire production process

Food safety made easy

Industrial food production must

meet the highest standards of

hygiene while also being produc-

tive. Do the components deliver

what the manufacturer prom-

ised? Particularly in the food

zone and splash zone, which

have aseptic requirements in

some cases, this becomes

apparent very quickly. As an

experienced partner in the field

of automation technology, Festo

has the best possible compe-

tence and a thorough under-

standing of all the processes

along the value added chains

of system manufacturers and

food producers.

We offer you a complete

portfolio of products, systems

and selected services for

process automation and factory

automation.

Standards and directives ensure

that food can be enjoyed with

confidence. Their implementa-

tion in the production process

reduces risks for the manufac-

turer and the consumer from

the outset.

Festo can help you to optimally

implement food safety with

hygienic products and solutions

for protecting the consumer

and the manufacturer’s brand.

On the right are two innovative

features for safe and efficient

production.

Self-adjusting end-position

cushioning system PPS

Ingenious, this self-adjusting

pneumatic cushioning PPS:

longitudinal slots allow the air to

escape, permitting dynamic and

gentle movement into the end

position, even under changing

loads. In addition, PPS requires

no dirt-prone adjusting screw,

so sources of infection are

avoided.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency in automation

demands a sophisticated con-

cept encompassing four areas:

• Intelligent sizing

• Energy-efficient products

and solutions

• Services

• Training and consulting

Festo’s perfectly coordinated

concept takes into account all

the essential points of the value

added chain of our customers,

from the initial design consid -

erations and energy-efficient

engineering systems up to

the after-sales process.

Safety@Festo

Reduce risk, think preventively:

with safety-related automation

technology from Festo, you can

implement safety measures in

compliance with the EC Machin-

ery Directive. The EC Machinery

Directive specifies that a risk

analysis and assessment for

machines be carried out. These

are then used as a basis for

deriving and defining safety

objectives. For example, a colli-

sion or an uncontrolled restart

after an emergency stop can be

reliably prevented and the risk

of liability minimised.

Extensive know-how: use your

production potential to the full

by taking advantage of our

additional services.

Added value: everything from a single source

100% machine availability: Total

Productive Maintenance (TPM)

The highest possible production

reliability is not achieved by

mere chance: Total Productive

Maintenance (TPM) provides the

indicators so that you are always

one step ahead.

The timely processing of dough,

vegetables, meat or milk is a

must. Otherwise there is a risk

of production stoppages and

even a risk of losing the raw

materials to be processed. With

Total Productive Maintenance,

you focus on ensuring reliability

from the start, supported all the

way by appropriate products

from Festo. With Total Productive

Maintenance, you avoid risks

and dissatisfied customers.

Angle seat valve VZXF

The robust universal valve, perfect for all tasks

involving the control of media flows, whether

slightly contaminated or highly viscous.

Directly actuated solenoid valve VZWD

Excellent for high-pressure and dosing

applications with low flow rates, because there

are no control bores: VZWD operates without

differential pressure up to 90 bar, even in closed

media circuits!

Indirectly controlled solenoid valve VZWM

Economical and ideally suited to controlling

media. VZWM operates with a differential

pressure of 0.5 to 10 bar.

Regulated linear drive DFPI

With integrated displacement encoder, valve

manifold, positioner and an extremely robust

connection. Protection in IP65, IP67 and IP69k

and high corrosion resistance due to the robust

Quarter turn actuator DFPB

Single-acting or double-acting? Right or left

rotation? The quarter turn actuator DFPB can

do both. For maximum economy and optimal

adaptation to the process valve.

Proportional media valve VZQA

Quick to install. Easy to maintain. And a long

service life even with abrasive media: as a

2/2-way valve, VZQA controls media flows

of any type, without a drive and without a risk

of clogging.

Straightforward processes,

quick and reliable information,

in-depth project understanding:

Festo has long been a knowl-

edgeable and reliable partner for

automation in the food industry.

For mixing in process automa-

tion, portioning in the food zone

or splash zone and for packaging

in the non-food zone.

Our know-how is also reflected

in our suitable and economical

product range. The Clean and

Hygienic Design is a particularly

tasteful range as it is easy to

clean and corrosion-resistant in

every desired performance class.

Knowledge makes you more productive:

training and consulting

Especially in the food and pack-

aging industry, employees must

continually adapt the existing

processes so they are state of

the art. To be on the safe side,

you must be completely familiar

with the latest developments.

Company-specific training

courses from Festo Training

and Consulting ensure your

employees are ready for produc-

tion and service. This alternative

to attending a seminar is based

on the particular training

requirements of the company.
