International directives and standards such as the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC or EN ISO 14159 ensure safety in the production of foodstuffs. Festo develops automation components for use in hygienically demanding and cleaning-intensive environments so that system manufacturers and food producers can meet these requirements as easily as possible .

The portfolio includes components and solutions from valve terminals to electric and pneumatic drives. All components are consistently implemented in Clean Design and are protected by durable hoses and Glands connected.

The Clean Design valve terminal MPA-C complies with IP69K and KBK4, the highest corrosion resistance class at the manufacturer. Supplemented by a redundant sealing system, cleaning with high pressure, cleaning foams and placing the valve terminal under harsh environmental conditions are no problem. FDA-compliant materials and NSF-H1 grease are a matter of course.

The ESBF Electric Clean Look Cylinder is ideal for use in the food and beverage industry thanks to its optional features such as IP65 protection, enhanced corrosion protection and FDA approved grease. The stainless steel round cylinder CRDSNU contributes to the avoidance of infection. Thanks to its extremely smooth surface, it is easy to clean. The self-adjusting end position damping system (PPS) does not require any dirt-prone adjusting screws.

Clutches and brakes Use in food technology

The manufacturer also offers a seal kit for many different requirements. For example, the dry-running seal ensures the reliable operation of the drive, even if the lifetime lubrication has been washed out by intensive cleaning.

Because even the smallest component can often have a major impact, the stainless steel NPCK fitting also meets all clean design requirements. The special design of the union nut prevents dirt as well as the accumulation of microorganisms or other impurities. All this can be combined with the extensive hose range.
