Output rates
of up to 800 fillings a minute: the RCF
robotic filling machine of the “Lieder” brand made
by Robot Food Tech. This machine is distinguished
by its short set up times (left).
A gasification station
delivers nitrogen to the
filled containers, which reduces the residual
oxygen to a safe 0.1% of the original volume
(centre).
The supply
of nitrogen is regulated by, a
pneumatic linear actuator DLP for process
automation applications (below).

benefit from the state of the art in
automation technology,” says the young
entrepreneur. Servopneumatic drives are
better than electric drives for this
application. Electric drives have great
difficulty in meeting the criteria for the
protection class IP65 required in the food
industry.
Worldwide presence
In addition to Festo’s ability to supply
servopneumatic components, there is
another reason why Robot Food Tech has
chosen to work with this supplier. “We
export 80% of the machines we sell. We
therefore need automation technology
suppliers whose components and
systems are available in every corner of
the world in just the same way as our
filling machines for convenience meals
and speciality salads are,” says industry
expert Grüne.
