Benefit of the safety valve
The folding box magazine at the cartoner
is raised for maintenance work using two
standard cylinders DNC. The cylinders
are securely equipped with two channels,
one pneumatic and one electric, to
protect the fitter during maintenance.
This can be easily done with the valve
terminal VTSA and ensures that the
requirements of the new Machinery
Directive are met. In addition, the entire
machine is safely exhausted using an
MS6 safety valve in the event of an
emergency stop. This ensures that no
uncontrolled movements take place
during troubleshooting, and also
addresses the requirement to provide
protection against unexpected startup.

Field of activity:
Manufacturing systems for
packaging drugs for the
pharmaceutical industry
Variety of shapes:
packaging for drugs
High flow rate is the decisive factor:
the valve
terminal VTSA’s outstanding performance in the
cartoner.
Benefit of worldwide service
Since Uhlmann generates 85% of its
turnover overseas, a global service
network was an important criterion when
it came to selecting suppliers. Festo’s
worldwide sales and service network
was thus a major point in its favour.
Well before the two companies started
working together, Uhlmann had analysed
which pneumatic components were
needed for the packaging systems in
order to achieve optimum machine
performance. The components used
today range from sensors, cylinders
and valves to accessories such as tubing
and fittings.
