Reliably tight packaging

With food packaging, you need an application that can handle materials of different quality and thickness, while making sure the tension is right for every material. If not, the goods might be damaged or the packaging may not be fully sealed. The utmost care must be taken when feeding in the material—even tiny inaccuracies can lead to loss of quality in production.
The solution is a dancer control system that integrates all the functions in a decentralized manner on the valve manifold MPA. This includes our terminal CPX, which you can use to easily incorporate pneumatic and electric control chains into any automation design. Clean work is ensured by our easy to clean stainless steel round air cylinder CRDSNU.
