Beschränkten sich Condition Monitoring und Control in Druckluftanlagen bislang auf die Messdatenerfassung und -analyse, lässt sich der Verbrauch jetzt automatisch durch aktives Eingreifen in die Versorgung reduzieren. Dank patentierter Technologie von Festo können Sie so pro Jahr bis zu 3,2 t CO2 und Hunderte Euro Betriebskosten einsparen.

The conditions in many manufacturing areas, such as the splash
zone in food production plants, place a lot of stress on service unit
components. Cleaning agents and water jets attack the surfaces,
screws and pressure gauges. With this stainless steel protection
box, Festo offers a simple and low-cost solution to securely protect
the compressed air preparation components.

The compressed air and filter regulators MS2 are very compact and extremely light, yet have flow rates of up to 350 l/min and are very sturdy. They can be installed directly in the machine for use close to the process and for end-of-arm applications. These strong, cost- efficient and lightweight components are ideal for applications in small parts assembly and in the electronics industry.

The MS-B in a polymer housing offers you attractively priced basic components focused on the most important technical functions of compressed air preparation such as pressure regulation, filter regulation and manual or electric switch-on. And it is fully compatible with the MS series. This allows you to create the best possible mix of low-cost basic functions and any high-end functions you need.

Pre-configured service units MS series for the food and beverage industry

Anyone who wants to improve process reliability through increased machine availability must start at the very beginning – and first analyse the compressed air supply in detail. Particles, water and oil are the natural enemies of prepared

compressed air. They have an adverse effect on the components and cost additional energy.

The MS-B in a robust polymer housing offers you attractively priced
basic components focused on the most important technical functions of
compressed air preparation. And it is fully compatible with the MS series. This allows you to create the best possible mix of low-cost basic functions and any high-end functions you need.

Great care must always be taken when compressed air comes into contact with food, because compressed air is not clean by nature.   On the contrary, solids and particles are present almost everywhere in the form of dust in various concentrations. Water, in the form of natural atmospheric humidity, is released in large quantities when the compressed air cools down. And thus compressed air quality in accordance with the requirements of the respective application provides best possible safety for foods, consumers and food producers.

This white paper includes information on:

- Compressed air preparation and compressed air quality classes

- Filter cascades for typical applications

Particles, water and oils in compressed air reduce the service life and functionality of components and systems. They also impair

productivity and energy efficiency. Proper preparation, on the other hand, significantly increases process and product reliability, and it

increases the availability of your system.

MSE6-C2M constantly monitors compressed air consumption, shuts off the compressed air supply after production has stopped for a certain amount of time and prevents the system pressure from falling below a specific stand-by pressure level.

The MS-B in a polymer housing offers you attractively priced basic components focused on the most important technical functions of compressed air preparation such as pressure regulation, filter regulation and manual or electric switch-on. And it is fully compatible with the MS series. This allows you to create the best possible mix of low-cost basic functions and any high-end functions you need.

Air preparation is the basis for the right compressed air quality at the start of every machine or application. This is what determines the safety and reliability of all pneumatic systems.

All components from the MS series are available individually, can be ordered as a pre-configured unit or as a ready-to-install system with just one part number.
