For machine builders and operators, handling bulk materials can often be full of surprises. This isn’t the case at Burgener AG. The Swiss company created a complex dosing and packaging line for automatically filling pharmaceutical additives. Automation technology from Festo, such as hygienic design cylinders, pneumatic axes, valve terminals, service units and sensors, make for a straightforward system.

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, cleanliness is of the utmostimportance. Production equipment can only be reused if it is cleaned. A new system from ROTAN GmbH shows how this can be done reliably. The Festo solution comprising valve terminals and stainless steel components ensures operational reliability and a long service life.

For many years now, the products of Bayer Division Crop Science have been contributing to good yields and bigger harvests in more than 120 countries around the world; they are thus helping to ensure that world populations receive adequate supplies of high quality foods.

The R&D process for a new crop protection product takes 10 to 15 years. To enable fast and individual production, Bayer created a new multi-purpose system in 2002 which places huge demands on safety and reliability.
