Automation components in primary aluminium plants are continuously exposed to extreme heat, ultra-fine alumina dust and strong magnetic fields. This means that the requirements for crust breakers, feeder cylinders as well as pilot valves are very high. They need to be able to withstand these aggressive ambient conditions.

An ideal combination that is much more compact than before: the automation system CPX-E and the valve terminal VTUG together in a control cabinet. This is a complete solution that is easy to install and keeps tubing installation to a minimum.

With the PA-Toolkit from Festo, implementing the automation logic of process engineering units and modules is really intuitive. You can also use the library for CODESYS to program applications without the need for more in-depth programming expertise. This is ideal for automating modular systems according to the MTP standard, which requires a separate controller for each system module.

In order to boost productivity, the mining industry needs to continuously improve the systems for extracting and refining minerals. This requires cutting-edge modular solutions. The durable automation components
from Festo have proven themselves in operation and are designed for the extreme requirements of the mining industry. Maximum plant availability
and safety for people and the environment are also paramount.
