1. Raw materials processing
The right choice of process valves is key when handling raw ingredients for food. Process automation from Festo offers a complete range of process valves and innovative products such as the pinch valve VZQA, with versions available for use in the food industry (FDA, Regulation EC No 1935/2004).
2. Food and compressed air quality
Great care has to be taken whenever compressed air comes into contact with food. This is because compressed air is not clean by nature. Application-specific compressed air preparation ensures the highest possible level of safety for food, consumers and producers.
3. Loading and unloading stations (handling baking trays)
Electric automation from Festo offers you a constantly growing portfolio of pneumatic alternatives for delivering and stacking or removing your baking trays. This increases the service life of your baking trays, thus reducing the costs for replacements – all without compressed air preparation.
4. Food safety made easy
Food production is a matter of trust and food safety is essential to a brand. Anything that ends up on a table must be produced hygienically. That requires a smart system design and food-safe components that support the production process – simply, efficiently and reliably. Festo offers the right automation solutions as well as the necessary industry expertise for the production of safe food.
5. Packaging
Safe and efficient packaging is a must. Our portfolio of electric and pneumatic technology will help you to find the best made-to-measure customised solution for your application.
