Automation technology for food production

Nowadays, numerous operations in industrial food production are already automated. Yet filling antipasti is still done manually, which is both time-consuming and cost-intensive. Now, a specially developed system from the mechanical engineering company Karb Maschinenbau GmbH, the antipasti multi-filler, is accelerating this process. The system automatically fills peppers, tomatoes and chillies with automation components from Festo.

Discover the components that keep the process running:

Electric cylinder EPCO

Easy and dynamic positioning with the electric drive EPCO. Available in three sizes, with a ball screw drive and perfectly matched motor. Its performance can be further improved with the guide unit as an accessory.

Valve terminal MPA-S with CPX terminal

Incredibly modular and versatile! The CPX interface on the valve terminal MPA is based on the internal bus system of the CPX, and uses this serial communication system for all the solenoid coils and electrical input and output functions.

MS series

Compressed air preparation for every requirement, from a simple standard to specific solutions that must meet the highest standards of quality.

"It was important for us to have a partner like Festo to guide us through the entire process of developing a new machine."

Erhard Karb, Managing Director of Karb Maschinenbau

Simply future-proof.

The antipasti multi-filler from Karb Maschinenbau can fill 20 peppers in one go and up to 14,500 antipasti per hour.
