DFPD is the new benchmark for quarter turn actuators. It can be used as an individual actuator or as part of a complete automated process valve system from Festo. With a torque range from 10 to 480 Nm, a rotation angle up to 180° and corrosion-resistant versions, the single- or double-acting DFPD is suitable for ball valves, butterfly valves or air dampers in the chemical, pharmaceutical and beverage industries, as well as for water treatment.

DFPD-HD is the latest addition to the quarter turn actuator range DFPD. With torque up to 32,000 Nm, the Scotch yoke actuator is ideal for on/off and closed-loop control of ball valves, air dampers and butterfly valves in power plants, the chemical industry and in water treatment applications. It is the perfect choice whenever safe, reliable solutions are required.

Pablo Ruiz, Product Manager for Process Automation at Festo, presents the quarter turn actuator DFPD: an extremely modular and productive all-rounder!

Automation for the requirements

in the process industry

Hard-wearing, robust and powerful: LFR-…-EX4 is ideal for use in corrosive outdoor environments, for example in the chemical industry. The new filter regulator is initially available in the sizes ¼" and ½" with G or NPT thread – as an individual component or in combination with process valve units.

Stainless steel ball valves are used wherever different media need to be controlled – in process automation as well as factory automation. With VZBE, VZBF and VZBD, Festo has rounded off the ball valve portfolio to help you find the right ball valve for a wide range of applications.

Our drive solutions for controlling dampers for all industrial sectors in which processes are operated with gas, oil, coal or biomass, and the air supply must be extremely precisely and reliably controlled.

Butterfly valves the way you want them to be: highly functional,

sturdy, wear resistant, reliable and non-corroding. Making our

solutions for you even more impressive. Together with Festo's

top-quality drives, the result is excellent shut-off solutions for all

industrial applications with an extremely wide range of media.

With this issue of Highlights 2019, you are holding a kind of compass

in your hand. It will show you where the path with Festo might take

you this year.

You will see the first results in our core product range. Numerous new

components like the mini slide DGST or the compact cylinder ADN-S

are useful additions to the portfolio.

A central theme for us is connectivity at all possible levels:

mechanical, electrical and software.

In tire production, every second and every kilowatt counts. Discover how you can become faster and more efficient in all areas with solutions from Festo, including through clever retrofitting.

A release list for the drive train area has been created in cooperation with BMW.

The releases apply to the plants in Munich, Dingolfing, Regensburg, Leipzig (Germany), Araquari (Brazil), Oxford (Great Britain),

Spartanburg (United States), Rosslyn (South Africa), Shenyang (China) und San Luis Potosi (Mexico).

Safety equipment in process plants aims to reduce the hazards presented by a plant for people, the environment and property to the lowest possible, acceptable level. Depending on the potential hazards, plants are assigned a Safety Integrity Level (SIL1 to SIL4). SIL1 represents the lowest risk and SIL4 the highest acceptable risk with catastrophic consequences.
