houses the vacuum pumps as well as the
activated carbon adsorber for process air
preparation. The entire vacuum perform
ance of over 1,000 m³/h can be divided
into variable ratios between the two
process chambers if required. This ensures
a very high throughput for the size of the
chamber and the complexity of the pro-
cess of 10 batches per hour.
Reliable process engineering
This demanding process is kept running
smoothly by a variety of Festo compo-
nents. These include valve terminals type
CPX/MPA with Profibus control. These
valve terminals look after all of the pro-
cess engineering, activate the angle seat
valves and the actuators, ensure the
crates are locked and control the liquid
transport and the vacuum. Thanks to
‘intelligence on the terminal’, the cleaning
plant from Höckh does not require any
additional multi-pin cables. The MS
series service unit ensures correct and
reliable compressed air preparation.
The latest Festo technology also offers a
condition monitoring option. Values such
as maximum, peak and average consump-
tion as well as effective and apparent
power are displayed.
