Festo has introduced a line of pre-configured, assembled and tested compressed air preparation units that not only makes specification and ordering faster and easier, but also ensures clean air in food and beverage production. Right out of the box, the new units meet the Safe Quality Food guidelines of final filtration stage 0.01 micron (µm) and a particulate removal efficiency of 99.999% at the point of food and beverage contact.
Festo pre-configured, assembled, and tested air preparation unit for safe quality air in food and beverage production. For tagout, the rotary on/off valve, top left, is secured against restart with a padlock.
The units also cover most, if not all, requirements of both original equipment manufacturer and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) standards for air flow, connection size and particle class rating. While air preparation units have multiple modules, each assembled unit is easily ordered with a unique part number.
Units include the latest generation modules in price and performance offered by Festo — filter regulator, filter, lubricator, on/off valve, soft-start valve and branching module. Units can be easily tamper proofed and feature lockout/tagout functionality for assured safety and performance. An easy-to-read gauge simplifies pressure monitoring, and a visual indicator signifies when a filter cartridge needs to be changed. The new units are available globally with fast shipping times.
