Bioprocesses are becoming increasingly important for industry, as they represent sustainable alternatives to conventional production processes and enable the manufacture of new products. With BioTech Automation, Festo is presenting an overview of already available components and solutions at Analytica based on selected cultivation processes, which will be demonstrated in three bioreactors: a loop bioreactor, a stainless steel reactor and a benchtop laboratory reactor.

Flexible, robust and offering high performance – the angle seat valve VZXA from Festo controls media flows quickly and reliably up to 230 °C. Its carefully thought-out product design and patented interface enable valve bodies and actuators to be freely combined, with a hot-swap function for quickly exchanging actuator or other spare parts.
