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.

Operating costs for pneumatic equipment can be reduced by up to 60% if system operators put into practice the results and analyses of the Compressed Air Energy Efficiency Audit GFAA by Festo. Energy efficiency experts from Festo use an integrated approach to analyse the entire compressed air system, from the compressor to the application, and recommend measures to reduce energy consumption. Climate protection is also included in the service, since the cost and energy savings naturally result in lower CO2 emissions and higher productivity.

"For challenging tasks in thermoforming, ILLIG is your best bet," is a frequent refrain from manufacturers of branded goods. ILLIG Maschinenbau is a pioneer and market leader in the manufacture of machines and tools for producing plastic packaging using thermoforming. Its new thermoforming system RedLine RDF 85 now enables the use of off-system tool systems. This is how the company is setting new standards in flexibility. Also integrated is a stack handling system with electric axes from Festo.  

With the tubing PUN-H-F and the stainless-steel push-in fitting NPQR, manufacturers of food and packaging machines are on the safe side.
