Version 05/2015 | Print only PDF Automation solutions for hygienic process technology Rather central or decentral? Or simply close at hand? Automation in the food and beverage industry is anything but a blanket solution. There is no one best method, because depending on the situation at your plant, different things are important. Fortunately, we have three options for helping you achieve your perfect automation solution: Option 1 is the classic method. Central control cabinets are installed separately from the process technology. Pneumatic hoses and electric cables connect the control cabinet with the automation components in your plant. Option 2 is the completely decentral method. Control heads are integrated directly in the particular fitting. They function as complete automation units and contain everything that is needed for automation. Option 3 is particularly flexible. Compact and versatile pilot valve islands and pneumatic automation units are installed close to the process – directly in hygienic design housings, for example. 1, 2 or 3? You decide where you want to go – we show you the best way to get there.

Decentralized Automation AirLINE Quick Solution AirLINE Quick in a hygienicdesign enclosures Decentralized automation uses intelligent control heads integrated into pneumatic process and control valves for all production processes and utility circuits such as cleaning agents, steam or temperature control. The result is a maximum of flexibility for project planning, installation and maintenance as well as transparency for process monitoring. A minimum of wiring and tubing ensures a maximum of hygiene and great energy efficiency through low compressed-air consumption. Flexible pneumatic valve units...
