Cylinders help save space on conveyor line

Compact cylinders offer power and efficiency on a filling line conveyor system.

Conveyors such as this one at Arla Foods use pneum-atics to help save space and optimize efficiency.

On conveyor systems it builds to connect machines in a filling line, FlexLink has installed Festo pneumatic components that function as clamping stopper cylinders along the conveyor path. Utilizing both Festo ADVU compact cylinders and the CPV valve terminal, Flexlink was able to save space on the system without sacrificing power.

“In these conveyor and distributor systems, we use Festo ADVU compact cylinders as rotary and clamping stopper cylinders,” says Peter Nauwerck, general manager of FlexLink Germany. “The compact cylinders are just as powerful as standard cylinders, but they take up only half as much space.”

The FlexLink conveyor system is designed to bring packaging materials to a filling machine, for example, or plastic or glass bottles to a labeling station. Built with non-porous, water-repellent stainless-steel surfaces, conveyors can be cleaned quickly and require no lubrication. The conveyor linkage system connects modules together without welding or laborious mechanical installation.
