Pneumatc valves impress coating systems
supplier
Fara Technology has been so impressed with equipment supplied by Parker Hannifin that it has now standardised on Parker equipment for all its pneumatic and hydraulic control systems.
A world leader in the design and development of electrostatic coating systems, Fara Technology has been so impressed with equipment supplied by Parker Hannifin that it has now standardised on Parker equipment for the construction of all of its pneumatic and hydraulic control systems One of its recent projects was the development of an electrostatic coating system used to apply an extremely thin film of oil to metal strip

Valves gain serial control options
Parker Pneumatic has expanded the Moduflex valve system to include serial bus capability.
Pneumatic valve islands fit food filling machines
The miniaturised Moduflex valve system has been specified for the control of station indexing on the RS12 servo driven rotary filling machine designed and built by Winyard Engineering.
Fara Technology used a range of Parker equipment, including the company's latest Moduflex Valve System and Moduflex60 FRL manifold regulators, to operate the rotary turbine applicators used within the enclosure.
The regulators and valves, controlled by a PLC and housed within a cabinet on the front of the machine, are used to control the applicators.
In addition to providing simple open/close functionality, the pneumatic equipment also regulates the pressure fed to the applicators.
Precise control is necessary to ensure consistency of atomisation and allow the equipment to meet the production quality standards of material demanded by the automotive industries and other critical end users.
Fara Technology has equipment in most major steel and aluminium plants around the world, as well as in a number of food producers.
It provides specialised electrostatic coating systems, including blade applicators, rotary atomisers, circular nozzles and air atomisers.
These systems apply coating weights from as little as 2mg/m2 to more than 5g/m2 at temperatures up to 100C and line speeds up to 2000m/min. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
