Extruding / Molding / Lifting / Positioning / Material Handling: Achieve Reliable, Low-Maintenance IP67 Rated Actuation Solution with Precise Control In Washdown Environments

Challenge

Customers in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries have stringent requirements for high-performance actuation systems rated for washdown duty service. These systems must be robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and capable of precise control of position and force. The Kyntronics Servo Power Unit (SPU), coupled with an IP67 or greater washdown cylinder, provides an ideal solution for these cases.

Kyntronics Solution

  • The SPU connects to a cylinder that is IP-rated appropriately for the application.
  • The SPU is located away from the washdown area or can be contained in a washdown enclosure.
  • Short hoses or tubing connect the SPU with the cylinder.
  • Electric solution that uses power-on-demand to save energy.
  • Total solution with drive, motor, and power unit.
  • Integration with customer-supplied cylinders.
  • Food-grade oil (optional).

Customer Benefits

  • Reliable washdown solution with minimal maintenance.
  • No metal-to-metal wear, unlike electro-mechanical actuators.
  • Servo control of position and force.
  • SPU is easily located in a washdown enclosure or remote.
