Clean Profile Design Wash Down Pneumatic Cylinder Offers Ideal Solution For Whey Press

The Challenge
An industry-leading, early adopter of technology combines over 100 years of experience with craftsmanship and new technology to produce cheese whey press machines that offer customized turnkey solutions. This manufacturer needed its machine's life to meet the market demands for price and reliability.

The Solution
Parker provided the solution in the form of a clean bodied design, wash down ready pneumatic cylinder; the P1D-C Series. The cylinder not only has a clean design following the guidance from EHEDG (no negative geometry on the body), but also included a modified piston rod bearing for increased side load capacity.

• Ease of support with global part availability and resources
• EHEDG cylinder design means reduced sanitation expenses
• Heavy duty piston bearing increased the machine life and robustness
• Wash down ready solution eliminates disassembly for CIP capabilities

P1D-C Series Clean ISO Pneumatic Cylinder
The innovative P1D-C Series Cylinder is a future-proof generation of ISO/VDMA cylinders. These clean cylinders are double-acting, with a new design of air cushioning and specially designed for the Food Industry. The P1D-C complies with the current ISO 6431, ISO 15552, VDMA 24 562 and AFNOR installation dimension standards.
