The Challenge
A global confectionary manufacturer was developing a new approach to handling and weighing fruit. The new machine — requiring more than 120 process valves to be piloted with valve islands installed in an electrical cabinet — needed to be simple to configure and provide reliable operation and easy maintenance. A compact footprint was critical and all exhausts had to be collectible.

The Solution
In combination with relevant fittings and tubing, Parker's Moduflex Valve System and Configurator CD were the solution.

• Easy-to-understand configuration software simplified the design build
• User-friendly, modular design provided maximum flexibility for machine builders
• Easy maintenance through simple man-machine dialogue
• Highly adaptive for late system design changes
• Patented design offered proven reliability and long life
• Moduflex FRL air preparation units also used
