Liquid Dose and Dispense Flexibility Improved, Facilitating LEED Certification for Plants

The Challenge
Customers seeking higher efficiency liquid dosing and filling machine designs and LEED certification are rethinking their motion control choices, with an eye for reduced energy consumption, minimized leaking of compressed air and increased production throughput.

The Solution
When combined with fittings, tubing and relevant automation components, Parker's ETH Series electric cylinder — with IP65 washdown option, positive pressure purge port and food grade lubrication — helps customers realize higher efficiency dosing and filling. The Parker solution:

• Provides precise control, dosing and filling pistons through a single fill,
  or pumps through a multiple fill and dose process
• Ensures accurate volumes and optimizes energy efficiency and machine
  flexibility, facilitating LEED certification
• Increases machine efficiency and throughput
• Reduces air consumption and costs
• Improves end user product quality through more accurate fill volumes

ETH Series Electric Cylinder
Closes the gap between pneumatic and hydraulic drives, replacing them with increased production reliability and economy. Offers high shock and vibration resistance, long-term stability, small temperature drift, traction/thrust forces up to 114kN and excellent repeatability.

Servo Drives and Controllers
Deliver maximum power output and performance in minimal package size. Industry-leading power density, smart digital designs and easy integration and startup.

TPD-M Modular Triple-Axis Servo Drives
Flexibility specifically designed for packaging OEMs. Space-saving drive system controls up to three servo motors. Common DC bus power supply and multiple, connected TPD-M drive modules.

Motornet DC Brushless Servo Motor with Integrated Drive
Ideally suited to multi-axis applications where a number of motors are mounted in close proximity on the machine. Allows a decentralized approach to motion control. Ideal for packaging machines, rotary tables, and filling, bottling and capping machines.

Rotary Motors
Exposed-lamination designs provide maximum torque per package size. Cog-free rotary motion for best low speed smoothness. Patented designs offer the greatest winding uniformity and accuracy.

SR Series Stainless Steel Pneumatic Cylinder
Provide quick delivery with industry-leading performance and quality for the shortened design cycles of beverage handling. Many sizes in-stock and available for shipment within 24 hours of order placement.

Polyethylene Tubing
FDA, NSF Standard 51, 61 and ASTM D-1963 compliant. Series EA formulated to resist degradation from mildew, algae, fungi and biofilm in filling and processing applications.

PFA, PTFE and FEP Tubing
For extreme high and low temperature applications. UV resistant by nature. Compatible with virtually any media. Corrosion and chemical resistant; low level of extractables for highly sensitive contaminant applications.

Stainless Steel Fittings
For more aggressive beverage packaging applications. Includes O-ring face seal, 37° flare, flareless bite type and metric bite type tube fittings.

Nickel-plated Brass Fittings
Compact push-to-connect fittings are specially designed for low-pressure circuits where fast assembly, disassembly and reassembly are important. FDA-compliant; chemical-resistant.

Stainless Steel Flow Controls and Function Fittings
Stainless flow controls are used to regulate the speed of a cylinder rod as well as gas flow in environments with high mechanical or chemical constraints. Compact, flexible and reliable function fittings enhance the efficiency and security of your pneumatic installations.

Composite Fittings
Compact and lightweight. Excellent for air, inert gases and vacuum applications found in food and beverage packaging.
