Sealing Solutions for Automation

In many areas of everyday life and in practically all industrial processes, masses are set in motion, e.g. doors or gates, flaps, conveyed goods or machine components, which generates kinetic energies. If these forces are not decelerated in a controlled manner, they may result in personal injury and/or damage to products and equipment. The optimum solution is achieved when moving masses are decelerated in a consistently linear manner across the braking distance. Parker Prädifa assists in this process by providing effective sealing concepts.

The utilization of gas springs in industrial operations makes special demands on the spring’s sealing system particularly in toolmaking applications. Long service life combined with constant force, maximum gas tightness and consistent friction must be ensured throughout. Parker’s sealing materials deliver reliable performance, for instance in the form of rod and piston seals, in millions of gas springs. Parker Prädifa offers the appropriate seal geometry and suitable material for any application and the related requirements.

The purity requirements of diverse sectors such as mechanical parts manufacturing, aerospace technology, medical device engineering, the food industry, electrical and electronics industry or laboratory technology can be met by innovative machines and customized cleaning systems. Reliable removal of dirt and various forms of contamination is the objective to be met by aqueous cleaning agents, environmentally safe fluids or innovative solvents. The cleanliness of the individual components is a key factor of their quality and reliable performance. Tailored to the specific requirements of the various fields of application, Parker provides comprehensive consulting and engineering services to deliver optimal sealing solutions in terms of technology and economy for diverse industrial cleaning systems.

Products can be packaged in countless ways and the diversity of packaging methods keeps growing. The demands made on packaging machines are as varied as the sectors in which they are utilized. In view of the growing diversity of materials and media used in the various sectors such as the food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical industries the demands to be met by the sealing materials and systems in packaging machines keep growing as well. Particularly sealing materials intended for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries have to meet the legal requirements for purity, absence of extractables and leachables, resistance against microbial growth, etc. Sealing systems from Parker Prädifa made of appropriate materials ensure harmlessness to human health in use with packaging machines that come into contact with foodstuffs as well as reliable machine performance and long service life due to suitable seal designs.

Filling systems encompass a wide range of designs, from small systems with automatically to semi-automatically controlled process flow to complex automation systems. They combine metering technology, packaging technology, robotics and optical object recognition, depending on their design. Filling systems differ in terms of countless technical versions and level of automation. Their functions vary as well, extending from sterilization to sealing to post-processing, etc., resulting in a correspondingly wide range of functions and requirements to be met by the sealing systems. As an expert partner, Parker Prädifa delivers appropriate solutions.
