Product Overview
System efficiency through
standardisation
The automation company Festo
as a global player has made the
international standardisation of
automation technology, parti-
cularly also in the area of pro-
cess technology and process
engineering its objective. Not
just for reasons of rationalisa-
tion, but for reasons of safety
and commercial considerations,
the increased use of intelligent
pneumatics makes sense. A
universally compatible techni-
cal basis can drastically sim-
plify the use of components
and enable the user to be more
flexible when it comes to future
developments. The findings of
on-site analyses clearly show
that the use of pneumatics can
open up enormous untapped
potential for operators.
A diversity of tasks
The generation, transport, treat-
ment and disposal of greatly
varying types of fluids and bulk
material exhibiting free flow
properties, such as coffee
beans or powder, sand, gravel,
cement, active carbon and many
more. All these manual or auto-
mated fluidic processes form
part of process technology and
process automation.
The composition, consistency,
flow characteristics and hazard
categories of associated sub-
stances, etc. are typical of such
fluidic masses. Different pro-
cess valves are used to control
such fluids, either in on/off or
analogue operation, for in-
stance to control flow volumes,
for dosing, mixing different
streams of substances. Depen-
ding on the area of application,
valves from the smallest diame-
ter (e.g. a 1/4" ball valve) right
up to a “walk-on” diameter (e.g.
a butterfly valve or gate valve of
2,500 mm = DN 2.500, 100")
are used. These pose specific
requirements with regard to
actuator size, construction and
automation.
Costly fulfilment of require-
ments
Irrespective of whether munici-
pal or industrial systems in dif-
ferent industry branches and of
different process technology
criteria are concerned, i.e. from
filtration systems through to
batch processing, owing to the
universally growing require-
ments for productivity and ever
more stringent safety regula-
tions on the part of the authori-
ties, industrial concerns and
municipal system operators
require individually adapted
solutions based on standards.
The standards created in the
course of time are essential if
the competitive edge and the
end user’s independence are to
be ensured. Standardised,
multifunctional components
therefore are the answer here.
Concepts for maximum effi-
ciency – Systematically regu-
lated!
Few branches of industry
where automation is being
introduced are as diverse as
process technology and pro-
cess engineering. The Festo
answer to wide ranging pro-
duction systems and ultra sen-
sitive handling of fluids and
bulk material of different
hazard categories is flexibility
tailored to individual appli-
cations combined with maxi-
mum possible standardisation,
thereby creating maximum
efficiency.

Technology with future
Festo can fulfil a system concept
right as of today and ensure
individual solutions for your
application specific require-
ments with its enormous spec-
trum of possibilities available to
pneumatic users from a single
component through to an adap-
table and expandable system.
With Festo, the user is able to
make full use of the all the
technological benefits of pneu-
matics when it comes to the
regulating, dosing and inter-
rupting of fluid flow. The
modular design of Festo system
components provides the ideal
supposition for the multitude of
different process valves.
Pneumatics characterise an
extremely versatile, sturdy and
technically easy to control tech-
nology and are equal to almost
any task in the process indu-
stry. Easy to install, distribute,
with sturdy valves and drives
consisting of a minimum of
components, low-maintenance
and reliable, overload-proof,
flexible and explosion-proof by
nature – the benefits of com-
pressed air are enormous.
Savings potential inclusive
Intelligent pneumatics and
automation from Festo are
already established in nume-
rous areas. The use of pneuma-
tics is generally considerably
more economical and reliable in
typical areas of application
than using electrical and
hydraulic actuators and also
manually operated process val-
ves. Particularly manually ope-
rated gate valve solutions can
be automated with a minimum
of complexity by means of
pneumatics, with the added
benefit of a considerable
savings potential, be it a new
installation, reconstruction or
retrofitting.
Economically regulated!
Always on the plus side are
those who know how to com-
bine the strength of a system
partner with the benefits of
pneumatics.

technologies are going to be
created. With the use of Festo
pneumatics the system opera-
tor can be sure of remaining at
the leading edge of technology
of tomorrow.

The trend toward integrated
treatment plants
These plants vary from small,
compact types to large installa-
tions. Growing environmental
requirements and high cost
pressure call for new processes
and technologies that require a
high degree of automation to
ensure reliable and economical
operation. The growing trend is
for treatment systems to be in-
corporated into the production
processes in order to reduce
costs and eliminate the existing
boundaries between the pro-
duction machine or system and
supply and disposal engin-
eering.
Industry needs water for the
production and supply of
manufacturing equipment. Vir-
tually all branches of industry
require water to be processed
or purified.
Be it for the production of a car,
a semiconductor chip or for the
production of electricity in a
power station, water treatment
systems are increasingly in
demand. Witness the fact that
• 120.000 l of water are requi-
red to produce 1 car
• 570 l of water are required to
produce 1 chip
• 2.28 l are required to produce
1 kWh of electricity
Process water technology
Water – the precious elixir of
life and valuable commodity
all in one
Compact construction using
pneumatics
Smaller process valves such as
those used with ball valves or
diaphragm valves powered via
pneumatics are often used in
compact systems. The CP tech-
nology from Festo is the ideal
answer for this sector. The
extremely small design of this
range with high flow rates and
an excellent price/performance
ratio very soon dispel any idea
of using individual valves or
valve manifolds. A detenting
manual override on every valve,
compact digital input and out-
put modules, choice of fieldbus
protocols, all to IP65 open up a
considerable savings potential.
In addition to pilot valves or
valve terminals, Festo can sup-
ply ball valves in virtually any
design, plus all the essential
components and systems for
compressed air preparation,
tubing and connection techno-
logy.
Applications:
• Automotive industry
• Electronics
• Food and beverages industry
• Power stations
• Biotechnology
• Pharmaceuticals
• Paper industry
• Chemical industry

Packaged services
Festo offers a comprehensive
package of products, systems
and services. The latest actua-
tor technology for on/off valves
and control valves, turnkey con-
trol cabinets with valve termi-
nals, communication interfaces
(fieldbuses or LAN) and decen-
tralised controllers/I/O’s. All of
these and components for com-
pressed air preparation can be
delivered worldwide in identical
design and quality.
Festo provides support for ope-
rators, planners and system
designers alike with technical
advice, concept design, docu-
mentation for requests to ten-
der, software tools and the con-
figuration of compressed air
equipment. Also available on
request are on-site service and
maintenance contracts.
Applications:
• Sewage treatment plants
• Pump stations
• Rainwater basins
• Biowaste treatment
• Sludge treatment
• Irrigation
To treat waste water optimally
and also economically is a
challenge for industry and
municipal authorities alike.
Here, technically and economi-
cally applicable solutions
using pneumatics are the
answer.
Waste water treatment can be
divided into two large sub-
areas:
• Municipal waste water and
water plants work with rather
large valves preferring the
use of pneumatic linear
actuators (diameters of
200 mm to 2.500 mm, DN
200 to DN 2,500) including
canalisation, pump stations,
rainwater basins and the
• Industrial market with wide-
ranging wastewater treat-
ment and in part extremely
costly water treatment, where
the use of process valves
with diameters in excess of
400 mm (DN 400) is fairly
rare, pneumatic quarter turn
actuators being the preferred
choice here.
Reliable and safe solutions
In both sectors pneumatic drive
and automation technology
offer considerable technical and
financial advantages. When you
also take into consideration the
requirements for explosion-
proof products for example in
digestion tanks or rainwater
basins, pneumatics are a signifi-
cant factor when equipping
waste water treatment plants.
The advantage of pneumatics is
sturdiness, reliability and the
simple concept of pneumatic
drive technology in what are to
some extent extremely challen-
ging environmental conditions
(waste water, flooding, heat,
cold ....). Further aspects which

alike with technical advice, con-
cept design, documentation for
requests to tender, software
tools and the configuration of
compressed air equipment.
Also available on request are
on-site service and maintenan-
ce contracts.
Applications:
• Water works
• Desalination plants
• Elevated tanks
• Pump stations
Irrespective of whether it is
spring water or salt water – a
number of treatment steps are
nevertheless required in order
for untreated water to become
drinkable. The treatment of
drinking water takes place in
filtration installation ranging
from simple sand filters
through to membrane
filtrations.
Desalination of drinking water
Reverse osmosisor evaporation
systems are used in the case of
the desalination of salt water or
brackish water. Installations of
this type generally consist of a
large number of individual filter
elements including the neces-
sary raw water treatment, disin-
fection and storage of drinking
water as well as its distribution
to the consumer. Additional fac-
tors to be taken into considera-
tion in the supply chain are ele-
vated tanks and pump stations.
The operation of these systems
and cleaning of filters (reversi-
ble flow filters) is generally
effected by means of a large
number of process valves,
usually in the form of butterfly
valves. Pneumatics in the form
of drives and automation tech-
nology therefore play a con-
siderable financial/economic
role.
Reliable and cost effective
complete solutions
Together with selected process
valve partners, Festo offers
complete solutions, which
include the appropriate actua-
tor technology, control cabinets
with valve terminals and the
required compressed air equip-
ment. The major factor for cost
reduction is on the part of con-
trol technology, since pneuma-
tic actuators require few inputs
and outputs and digital and
analogue process data can be
processed directly on the spot
via valve terminals. The high
operational reliability of a
pneumatic system represents
another important advantage.
Drinking water technology

ensure the supply of clean
drinking water.

Problem-free adaptation to
growing requirements
Virtually no other segment of
the wide-ranging process indu-
stry entails such a diversity of
end products as the food indu-
stry. Any food, be it dairy pro-
duce, meat products, bakery
products, juices, beer or wine
are products on a worldwide
scale and pose their own
requirements with regard to
handling and the production of
the respective end products.
The highly dynamic food indu-
stry market therefore requires
manufacturers of systems and
machinery to display a high
degree of flexibility with regard
to modularity, reducing costs
and time whilst adhering to
hygiene regulations and strin-
gent standards.
The ideal mix – branch-specific
components and standard
pneumatics
Festo can offer a winning solu-
tion to meet all of these require-
ments. Branch-specific compo-
nents both for closed and open
systems, coupled with the com-
prehensive range of standard
pneumatics offer the user
everything from a single source.
Interdisciplinary competence
and technological leadership
make Festo the ideal partner
both for system builders and
food industry producers – with
prompt, worldwide service,
a broad spectrum of planning
tools and comprehensive advice
on site by specialist staff.
Areas of application
• Water treatment
• Dosing, mixing
• Cleaning, transport of
cleaning chemicals
• Filling
• Sorting and packaging
• Waste water disposal
In the food industry both open
and closed production systems
can be found throughout the
entire production chain and
pneumatic products and soluti-
ons form an integral compo-
nent part of these and fulfil a
multitude of important func-
tions.
In closed systems, pneumatics
assume the control of various
flows of media such as cleaning
agents, industrial water, pro-
duct flow, etc. This is where
pneumatic solutions excel with
their reliability, flexibility and
effective performance.
In the case of open systems for
the further processing of food,
pneumatics are used for nume-
rous functions such as the
moving and positioning of
machine components or ejec-
tion, separating, cutting, sor-
ting, etc of the food products in
question. Corrosion resistant,
easy to clean pneumatic solu-
tions fully meet these require-
ments.
Food industry
Flexible and modular solutions
are imperative for a dynamic
market such as the food indu-
stry.

Power station processes
Round-the-clock operation such
as in power stations requires
high quality components which
have to ensure the safe and
reliable control of process val-
ves in operation, often also in
high temperatures. The enor-
mous number of process valves
used and the various circuits
require a clearly configured and
logical automation structure.
These requirements therefore
set the scene for the ideal solu-
tion – customised pneumatic
solutions from Festo. Irrespec-
tive of whether these are for
desulphurisation, ash removal
or carbonisation systems, a
multitude of valve terminal
types, controllers and service
units are available to create
turnkey control cabinet solu-
tions tailor-made for each appli-
cation. Additional components
in the control chain such as
pneumatic actuators, sensor
boxes or Namur valves com-
plete the product range.
Natural gas – the fuel of the
future
When it comes to environ-
mentally friendly energy, for
instance in the area of motor
vehicles, one clear winner emer-
ges – natural gas. Cars operated
by natural gas offer an interest-
ing alternative to petrol, since
this technology is now fully
developed and the network of
refuelling stations is continually
expanding. The use of pneuma-
tic actuators on high-pressure
valves is already standard in
natural gas refuelling stations
today. The sturdy, maintenance-
free and explosion-proof design
of pneumatic actuators are con-
vincing factors which have led
to the preferred use of these
systems. A further advantage
when using pneumatic compo-
nents in natural gas refuelling
stations is the fact that com-
pressed natural gas in itself can
be used as a drive medium.
Heating and air conditioning
technology
Another area of application for
pneumatic components is the
automation of heating and air
conditioning systems. The
requirement for automated pro-
cess valves is considerable,
irrespective of whether it is for
cooling or ventilation systems.
Also special designs are often
required for on/of or control
functions, which require cor-
responding actuator flexibility.
Here again, the broad spectrum
of products and special designs
from Festo offer a suitable,
reliable solution.
In times of high environmental
pollution and limited resour-
ces, alternative energies are
becoming increasingly more
important.
Nowadays, entire installations
and plants are equipped with
the latest automation technolo-
gy both with regard to produc-
tion and supply, whereby parti-
cular importance is attached to
high standards of safety with
regard to operational safety
and reliability during conti-
nuous operation.
Energy technology
Process safety, a must for
clean energy production and
supply – today and in future

Diversity with surprisingly
flexible technology
A complete product range con-
sisting of branch-specific pro-
ducts and standard pneumatics
is the competent answer from
Festo to these requirements,
be it
• Linear or quarter turn actua-
tors (scotch-yoke and rack-
and-pinion actuator),
• Namur valve or valve
terminal,
• Fieldbus or conventional
actuation,
• Standard or hazardous areas,
• On/off or control valve.
Thanks to strict compliance
with all standards in force and
the high standard of quality
and flexibility of pneumatics,
the possibilities for the applica-
tion and combination of all
these components are virtually
limitless. With these, Festo
offers both users and system
builders in the bulk materials
industry the possibility of sour-
cing the entire automation
technology from a single sup-
plier, allied with worldwide ser-
vice and export advice.
Areas of application
• Metering units, mixers, dryers
• Filling systems
• Pneumatic and mechanical
bulk material transport
• Conveyor systems
• Silos (filling, discharging)
Powder, granulates, flour –
dusty, dirty, hazardous envi-
ronments such as occur during
the transport and storage of
bulk material are the predesti-
ned area of application for
sturdy pneumatics.
Wherever particle systems
(bulk material type sub-
stances), such as in processes
are handled, the behaviour of
motion or flow characteristics
of these substances are of
major significance when it
comes to their transport and
storage. Furthermore, the cur-
rent state of solidification is
another decisive factor apart
from the composition of the
bulk material. Bulk material in
fluidic form (e.g. in a fluidised
bed) therefore behaves like a
fluid and in a compacted state
(e.g. in brick or tablet form) like
a solid body. The storage or
transport of bulk materials
generally involves states bet-
ween these two extremes. In
this case we are dealing with
slightly compressed bulk mate-
rials, which exhibit different

The behaviour of every type of
bulk material is different. This
is why solutions for the bulk
material industry require a
great deal of know-how as well
as a multifaceted product
range.
mechanical characteristics with
regard to their storage and
transport. The bulk materials
industry therefore involves an
enormous variety of standard
and application-specific pro-
cess valves. Butterfly valves,
gate valves, shut-off valves and
penstocks with different hou-
sings and sealing materials and
diameters therefore all have
exacting requirements with
regard to the flexibility and
reliability of the automation
technology to be used.

In the starring role – valve
terminals
What is more, valve terminals
also play a major role through-
out the entire process of paper
production. These ensure the
reliable communication and
open and closed-loop control
of process valves through the
entire production process on in
the form of intelligent, fieldbus
networked participants in the
control chain.
Eco friendly production of an
eco friendly product
Paper is an ecologically compa-
tible product, for whose pro-
duction water is the most im-
portant medium. The use of
environmentally friendly tech-
nologies and energy for the
production of paper is therefore
becoming increasingly impor-
tant. Here again, pneumatics
take the centre stage since
compressed air, being an
odourless, colourless and
natural energy, represents an
extremely eco friendly drive
medium.
Areas of application
• Raw material handling
• Stock preparation and hydra-
pulping
• Draining off water and drying
• Sorting
• Cleaning systems
• Bleaching and washing
processes
• Filtration systems
Paper is an indispensable pro-
duct of our culture both in
terms of economic wealth and
consumer society. Without pro-
tective packaging made of
paper, cartons and cardboard,
goods would perish and there-
fore in many cases be beyond
the means of the average citi-
zen. In the sphere of hygiene,
paper has therefore become
the norm.
The production of paper is
synonymous with complex pro-
cesses and production under
continuous load and in part in
aggressive conditions. Water,
sludge, fibrous material, waste
paper and pollutants of various
consistencies pass through the
production stations and need
to be separated out, sorted or
filtered. Here pneumatics offer
the optimum solution in the
form of actuators for gate and
butterfly valves. These fulfil all
the requirements with regard to
variable speed, smooth sur-
faces, sturdy and maintenance-
free design, corrosion resi-
stance, continuous load and
overload protection, etc.
Paper industry
It is impossible to imagine life
today without paper. Even in
this age of electronic media, it
is still the most important
means of communication.
2524
Safety – a crucial aspect
Automation systems that per-
mit a greater transparency of
systems and processes are
therefore required to fulfil
these conditions and to facili-
tate a high degree of automa-
tion and meet all the require-
ments regarding explosion pro-
tection. The straightforward
answer for requirements such
as these is pneumatics. The
flexibility and reliability of
advanced pneumatic auto-
mation solutions and the inhe-
rent explosion protection of
pneumatic actuators are con-
vincing arguments in favour of
pneumatics. This is why this
technology is already used as
standard in the chemical and
petrochemical industry. The
safety setting of process valves
frequently required in this
branch of industry, for instance
in the event of power failure,
can be easily and economically
realised through the use of
single-acting actuators.
Gas replaces compressed air
What is more, only pneumatics
offer the possibility of utilizing
some of the in part existing or
transported gases as a drive
medium for pneumatic compo-
nents. This characteristic is of
particular economic advantage,
since these gases already occur
in a compressed state and the
generation of compressed air
can therefore be drastically
reduced or even completely
dispensed with.
System partnership for deman-
ding requirements
This is why system planners,
builders and transnational che-
mical concerns require a relia-
ble partner for pneumatics –
with global presence, high pro-
duct quality, first-class service
and innovative technology.
Festo meets all of these criteria
spot on and with a complete
range of pneumatic system
solutions is therefore the ideal
partner for the chemical and
petrochemical industry.
These days more than ever, the
planning of systems and
installations in the chemical
and petrochemical industry is
governed by the high demands
with regard to product safety,
product quality and price com-
petition. Owing to the growing
trend towards globalisation,
the long term success of
system planners and builders
in this market segment can
only be ensured if these crite-
ria are met.
The safety factor in particular
needs to be taken into conside-
ration during system planning
in order to ensure the protec-
tion of people and the environ-
ment. In addition to this, an
adequate degree of flexibility
needs to be incorporated when
planning systems in order to
ensure scope for future expan-
sion or modernisation.
Chemical and petrochemical
industry
Today, life without chemical
and petrochemical products is
virtually unthinkable. All the
more important then is maxi-
mum safety and reliability in
the production of these.

Basic units
What basic units are possible in
an installation?
• The direct actuation of an
actuator via a solenoid valve
• The assembly of a valve
manifold for the actuation
of actuator modules
• The assembly of valve
terminals for the actuation
of actuator modules
• The integration of a wide
range of different bus
systems
• The control of individual
installations
• The realisation of safety
systems, which will function
even in the event of power
failure
Safety – four-by- four
Harmonised, modular compo-
nents from a single source
ensure the safety of process
technology applications.
Moreover, appropriately instal-
led pneumatics also ensure
reliable operation in the event
of power failure. Central or
local reservoirs and valve inter-
connection adapted to indivi-
dual applications ensure that
a valve is switched to a safe
position.
Control chain
A smoothly functioning system
is not just made up of an actua-
tor, process valve and method
of actuation. A complex network
of valves, compressed air prepa-
ration components and connec-
tors, etc. need to be taken into
account when installing a
system. Very few suppliers sup-
ply all the necessary compo-
nents from a single source.
However, maximum reliability is
achieved only through a control
chain procured from a single
supplier, because only in this
way can a supplier be sure that,
from compressed air prepa-
ration and actuators through to
valve terminals, all functions are
seamlessly interacting and that
subsequent after sales forms an
integral part of the system. Opti-
mised interfaces facilitate the
system concept and its reali-
sation.
Systematically safer and every-
thing from a single source
From a component to a pneu-
matic system, consisting of
actuators, sensors, valves,
connection technology and
compressed air preparation –
Festo offers products, special
and complete solutions for
branches of process and pro-
cessing technology.

Compressors
Compressors configured in
excess of requirements not only
considerably increase operating
costs, but drastically reduce
their service life and fail to
achieve optimum system ope-
ration. This is why compressors
should always be specifically
configured for an individual
application.
To this end, Festo offers the
software tool AirCon for the
configuration of compressed air
equipment in the process indu-
stry. AirCon calculates the size
of a compressor according to
the actuators planned and their
actual displacement per time
unit. AirCon can also configure,

Compressed air quality
Particularly for financial rea-
sons, compressed air should
only ever be prepared to the
degree necessary for a parti-
cular application. Preparation
should be such as to eliminate
malfunction and/or damage to
the piping system or downstre-
am consuming devices. Here,
Festo offers a complete range
of products from service units
and tubing through to connec-
tors in order to ensure optimum
compressed air preparation
and reliable supply to the con-
suming devices.
Optimum compressed air –
from compressor to drive
Compressed air production and
preparation also are essential
factors for the continuous and
trouble-free operation of pro-
cess engineering systems.
Ensuring that everything is
functioning in this respect is
another important prerequisite
for economy of operation.
