Festo Clean Design MPA-C valve terminal

The Clean Design valve terminal MPA-C meets the requirements for protection class IP69K and CRC4, the highest corrosion resistance class available in products from Festo. This makes it suitable for both centralised and decentralised installations.

The use of FDA compliant housing and NSF-H1-Fett, complemented by a redundant seal system, allow problem-free cleaning with high-pressure jets or foam and enables valve terminals to be installed in locations with harsh environmental conditions.

The valve terminal allows users and designers to create decentralised installations without a control cabinet in harsh and intensively cleaned environments in the food and beverage industry. It can be installed close to the application, thus saving space.

The fact that no control cabinet is required reduces the need for tubing. This enables quick and simple installation, plus rapid access for servicing or maintenance work. Shorter tubing lengths mean that cycle rates can be increased. If, for example, the tubing length is reduced from 5 to 1 m, the cycle time is halved.

The valve terminal is not only adaptable to a machine design but also offers flexible configuration: whether with an electrical interface on the front or reverse; with multipin, fieldbus or ethernet via the communication interface CTEU/CTEL; with or without manual override; with 1-32 pressure zones; and with a freely configurable working port.
