Multivac Relies on Kollmorgen for Pneumatic to Electric Transition
|
An increasing number of companies in the packaging machine industry have chosen electrical servo technology – mainly to replace motion axes previously powered by pneumatic systems. “Servo technology increases controllability and reduces noise emission.
|
|
|
|
These systems also help us to increase the number of production cycles“, Guido Spix, CTO Multivac, recently emphasized during a packaging show. The packaging machine company uses motion control solutions from Kollmorgen to reduce energy consumption, increase the overall machine effectiveness and improve safety of packaging processes.
Being a strategic motion control partner for Multivac, Kollmorgen implemented a compact unit consisting of an AKM® servo motor and a cycloidal gear drive for the lifting axis. Kollmorgen calculated and selected the optimal motor size and gear drive type in close cooperation with Multivac’s engineering development teams.

This webinar will be based on the work of AIOE’s Engineering Solutions Group: One Voice –a uniform approach to the most common, non proprietary sanitary equipment designs that meet the base food safety requirements for food manufacturing.
Attendees will learn about: the "must have" requirements:
- The role of hygienic zones and risk assessment
- The role of variation in wet and dry clean environments
