Robust Cylinders Our full range of cylinders offers a cylinder for any application in the dairy industry be it for draughting gates, parlour gates, scrapers in farms or cheese making.
ISOLineTM R
IVAC Industrial
Smoothline
RA/802000
PRA/862000
PRA/822000
This ISO standard cylinder offers full range bore/ stroke combinations, and large range of standard mountings to meet different application requirements. Low friction level and long life expectancy also help cut cost down to a minimum.
This cylinder is of robust tie-rod construction, ideal for industrial applications. Available in all bore sizes with a wide choice of variants, options, and mountings, it can be adapted to solve the most difficult actuation challenges. Comes with Adaptive Cushioning System.
IVAC (Integrated Valve Actuator Control) incorporates proven valve and flow regulation technologies to reduce energy consumption, weight and installation space. Anodised end covers give additional environmental Protection, and ATEX/IECEx versions are available for hazardous environments.
The anodised barrel and end covers, and option of single rear air connection, give this cylinder its smooth profile. Switches can be directly flush-mounted to maintain its appearance.
Cleanline
IVAC Cleanline
Stainless Steel
Lintra Plus Rodless
This cylinder is hygienically designed according to EN16722 with an IP67 protection class for washdown in packaging and food applications.
The pilot valve module maintains the IP67 protection class of the cleanline variant. Customer installation is greatly simplified, with a single M12 connector for the pilot valves and switches, and single air and exhaust ports.
The most rugged and reliable cylinder for applications in harsh environments and where contact with food requires heavy washdown. It is constructed from AISI303, 304 and 316 and complemented with a range of mountings.
The Lintra Plus rodless range covers all requirements from lighter to heavier duty. Its unique integrated guides are housed in the main extrusion, offers a neat and compact installation. Reliable operation of up to 6000km giving a longer work life.

IVAC cylinder Use of the IVAC cylinders means only one air line is required as a main supply line with a junction at each IVAC unit thus removing many metres of existing air lines and reduced installation time. Further advantage’s are a saving in air consumption as the control valve is located directly at the point of use within the IVAC and a decrease in cylinder reaction time. Ideal for sorting applications.

Valves We provide a broad range of valves for dairy application including automatic milking systems, cluster cleaning, pasteurizing, filling and packaging. The VS plug-and-play valve island is used to control various processes in dairy plants. Its proven interruption-free valve replacement option ensures the functioning of all other valves when one of them is removed. The expandable design offers great flexibility as more solenoid can be added as per your application requirement. We also have valves available suitable for use in the cleaning unit of the milking system. These save labour costs and significantly reduce the risk of “cow to cow� infection. > Reliable performance

Air Preparation In 1927, when Carl Norgren invented the automatic airline lubricator, he effectively began the practice of air preparationdelivering air of the right quality to a pneumatic device to enable that device to run at it’s optimum efficiency for the longest possible time, keeping life costs to a minimum. We have continued developing world class air preparation products ever since. Today, our air preparation products are used globally, and are founded on a best in class reputation based on quality, reliability & robustness.
