AIR MOTORS: integration within capping machines in the food industry

Also in the Food Industry, Air Motors are excellent solutions, exploiting the use of compressed air, that can be used as integrable components on machinery or to hand tools, and can be therefore effective in numerous applications.

Their use in the Food Sector is, in fact, really heterogeneous, being incorporated into machinery to stir substances or liquids, to mix, to drive clipping machines in meat processing or to cap recipients.

The Case Study described by Mr. Nicola Pellizzari, Fiam Group’s

Product Manager for Air Motors, and related to a company in the Food Industry producing synthetic casings, refers to this specific function.

In fact, the above-mentioned synthetic casings, used to cover cured meats, have to be kept in appropriate jars, immersed in a 25 % saltwater solution for their perfect/proper preser- vation. The customer was looking for an effective technology that could eliminate the manual work of closing the lids of plastic jars in the production line, thus optimizing production operations even at this stage.

For this purpose, Fiam has designed and produced a customized air motor to be combined with a capping
