👷 Designing reliable pneumatic systems starts with two things: air quality and correct preparation.

1. Learn how to define requirements with ISO 8573 (classes, industry examples, and checklists).
2. Understand how a maintenance unit works (filtration, drying, sensors, and safety).

📘 In both articles, you will find access to the whitepaper with the 5 most frequently asked questions about air preparation. 👉 ISO 8573 (normative basis): https://www.festo.com/za/en/e/about-festo/blog/in-practice/iso-8573-the-essential-guide-to-compressed-air-quality-id_2190127/

Oxygen is becoming increasingly important, not just in the life sciences sector, but also in food and biotech. In many applications, the flow of air or other gases must be controlled.

The gas must always be precisely dosed, whether used to control protective gases in production or to provide breathing air in medical devices.

Meeting the high demands for reliability and performance is just as important as cost efficiency.

The new VEMD does both: it offers high dynamic response and is very favourably priced.
