With its diverse customer base, SMC covers all automation industries and provides customers in their respective competitive markets with the best possible solutions. A rare find in the food industry – the IP69K rated manifold. The new IP69K manifold is available as part of the SY 5000 range, was developed with USA food industry customers in mind after various customer requests for such a manifold, and developed using local market research. The design means that the SY5000 series now offers a dedicated manifold with an IP69K rating. The focus on quality and performance of this product is second to none, and SMC again demonstrates that its focus is on customer-driven product development. The unit is now suitable for wet areas and can withstand wash down and cleaning. Customers have the ability to install valves outside of a protective box and close to the actuators for better control. The new device is lightweight and comes in a small package, is corrosion resistant, and easy to clean and maintain. The manifold is available from two to 16 stations, with a variety of valve styles offered. The manifold valves are available with options of rubber or metal seal valves. Pressures from – 100 to 700kPA are achievable in the rubber seal, with the metal seal operating at up to 1000kPA. The compact unit also comes with an optional power-saving coil which draws as little as .1 Watt.
