ovens. The rodless cylinder used to shuttle
racks from the conveyor into the ovens was
not moving fast enough to keep up with the APPLICABLE PRODUCTS
anticipated production rate.
Prestolok PLP Metal Fittings

control, creating faster rack movement and Prestolok PLM Metal Fittings
finer speed adjustment. The advanced flow Flow Controls
control is now standard for the company’s
pneumatic cylinders.

Benefits: Optimal flow • Finer speed
adjustment • Enhanced production rate
