ASCO Valves for Packaging Automation: Boost Efficiency and Reliability

In the world of packaging automation, speed, precision, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you’re handling food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods, every step of the packaging process must run smoothly to meet production goals and quality standards. One small component can have a major impact—and when it comes to fluid and air control, ASCO valves are a trusted name that deliver performance where it matters most.

 

At Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company, we proudly offer a range of ASCO solenoid and pneumatic valves that are specifically designed to support the high demands of packaging automation systems.

Why ASCO for Packaging Automation?

ASCO, a division of Emerson, has been a leader in fluid automation solutions for over a century. Their valves are engineered for fast response times, long life cycles, and seamless integration into modern automation systems.

Here’s why they’re a great fit for packaging applications:

 

High-Speed Actuation

Packaging lines rely on rapid cycling of machinery. ASCO solenoid valves are built for quick response—enabling faster actuator movement and improved production rates.

 

Compact & Reliable

With compact valve designs and low power consumption, ASCO products fit easily into tight machine layouts and reduce system wear. They’re also known for exceptional reliability, minimizing downtime.

 

Sanitary and Washdown-Ready Options

For food, beverage, or pharmaceutical packaging, ASCO offers stainless steel and washdown-rated valves that meet industry hygiene standards while standing up to aggressive cleaning procedures.

 

Versatility Across Applications

From controlling air flow in pneumatic cylinders to managing liquid filling and sealing processes, ASCO valves support a wide range of automation tasks. Their broad catalog includes 3-way, 4-way, proportional, and miniature valves to suit any system requirement.

Common Packaging Applications

Here are just a few of the ways ASCO valves support the packaging industry:

  • Pouch and bottle filling – Control accurate flow of liquids, gases, or powders.
  • Sealing systems – Enable precise actuation of heat seal bars or ultrasonic welders.
  • Labeling equipment – Drive consistent placement through pneumatic motion control.
  • Cartoning and case packing – Coordinate movement of arms, cylinders, and conveyors.
  • Vacuum systems – Operate suction cups for product picking and placement.
