Burkert Fluid Control Systems 
Integrating Instrumentation Monitoring Increases Process Efficiency and Membrane Life in Reverse Osmosis ProcessesScaling, fouling and oxidation are the natural enemies of reverse osmosis (RO) systems in water processing units—especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Proper process monitoring and control of critical parameters, such as pH, ORP, conductivity, flow, temperature and differential pressure can provide advanced warning and protection of a scaling, fouling or chemically attacked RO element. If these early warnings are ignored, the membrane may be damaged beyond the point that chemical cleaning can restore the system back to its original operating efficiency. 
INTEGRATED VALVE SYSTEMS ELIMINATE DISADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL AUTOMATION CONCEPTS IN HYGIENIC PROCESSESWith the development of practical solutions that integrate automation functions into the pneumatic actuators of process valves, decentralised automation systems have become a real alternative to control cabinet systems in many process sectors. Food and beverage producers, as well as companies in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors are now in a position to reconcile the commercial necessity of a high degree of automation of their production with the requirements of hygiene and safety. Thanks to their modular structure, systems based on intelligent process valves can be adapted to suit many situations and applications, whereby such optimised solutions are always based on high-quality, tried and tested components with a long service life. 
Improved pH Monitoring is Key to Improved Quality, Reduced Cost and Increased Yield in High-end Hygienic ProcessingThe monitoring of the pH of liquid media in high- end hygienic processes - in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and food processing - ensures not only that legal requirements are met, but also that quality standards are maintained, reducing cost and ensuring optimum levels of yield.

Burkert's Decentralised Method of Opening & Closing Process Valves Eliminates Energy Losses from Wasteful Venting of Control AirThe cost-down pressures inherent in all process industries mean that plant operators are consistently required to improve efficiency, at the same time as ensuring repeatable product quality. In pursuit of efficiency, companies are prepared to invest heavily in new plant and equipment. However, in many cases, real savings and efficiency improvements can be achieved relatively simply and at low cost by focussing on cutting energy usage. 
Modular, Tailor-made Cooling Systems can Guarantee Zero Leakage on Robotic Welding Systems Due to Welding Tip LossBy using configurable, modular control systems with operator-specific software, users of spot welding robot systems can acquire intelligent tailor-made cooling systems that guarantee zero leakage in their production environment as a result of loss or replacement of electrode tips. Such modular systems, consisting of compact devices with integrated sensor equipment, valves and controllers, can be individually configured to provide optimised cooling solutions for specific applications and operator requirements. Moreover, in contrast to conventional solutions consisting of products from various manufacturers, integrated solutions are much more compact in size and their components are specially chosen for optimised interoperability. 
Patented Flipper Technology Enables New Miniature 3/2 Isolation Valve to Set New Benchmark in Analytical & Biomedical Tasks.Burkert's innovative Type 6650 3/2 isolation valve uses patented flipper technology to set a new benchmark for miniature solenoid valves employed in clinical, life-science, analytical and fluid handling equipment. Suitable for use on vacuum, at up to 7-bar, and providing medium isolation for aggressive fluids, the direct-acting Type 6650 - at just 4.5mm wide - is a significant step towards miniaturisation, while outperforming comparable 10mm and 16mm designs. 
New Integrated Liquid Flow Controller Provides Cost Saving Solution For Dynamic Measurement Of Small Liquid/Gas FlowsThe integration of sensor, control electronics and proportional valves into a single compact device enables Burkert's new Liquid Flow Controller (LFC) to provide fast and accurate measurement and dosage of small volumes of liquids with nominal flow rates of 10 – 600 ml/min (0.6 to 36 l/h) with a 1:10. measuring span. Liquid Flow ControllerThe intelligent combination of high-performance flow-rate measurements and a highly precise proportional valve turns Bürkert´s Liquid Flow Controller into a perfect solution for a large number of industrial applications. The integration of sensor, control electronics and proportional valves into a single compact device make the Liquid Flow Controller ideally suited for applications requiring the fully-automatic metered dosing of small amounts of liquids.

The valves are employed by flow and level measuring specialists, Severn Instruments, as part of the company's tank overfill protection alarm system (TOPAS). The TOPAS system is critical to safe and efficient operation at fuel depots, as fuel spillages are potentially hazardous and cost around £1,000 per litre to clean up. 
Burkert Robolux Valves Reduce Valve Requirement from 8 to 4, & Eliminate Deadlegs on Asthma Inhaler Cartridge MachineBurkert has supplied a Robolux valve system on a machine that fills asthma inhaler cartridges for a multinational pharmaceutical company. The unique Robolux design has enabled Burkert to reduce the costs of the system drastically, by cutting the valve requirement from eight diaphragm valves down to four. In addition, because Burkert's integrated design has only one block – compared to two for competitors - there are fewer weld connections for the customer to make, reducing installation time and validation costs; and the integrated design also means that internal volumes are smaller, eliminating deadlegs and maximising sterility. 
Redesigned Miniature Valve Technology Sets Standards For Size & Performance In Laboratory, Analysis & Medical EngineeringIsolated miniature solenoid valves (IMSV) that provide maximum power from a minimum sized envelope are the current demand of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the field of laboratory and analysis technology, and also medical engineering. In clinical diagnostics, flow-rate and reliability are essential, while cleanliness is given top priority. In automated analytics, standard procedures such as titration, defined sampling and the precise dosage of reagents, based on integrated fluid control systems, require pinpoint precision and repeatability. In addition, manufacturers and users, when opting for a certain type of IMSV, also consider cost, wetted material type, cleanability, dosage capacity and flushing characteristics of the valve.

Controlling Complex Processes in Hazardous Zones 1/21 Using Decentralised Electrical & Pneumatic Systems & Fieldbus CommsWorking with volatile liquids and gases is an everyday occurrence in pharmaceutical and chemical industries, often involving hazardous: i.e. explosive, atmospheres (ATEX rated 1/21). Historically, this has meant that control cabinets combining electrical and pneumatic devices could not be used in these areas. This was due to the risk of corrosion of electrical parts, which could subsequently cause an explosion. Today, a new solution permits the combination of electrical and pneumatic devices with Fieldbus communications, even in zone 1/21 environments. Developed by Burkert, this combines the company's AirLINE Ex 8650 system with modules from the intrinsically safe SIMATIC ET 200iSP system from Siemens. It provides users with a complete ATEX certified unit for use in zone 1/21, achieving cost savings by delivering substantial reductions in cabinet space, wiring, documentation and validation.
