High Temperature Control for Exhaust Analysis

The control of emissions from combustion engines has made several headlines in the past, bringing the subject to the fore on several occasions. For those involved in designing and manufacturing the analysis equipment it is essential that they reproduce accurate results and that requires precision equipment especially at high temperatures. For one manufacturer the expertise and precision it needed was found at Bürkert Fluid Control Systems.

Industry 4.0 is a critical theme today. Step by step, the changes that it envisages are becoming a reality and the debate surrounding Industry 4.0 presents an opportunity to re-evaluate the needs of the market and to develop new business models on this basis.

In this context, it is clear that simply developing and marketing individual components designed with Industry 4.0 in mind will not suffice. The basic foundation must also be in place. The key concepts here are the wish for bespoke yet cost-effective products as well as efficient handling of small order quantities starting from batch sizes of 1, with short delivery times. This requires maximum flexibility both from the production facilities and in the supply of materials and, of course, on the part of employees.
As a result, every company is facing its own fourth industrial revolution that it must overcome by itself in order to be fit for the future.

Managing a culture of innovation

Many businesses dream of being led by innovation, yet struggle to generate the revenues that only large-scale manufacturing can deliver. Bürkert Fluid Control Systems appears to have achieved both, so how is a genuine culture of innovation balanced by commercial pressures?

Modern valve island enhances process reliability

Bürkert presented its new valve island AirLINE (Type 8652) for control cabinets. The valve island is easy to install and its integrated monitoring and diagnostic functions improve process reliability.

More function modules for compact water analysis system

Maintaining water quality standards is an essential process, not only for water supply companies, but also for those who rely on it for their commercial process applications. Analysing and recording various water quality parameters using the compact and modular solution from Bürkert Fluid Control Systems now has increased functionality thanks to new ‘cubes’ that add more test options.

New Bürkert Pneumatic Control Valve Island interfaces directly with Siemens ET 200SP

Pneumatic automation of processes, especially in hygienic applications, has led to a number of benefits in terms of productivity, safety and cleanliness. Now these benefits have been advanced further with the launch of Bürkert's Type 8647 AirLINE SP valve island, which has been developed to work seamlessly with Siemens operating systems and ET200SP hardware, and boasts market-leading diagnostics and safety features.

Wave of success for new flowmeters…

Flow measurement is an essential part of many manufacturing processes in both the food and the pharmaceutical industries. To serve this need, there is a vast array of measuring devices, from the most basic paddle wheel to an advanced Coriolis flowmeter. However, each has its own constraints and making the right choice is often a compromise.

Bürkert UK extends customisation and assembly service

Bürkert offers a wide range of high quality, innovative flow control products that can be used to create tailored measurement and control systems. For customers that are not already panel builders or system integrators these products need to be connected together to create process assemblies and mounted onto panels or into cabinets. Hence, Bürkert UK has extended its customisation and assembly service to take care of anything from a single valve manifold to a series production run of fully populated cabinets.

Calibration and cleaning tool for sensor modules

Drinking water as a food product must be precisely monitored in terms of area supply but also in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industry. Thanks to the proven Online Analysis System Type 8905 from Bürkert, it is possible to measure all relevant parameters.

Innovative flow meter uses SAW waves

The food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries require flow meters that not only operate with high precision, but also meet strict standards and legal requirements with regard to hygiene and cleaning. With FLOWave Type 8098, Bürkert offers a practical solution for this purpose.

Minimising waste in hygienic control valve applications

Manufacturing processes that operate under hygienic conditions are arguably under more pressures to increase efficiency and reduce waste due to high relative operating costs. However, this specialist area is required to prioritise cleanliness and precision ahead of other considerations, which can lead to some cost saving opportunities being missed.

Optimum level and flow control for food industry processes

Process control equipment used in the food and beverage industry has to operate effectively with a wide variety of fluids, granules and powders. Add to this different viscosities and the requirement for a hygienic environment, plus, the ability to keep process lines clean and sterile, then the scale of challenge in managing effective flow and level control in a food processing line becomes apparent.
