Improving flow control in pneumatic conveying systems

For many industries, pneumatic conveying brings a number of advantages, not least the lack of moving parts and system flexibility. However, it is essential that such systems are properly controlled in order to maintain efficiency and the quality of the product in transit. Delivering effective process control systems requires an understanding of both the technology and the industry itself.

Finding the right control valve solution

The world of fluid control systems presents a whole host of challenges for those involved in designing, operating and maintaining them. Not least of these is finding the most suitable valve for an application; the choice seems almost endless but help is at hand for those who prefer to select all of their components from one source. With a comprehensive catalogue and easy access to expert technical advice, Bürkert can provide the complete solution.

Delivering on the requirement for ATEX control panels

Designing and building process control panels requires considerable experience and expertise, especially when they are destined for hazardous areas. These potentially explosive atmospheres, or zoned areas, are more common than you’d think, with applications spread across a number of industries from obvious ones like oil & gas to less well recognised areas such as food & drink or rail.

Bürkert maintains list price freeze for 2017

Fluid control expert, Bürkert, has bucked the industry trend for price increases by implementing a list price freeze for January 2017. While many other manufacturers have already communicated price rises between 5% and 11%, Bürkert aims to maintain current price levels for its customers.

Bürkert offers fast delivery on full-bore mag flowmeters

The traditional lead time of 6-8 weeks for an electromagnetic flowmeter has been cut to just 10 working days by Bürkert. Although a relatively low volume product, ‘magmeters’, as they are commonly known, are used in many applications but replacement parts are often made to order which can delay projects or reduce productivity for a considerable time. Faster delivery should benefit end users and process equipment manufacturers alike.

Bürkert appoints new account manager for Ireland

Bürkert Fluid Control Systems has appointed Damien Moran as a dedicated Account Manager for Ireland. The position supports customers in specifying fluid control systems by coordinating the expertise from Bürkert’s worldwide stock and engineering centres to deliver cost effective, bespoke solutions.

Taking control of automation in the Food & Beverage sector

Increasing competitiveness and higher levels of regulatory compliance are placing greater demands on the food and beverage industry; improving automation levels and plant integration can address these concerns. However, with every installation being unique, creating an automation solution that is specifically matched to the application requires considerable expertise.

Steam control valves – getting the most from this vital component

Process control in hygienic applications, such as the food and beverage sector, demands a great deal from the components that are used to manage the manufacturing and cleaning processes. Choosing the right steam control valve can bring a number of benefits including precision, reliability, minimal maintenance and durability in challenging environments.
