Bürkert with new campaign and outstanding new developments

For Bürkert, this year's Hannover Messe (7-11 April 2014) will mark an exceptional year of innovation & new developments. Again, the specialists for fluidic control systems put their transition from components manufacturer to systems provider forward, offering comprehensive technological solutions. The newest step in this transition is marked by a compact online analysis system for fresh water treatment and a new flowmeter technology.

Bürkert is the key sponsor of the "InPrint Industrial Print Research" survey

Co-located with Hannover Messe, a trade show for industrial print technology will be held for the first time from 8 to 10 April 2014: InPrint. Here more than 100 leading companies are presenting advanced printing equipment and manufacturing solutions for the decorative and functional printing sector. During the event, Bürkert along with the show's coordinators will be conducting a survey on the success of the trade show as well as trends and topics of the industry. In this context Bürkert will present itself as a key sponsor of the "InPrint Industrial Print Research".

HERMES AWARD 2014

Jury nominates five Companies!

Integrating modern technologies in water treatment process control

Process control is vital to ensuring the integrity of the water supply chain, in civil and industrial applications. Technological innovation in this sector, relating specifically to the design, installation and operation of process control equipment, has consistently delivered improvements but remaining viable in this industry requires staying abreast of the latest industry trends to ensure an efficient and effective system.

Bürkert sponsors hydrogen electric race car

The fluid technology specialist Bürkert provided a fluid control system for the fuel cell stack of the hydrogen electric race car "Forze VI". The racing team is run by students of the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. The hydrogen electric race car will attempt to break the record for fuel cell powered vehicles on the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife. Besides records the goal is to compete against petrol powered race cars to demonstrate how fast green technology can be. Bürkert will present the race car at this year's Hannover Fair (Hall: 27, Booth: D63).

Steam expertise from Bürkert reduces costs in pet food production

As with human food, the production standards laid down for pet foods are rigorous, requiring manufacturers to ensure that production processes are carefully controlled in order to deliver a consistent, high quality product. A large part of achieving this is dependent on the cooking process, which involves the controlled use of steam - an area where Bürkert Fluid Control Systems is applying its considerable expertise to maximise efficiency and reduce costs.

New at Bürkert: Type 8697 pneumatic control unit/position feedback

In combination with suitable process valves, the new components produce a compact valve system. Convincing features include an integrated pilot valve with manual actuation, an LED position indicator and automatic adjustment of the end position feedback.

Innovation meets efficiency with Bürkert's new type 8697 pneumatic control unit/position feedback

Bürkert's new type 8697 pneumatic control unit with position feedback, with LED status indication, has been released to fit all Classic and Element valves. The IP65/67 8697 head has mechanical or inductive position switches, and an integrated pneumatic pilot to control single-acting actuators.  This innovation replaces the type 1062, offering one-button commissioning for decentralised automation for small drives.

The Bürkert Academy expands process knowledge with qualified trainers

The Bürkert Academy has expanded its range of process industry courses and released its training calendar for 2014. The Academy will conduct courses in all state capitals and regional processing centres, on a monthly or bimonthly basis, throughout the year.  Courses will be conducted in Bürkert's training facilities, or can be arranged on-site to minimise delegate travel.
