An introduction to Bürkert’s Process Automation solutions

For more than six decades, Bürkert has been a pioneer in the field of flow control and measurement. They make it their goal to engineer innovative solutions to specific, real-world problems - and they keep producing brilliant technology as a result. In this article, PIF explores their full range of process automation solutions.

If you need an automation upgrade, Bürkert can give you an independent assessment of your plant's systems to provide an efficient and reliable solution. With an unbeatable combination of high-tech products, and seriously impressive expertise and experience honed over 60 years, when Bürkert say they can offer you the perfect automation solution, they really mean it - whether that be for a central, decentral or distributed installation.

Decentral automation

The diaphragm and process valve systems of the ELEMENT series are ideal for straightforward and flexible solutions. The intelligent, fast-acting process valve systems also help to keep processes lean.

Features and benefits:

• Reliable, clear process monitoring.
• Hygienic design for optimal cleanability.
• Reduced energy costs.
• Fast start-up, easy maintenance.

Distributed automation

The flexible combination of complete control cabinets, CLASSIC process valves and the AirLINE valve island series is ideal for safe, close-to-process installation. The interaction of components enables compact solutions based on control cabinets or pneumatic field modules, which can always be extended as needed.

Features and benefits:

• Less engineering needed.
• Compact solution with control cabinet or stand-alone field module.
• Reduced costs thanks to shorter distances.
• Compatible with all common communication standards.
• Robust and easy to clean.

Central automation

Concentrating all equipment at a single location can be done easily and quickly with mutually compatible components. Proven technology - control cabinets, valve islands, communication modules and CLASSIC valves - work together to provide highest levels of reliability.

Features and benefits:

• Everything in one place.
• Protection against corrosion and unauthorised access.
• Tried-and-tested technology for optimal operational reliability.
• Modular assembly for individual solutions.
