Specially designed manifolds
November 1st 2003

Burkert Fluid Control Systems has supplied specially designed manifolds and a number of sensors and valves to Doncasters Paralloy. They are used to control delivery of liquid electrolyte to two electro-chemical machining units that machine internal bore profiles in cast nickel alloy furnace tubes produced at the Billingham plant. The pre-mixed electrolyte, that passes through the furnace tubes as part of the machining process, is stored in a tank in the chemical area of the plant. The liquids computer-controlled distribution system, designed by Doncasters Paralloy, uses special Burkert-designed manifolds and a combination of Burkert sensors and proportional valves to help monitor and maintain flow, temperature, level, pressure, ph and conductivity. The installation used products from almost every Burkert fluid control range.
