articleThe humble solenoid has been with us since the early 1900s and since its invention it has seen a number of developments that have enabled it to provide control over a wide range of applications. Paul Trevitt, operations & engineering manager for Bürkert UK & Ireland, looks at some of the improvements that have allowed an increasing number of processes to rely on the device

productWhen operating an oil-fired boiler the overall efficiency of the fuel is largely due to the particle size of the oil and its viscosity which requires accurate measurement of temperature and pressure to give a consistent fuel jet and maximise the efficiency of the burner. Bürkert has developed a range of pressure transmitters which provide a standardised 4-20mA output and are easily integrated into the control loop to provide accurate data.
articleFlow measurement is a key part of many processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries. To serve this need, there is a vast array of measuring devices, from basic paddle wheel to advanced Coriolis flowmeter. Each has its own constraints, so the right choice often involves compromise. Damien Moran, account manager, Ireland, for Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, explains how recent advances in flowmeter design can benefit many hygienic processes.
articleIt can be a challenge to maintain efficiency in manufacturing processes that rely on rapid temperature change, they are energy intensive and will often form a natural bottle-neck in an overall process. Implementing an accurate and responsive control strategy can help, explains Greg Wainhouse, UK Segment Manager for Water, Bürkert Fluid Control Systems
newsA sharp increase in the number and cost of cyber attacks is the key finding in a study of more than 5,400 organisations across seven countries, commissioned by insurer Hiscox. More than three out of five firms (61%) report one or more attacks in the past year, yet the proportion achieving top scores for their cyber security readiness is marginally down year-on-year.
