productBearing calculation software expanded
Schaeffler has expanded its BEARINX rolling bearing calculation software with a new module for designing rope and cable sheaves.
productTorkDrive – a torque limiting device which prevents valve damage
Smith Flow Control’s TorkDrive is designed to prevent manual valves from being damaged due to excessive torque application during valve operation.
productCorrect sizing of pipework and valves for steam applications ensures reliable and efficient operation.
Steam is used in a wide range of industries for a variety of processes, from a basic small heating circuit to large scale hygienic steam production, involving specialist equipment which needs to be designed and maintained properly to ensure efficient and reliable operation of the process equipment.
productSensors 101 – Understanding Sensors within a fluid control system
In the world of fluid control systems today, very little can be achieved without the raw data supplied by sensors, which need to be carefully specified to ensure that they are suited to their application. These sensors can help facilitate a variety of tasks from displaying process information and performing control functions to operating alarms, but each one has to communicate information to a process controller.
productNew valve body concept simplifies complex pipe interfaces
The latest generation of innovative INOX valve bodies from Bürkert can eliminate the need for a large number of pipe sections, bends and connections in complex interfaces. Removing a collection of conventional piping greatly reduces space requirements, speeds-up design and installation time and reduces the opportunities for leaks.
productSimplicity is the key to design and component selection for pneumatic control automation systems
The use of pneumatic process control systems has been adopted by a wide variety of industries and as the complexity of these control systems grows, so it becomes even more important to ensure high levels of reliability and integrity. However, not every system requires a huge valve island or bus communication to achieve the required level of automation.
productHeat Exchanger design and control is a ‘steamy’ issue
Heat exchangers are used in many forms across a range of industries, but one of the more common applications is in food processing where they are used to heat or cool a bulk food product. The process requires precise management to ensure that the correct heat transfer takes place, producing a food product at the required temperature while maximising efficiency. This requires expert knowledge in both steam applications and system design, both of which are areas where Bürkert Fluid Control Systems
productBürkert releases batch controller and flow transmitter with improved functionality
The Bürkert range of batch controllers is available as an insertion type, fitted directly to the pipework, type 8025, or as a remote version, type SE35, which operates in conjunction with a separate flowmeter. In both cases the controller has been re-engineered to improve functionality and the new products will be directly interchangeable with previous models to allow existing customers to upgrade current equipment without any complications.
productBoost in Efficiency for Top Chemical Distribution Company
When Brenntag, a global market leader in chemical distribution needed to replace its effluent monitoring and batch control systems, it turned to Bürkert for the complete solution. The end of life equipment was in need of replacement and improvement at the same time; a task that required expert knowledge of both design and installation. The result was a more efficient plant which complied with local water authority requirements as well as a recommendation to repeat the design at another facility.
