Bürkert UK has launched a new system service for designing, manufacturing and commissioning packaged batch control solutions for use in markets such as hygienic processing, water treatment, pharmaceutical, medical/biomedical, chemicals, and many more.
Bürkert says its batch control solutions offer the advantages of integrating a range of fluid control products, with third-party products – where required – in systems that are bespoke to customer requirements, fully optimised for maximum performance and designed to meet specific sector requirements regarding hygiene.
The solutions are the result of Bürkert's ability to combine process and laboratory automation, valve elements, sensors, flowmeters, water treatment systems and networked communications into single source customised systems that deliver higher process efficiency and also higher yields with reduced waste.
The scope of Bürkert's service involves complete project responsibility, from conception to design, manufacture, assembly and testing. It covers both small and large production runs, extends to integration of third-party equipment, and offers the key benefit of simplifying equipment designs and making them more compact and easier to use.
The batch control solutions can be housed in control enclosures of almost any material, including GRP and stainless steel, and integrate comprehensive levels of instrumentation: level, pH, conductivity, ORP, combined flow rate, pH, ORP, temperature and conductivity, as well as visual displays and controllers.
‘What is increasingly evident, today, is that the complexity of modern processes cannot always be satisfied with standard batch control,’ said Tom Carnell, manager of Bürkert UK's System Division.
‘The requirements for process systems used in medical, biomedical and analytical applications are becoming more demanding. To meet these demands, specialised systems are often required. This could involve Bürkert producing a totally individual design, or, more simply, modifying an existing batch process product. Whatever the requirement, a team of engineers and technicians is on hand to provide the most cost effective solution, and the closest correlation between market demands and equipment performance.’
