Burkert Element control valve range

In the production of foods and beverages, and also of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, the requirements for hygiene and process reliability are especially stringent. The fittings used in these applications have to be able to be cleaned quickly, easily and, above all, thoroughly.

Bürkert is now expanding the line of valves in the Element design and is increasing the maximum available orifice size of the seat valve type 2100 (angle seat on/off), 2101 (globe valve on/off), the control seat valve type 2300 (angle seat) and 2301 (globe) from 15 to 100 mm. This significantly expands the area of application for these valve types, enabling their use at higher medium pressures on pipelines with an orifice opening up to DN 100.

The expanded area of application now makes it possible to equip many systems entirely with fittings from the Element series. The advantages of the modular Element platform can be used comprehensively. The valves and sensors control fluids, steam, caustic solutions and chemicals, as well as abrasive or high-purity substances in many applications and process environments. The stainless steel valves are rugged, hygienic and easy to use. The special drive design facilitates integration of automation units at all levels of the modular valve system, from the position transmitter to the electropneumatic positioner or process controller. This concept allows complete decentralised automation of even complex systems with minimal expense for cables and hoses.
