New ELEMENT Process Valves & Actuators deliver improved Standardisation and Cost Reductions
New ELEMENT Process Valves & Actuators deliver improved Standardisation and Cost Reductions
Bürkert’s modular ELEMENT system, which is setting new benchmarks for cleanline operation and cost reduction in hygienic process measurement and control, has been expanded to include process valves with orifice diameters up to 50mm (DN 50) and process actuators in sizes up to 130mm.
“The outstanding success of our modular, stainless steel ELEMENT system across all hygienic processing markets – pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage and bio-medicals – has resulted in demands from users for a wider range of equipment types and sizes,”
said Neil Saunders, Sales Manager of Bürkert UK & Ireland.
“The new 50mm orifice sizes for the ELEMENT series valve range and larger actuator sizes are part of a wider programme to meet this demand, with other additions to the ELEMENT range, which came on stream in the first quarter of 2013.”
The expansion of the ELEMENT valve range significantly expands the area of application for these valve types, enabling their use at higher medium pressures on pipelines with orifices up to DN 50.
Included in the expanded range arethe type 2100 angle seat on/off valve, the 2101 on/off globe valve, the 2103 diaphragm valve family, the type 2300 modulating angle seat valve and 2301 series modulating globe valve.
The major advantage for users of the expanded ELEMENT is that it is now possible to achieve greater plant standardisation by equipping many process systems with equipment entirely from the modular ELEMENT platform.
The benefits of this approach are many. First, the ELEMENT valves and sensors reliably control fluids, steam, caustic solutions and chemicals, as well as abrasive or high-purity substances in the widest range of applications and process environments. Second, the stainless steel valves (IP65/67) are rugged, hygienic, and easy to clean and use.
Third, the special ELEMENT actuator design facilitates integration of automation units at all levels of the modular valve system, from the position transmitter to the electro-pneumatic positioner or process controller. This allows complete decentralised automation of even complex systems, with minimal expense for cables and hoses.
More about the ELEMENT range
Bürkert’s ELEMENT range proves the adage that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, providing a modular programme of process control products that combine effortlessly to deliver solutions to specific process requirements, whether they be in environmentally aggressive or hygienic areas.
The products include valves for on/off and modulating control, and sensors for pH/ORP, conductivity and level; plus digital positioners, control heads and actuators, all of which are designed for valve mounting, delivering maximum space saving and performance.
In addition, the integration of backlit displays and coloured status lights on many ELEMENT products, enables users to have more interaction and transparency in their systems, by being able to quickly determine diagnostic messages at a glance.
