Modular range of intelligent liquid
level sensors
A new range of intelligent liquid level sensors are easily adapted to the widest range of requirements in demanding water treatment, pharmaceutical, food and other hygiene-based industries
This new range from Burkert is a single concept with many variants; it enables several different measuring technologies to be integrated into one type of housing, including tuning fork sensors for on/off monitoring or overfill protection; ultrasound for continuous measurement, using a 2-wire circuit; guided microwave and radar The launch of the new sensors is the latest stage in the Burkert strategy of providing system solutions using intelligent process valves and sensors

Servo-assisted solenoid valve for universal use
The new Burkert type 6240 valve is an extremely compact, servo-assisted solenoid valve for universal use with neutral gases and liquids such as compressed air, water, hydraulic oil and steam
Modular Mini range of GP solenoid valves
The new Burkert Type 6027 modular range of general purpose solenoid valves is designed for use with vacuum, neutral gases, fluids (compressed air, water, oil) and slightly aggressive media, to 16bar
The combination of these elements creates systematically optimised control loops, which deploy state-of-the art technology, not only for filling level and flow control, but also for analysis tasks.
The communication technique employed is centred on sensors integrating with intelligent valve control heads.
This enables implementation of low-cost local control loops, which can communicate with supervisory systems such as PLCs and DCS systems via standard interfaces.
The level sensors can be easily integrated into almost any system configuration due to their wide range of connection options, including a 4-20mA 2-wire circuit; optional interface for Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus; Hart protocol; and limit detection via contactless output, transistor or NAMUR signal.
The sensors are all designed using FDA approved materials; they hold Exia ATEX approvals, and comply with EHEDG regulations, as required in hygienic areas, and regulations on the use of materials resistant to cleaning fluids. Request a free brochure from Burkert Fluid Control Systems ...
