We Make Ideas Flow
Control cabinets can contain many diverse components,
depending on the application. Starting with 2 valves mounted
in a small plastic control box, to control cabinets with com­bined pneumatic, electronic and valve technology, all the way
to highly complex customized system panels with control
functions in a stainless steel housing, Bürkert – as a competentsystem supplier – offers a broad spectrum of control cabinet
solutions.
The focus is on system solutions for process automation
with applications in the segments of Water, Gas and Hygienic.
On the following pages you will find numerous referencesfrom the target segments food and beverage, pharma­
ceuticals, water treatment and chemicals. References arealso provided for cooling systems, coating technology withgases and biodiesel applications.
And for the certification of your control cabinets you also havethe right partner at your side. Our Systemhaus locations inGermany, the USA and China develop customized control
cabinets for your complex production processes – in keepingwith our motto: We Make Ideas Flow.

Standardized Solution
for Cheese
Our deep experience in the Hygienic segment means we can combine
our knowledge and abilities to create solutions that fit exactly with yourrequirements.
Today’s manufacturing of foods, juices, energy drinks, beer, or cheese
need robust control, communication, automation and super reliable
actuation.
One example would be the almost standardized supply of control
cabinets for cheese processes where our Systemhaus in Menden,
Germany, created specifications for different control cabinet configurations for the customer.
Our cheese production customers always get the same system solution
with the right, true and tested, components.
The heart of Bürkert’s control cabinet solutions is the 8640 valve
island which seamlessly combines the pneumatics and digital position
feedback.

Hygienic meets Design
In the FrieslandCampina butter factory, millions of packages of butter
are produced every day. To be sure that their customers only receive
the highest quality and safest butter, the highly automated production
plant is maintained in under the most stringent hygienic conditions.
Bürkert is at the center of their Clean in Place (CIP) régime. Controlling acidic, alkaline and sanitising fluids in an exact and documented
sequence. Being at the center means this intelligent solution needs tobe protected from the aggressive cleaning agents it controls. Ingress
protection and chemical resistance are as important as smart communications in this world.
Bürkert AirLINE Type 8640 Hygienic Design control cabinets are used
for piloting of pneumatic process actuators in hygienic environments.
This intelligent solution is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, offers
high IP protection and withstands mechanical influences.

AirLINE Quick in the
Pharmaceutical Industry
Process actuation is the heart of Bürkert’s pharmaceutical expertise.
With clients around the world at pharmaceutical plants, builders offermentors, filtration skids and WFI production equipment we haveexceeded market expectations for modularity, performance and easeof use. Our innovation continues into the hazardous location which
is often present in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production plants withsystems built for Zone 1 and 2 or Class 1 Div 1 FM as required.
The next generation AirLINE – AirLINE Quick significantly reduces thedifficulty of cabinet production while still providing the ultimate in flexibility. The beautiful stainless steel version makes it a perfect choice forpharma.
A unique feature of the Type 8640 valve island and the Type 8644
automation system is the combination of the pneumatic connections,field bus interface and I/O modules directly on the floor or wall of theswitch cabinet, which means that the switch cabinet can be smaller
than in the past.
In addition to AirLINE Quick in a stainless steel version for hygienic
applications, the concept is also available for general purpose applications with an anodized aluminium adapter plate and nickel-plated
brass pneumatic connections.

Locations
Bayer Schering Pharma AG often uses highly volatile, flammable
substances in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Areasfor such applications are defined by the European ATEX Directive aszones and contain explosion-protected equipment.
In choosing decentral control units Bayer Schering Pharma AG
decided to use a system solution from Bürkert. ATEX-certified control
cabinets combine electrical and pneumatic control functions in one
unit and require only one certificate. This simplifies user documentation
by eliminating the need for proof of inherent safety, compatibility considerations, wiring diagrams and temperature rise measurements, etc.
The configuration of the individual stations and their modules andalso the parameters of the individual channels are stored within theprocess control system PCS 7.
The control cabinets are connected to the control system by Profibus
DP, which in the intrinsically safe version (RS485-IS) enables up to 31
devices per link and a maximum baud rate of 1.5 MBaud.

Oxidation Air Unit in theTreatment of Drinking Water

System solution in waterworks:
Oxidation air unit with additionalsafety functions integrated in thecontrol cabinet

For metering of air or oxygen or measuring and controlling masses,
Bürkert offers a complete line of mass flow sensors, controllers andsolenoid control valves.
Oxidation air units are used in water treatment to oxidise iron or manganese. These oxides are precipitated so they can be removed from thedrinking water with conventional filters. A mass flow controller makes
it possible to regulate the gas quantity based on various process parameters, to achieve optimal results with minimal gas consumption.
Other safety-related functions such as additional shut-off valves,
non-return valves, manual operation and field displays are taken into
account on a customer-by-customer basis and mounted in the control
cabinet as a complete solution.
The main customer benefit here again is a flexible and uncomplicatedproject workflow, competent advice on-site, a high standard of quality
for all equipment and services and the specific fulfilment of the customer requirement for everything to be “fit for purpose”.

Control Chemistry
Bürkert components are used in the chemical industry for automationand control of complex production processes. Efficient solution concepts are developed in coordination with the customer and implemented in the Bürkert’s own ATEX-certified control cabinet construction.
For example, Bürkert supplies a well-known customer in the chemicalindustry with control cabinets for the new production plant for membrane filters in Bitterfeld. In close cooperation with a planning­company, a concept was developed that includes control cabinets ofdifferent versions and conversion stages for indoor and outdoor explosion protected areas. In addition to pneumatic signals for control of theactuators in the field, the control cabinets also process all intrinsicallysafe analog and binary signals from sensors and other field devices.
Bürkert Type 8650 AirLINE Ex valve islands are used here. The intrinsically safe pneumatic valves, completely integrated in the SIMATIC
ET 200iSP system, enable unequalled flexibility in explosion-protectedareas. The pneumatic and electric HotSwap system makes it possible
to replace valves during operation. This is essential to increasing plant
availability and minimizing production downtimes.

cess reliability in the chemical pro­
cess of the Goldschmidt
company

Change under Pressure
Explosion protection is a given in many chemical plant but system
availability is also key. Failure is not an option for many components
and redundancy can be built into systems to reduce the risk.
In some plants even a few minutes can jeopardize productivity,
operating cost and safety so customers require robust and reliable
solutions that allow quick corrective action at the pain point.
Our HotSwap design means that the replacement of single components is possible without stopping the entire process.
Integrated process reliability makes it simple to replace a pilot valve
during under pressure. During HotSwap ony a small air stream canescape from the pneumatic base module, but the air pressure on theentire valve block does not fail.

Bürkert also offers control cabinet solutions foralternative fuels. Vegetable oil can be used in thisapplication as an alternative to diesel fuel. The
cold start of a vehicle always requires diesel andthe switch to vegetable oil requires a minimum
temperature for the alternative fuel. It is always
important to prevent oil from entering the dieseltank.

In the food processing sector, many different gases
are used to maintain the freshness and quality of
products. In this sector we likewise implement theideas of our customers to create functional andenergy-efficient solutions. Program processes andinterfaces are optimized for the end user to ensure
process reliability.

The cooling of industrial processes, such as in the
die-casting industry, require modular solutions
that are adapted to the respective task with respect
to valve, sensor and control technology. Importantmarginal conditions here are the temperatures andpressure of the medium, and above all, the water
quality. Based on decades of experience and ourbroad product spectrum, Bürkert can always offer
the optimal solution, integrated in completely
pre-installed and inspected control cabinets, in timetested Bürkert quality – all from one source!
