Burkert systems support these tasks with high accuracy and repeatability. In addition, the solutions can be integrated with automated process control systems to maintain consistency and traceability.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment
  Controlling flows of water, chemicals and waste streams is central to treatment facilities. Burkert control valves and sensors help regulate dosing, filtration and distribution. Furthermore, the products can withstand harsh environments and heavy use. Therefore, water treatment plants benefit from greater uptime and reduced maintenance costs.
• Chemical Processing
  Chemical plants handle a wide range of liquids and gases under varying pressures and temperatures. Burkert offers materials and designs that suit aggressive media and demanding conditions. In addition, the company’s systems support accurate batching, blending and reagent control. As a result, plant operators can achieve consistent product quality and safer operations.
• Automotive Manufacturing
  Automotive production lines use fluid control for paint application, cooling circuits, pneumatic systems and robotic controls. Burkert products provide reliable control of air and liquids in these processes. In addition, the brand’s components are designed for long life and low maintenance. This helps automotive manufacturers maintain productivity and keep cycle times low.
• Energy and Power Generation
  In energy systems, valves and sensors are used to control steam, gas and cooling fluids. Burkert solutions assist in power generation plants, renewable energy systems and auxiliary infrastructure. Moreover, the products support remote monitoring and automation. This allows operators to manage systems more effectively and respond quickly to changes.
• Semiconductor and Electronics
  Manufacturing electronics requires extremely clean, controlled environments. Fluid control components are used for process gasses, etchants and cooling fluids. Burkert products deliver the precision needed for these sensitive applications. In addition, they help maintain throughput and reduce defects.

Burkert provides a broad portfolio of fluid control products. These products are designed to work together or independently, depending on the system requirements. The main product groups include the following.

• Control Valves
  Control valves are central to fluid regulation in automated systems. Burkert offers a wide range of valves, including diaphragm valves, solenoid valves and proportional valves. These products control flow, pressure and temperature of liquids and gases. In addition, they are available in various sizes and materials to suit different applications.
• Sensors and Transmitters
  Accurate measurement is needed to control process conditions. Burkert sensors measure pressure, temperature, flow, pH, conductivity and level. When connected to control systems, these sensors provide real time data for faster decision making. Moreover, the sensors can be used with digital communication protocols for advanced integration.
• Actuators and Positioners
  To automate valve movement, Burkert supplies actuators and positioners. These devices convert control signals into mechanical motion. This allows valves to open or close accurately and quickly. Pneumatic and electric options are available depending on the application and control system.
• Flow and Level Measurement Devices
  Understanding flow rates and fluid levels is essential in many processes. Burkert’s flow meters and level probes provide reliable data to control systems. These products help optimise processes, reduce waste and improve system safety. They are available for liquids and gases across various industries.
• Air Preparation Equipment
  Air preparation units condition compressed air for use in pneumatic control systems. This includes filters, regulators and lubricators. Good air quality extends the life of valves and actuators while reducing maintenance. Burkert offers modular air preparation solutions to fit many system layouts.
• Process Automation Systems
  For complex requirements, Burkert provides complete automation systems. These include valve manifolds, control cabinets and integrated assemblies. Such systems reduce installation time and complexity. In addition, they support efficient commissioning and future maintenance.
• Specialised Solutions and Custom Designs
  Some applications require bespoke components or system assemblies. Burkert works with engineers to deliver customised solutions. Whether it involves tailored materials, unique configurations or integrated electronics, custom designs help meet challenging specifications.

Choosing the right fluid control products can have a significant impact on system performance, efficiency and total cost of ownership. Burkert stands out because of its engineering expertise, wide product range and global support network. The components are built to last, even in harsh conditions. Moreover, the company continues to innovate with modern control technologies.
