Catalogue covers fluid control needs
The catalogue includes Burkert's eControl 8611, the first modular control system designed for seamless integration into multiple closed-loop cooling systems.
Valves are a good fit for textile dyeing
A British company has found that its efforts to cost-engineer its dyeing machines with the help of Burkert Fluid Control Systems have led to an overwhelming success overseas.
Bigger valve is child's play
Burkert Fluid Control Systems has introduced its largest globe valve - a 4in model the size of a small child.
The unit integrates PI and cascade temperature control, has multiple input and output possibilities and offers two way communications with PLCs or other controllers.
The multifunction eControl 8611 offers the most cost effective method to decentralise control in closed cooling loops.
The flow controller integrates sensor and controller into a single housing and all units provide actuation of process and proportional valves from one consolidated controller, with resultant benefits to the user of lower overall equipment and installation costs, and improved product quality.
The integration of proportional/integral and cascaded temperature control into the Type 8611, together with dual indication of process values (ie temperature and flow), mean that the controller is unparalleled in its field.
In addition, the open system architecture of the unit's internal hardware and software design allows the system to be customised exactly to the user's application.
The eControl 8611 offers the benefit of working with pneumatically or electrically driven systems.
Its compact design allows uncomplicated installation, as an integral part of the flow sensor, or as a wall, or DIN-rail mounted controller.
The unit offers users the choice of 4-20mA, external frequency and Pt100 (RTD) inputs and the flexibility of four analogue or digital outputs to enable customisation.
In addition, the Type 8611 controller also interfaces seamlessly with Burkert's broad range of sensors and control valves, providing wider system capabilities to users.
The many benefits provided by the eControl 8611 - lower equipment costs, reduced size and system complexity and easier installation - mean that the unit is ideal for application in a wide range of applications: plastics and metal processing, die casting, blow moulding, injection moulding, grinding, thermoforming, robot welding and pulp and paper processing.
