The new installation is equipped with ELEMENT diaphragm valves from Bürkert, offering a high degree of modularity with embedded diagnostic tools guaranteeing maximum reliability and safety. Limit switch devices with AS-i communication are installed on each pneumatic valve. Among the advantages offered by the new installation are the stainless steel design of all valve types and the AS-i type 8691 control head with multi-colour position indicator for visualisatio of the position from a distance. Bürkert was the only manufacturer of components and solutions that was capable of responding to all of Unither‘s needs in terms of valves and instrumentation as well as BBS-type pipework accessories, such as viewing windows and filters.
