Burkert has set up an extended design-and-build service for high-tech, pre-assembled Microfluidic systems and custom-designed process control cabinets. Meeting the needs of applications such as food, beverage, process, chemical, pharmaceutical, medical/biomedical, water and oil and gas, the extended service combines process and laboratory automation, valve elements, sensors, flowmeters, water treatment systems and networked communications into single-source customised systems, which deliver higher process efficiency and higher yields with reduced waste.Burkert's service involves complete project responsibility, from conception through design, manufacture, assembly and testing. It covers small and large production runs, extends to integration of third-party equipment, and offers the benefit of simplifying equipment designs, making them more competitive, more compact and easier to assemble.
Irwin Hodgkiss, manager of Burkert's system division, said: 'At our Stroud facility we are providing products ranging from ATEX-certified control cabinets, to Microfluidic multi-station dosing and mixing units for DNA synthesis, to systems based on our mxControl, multi-parameter controller, which fully automate and optimise water treatment and purification processes. 'Additional support is provided by Burkert's modern and extensive European Systemhaus capability, with its highly experienced engineering staff.'.
