How you benefit with Bürkert

Less complexity, better results

Valves, sensors and automation from a comprehensive range – coordinated as a control loop. This reduces the number of interfaces, the engineering workload and the risks associated with coordination.

Zuverlässigkeit-Icon

Compliance included as standard

FDA 21 CFR, EHEDG, 3-A, EC 1935/2004, GB, UL, ATEX: approved and documented ex works. This will help you reduce the effort involved in validation and ensure compliance for your global target markets.

Performance throughout the entire life cycle

From commissioning to maintenance: service, spare parts and diagnostics worldwide – including across different manufacturers. You’ll benefit from predictable availability, lower operating costs and less downtime.

How to benefit from our solutions for the food and beverage industry

Producers

  • Higher throughput and plant availability (OEE)
  • More efficient CIP/SIP processes with lower media consumption
  • Simpler documentation, traceability and audits
  • A reliable second source in case of supply shortages

Machinery and plant manufacturers

  • A standardisation and platform strategy across machine families
  • Faster engineering, from design and CAD to integration and systems
  • Scalability from prototype to full-scale production
  • Dependable supply capability and global rollout 

Smart solutions for your entire fluidic control loop

Whether you are designing a filling line, specifying a CIP station or operating a dairy: precise control of liquids and gases determines product quality, plant availability and regulatory compliance in the food and beverage industry. Bürkert offers a comprehensive product portfolio of components and system solutions for this purpose – from individual solenoid valves to ready-to-connect automation solutions.

Our automation solutions, sensors and valves for the food industry

Approvals, materials and hygienic design

In the food and beverage industry, regulatory approvals are a prerequisite for operating. Our accredited testing laboratory and in-house UL testing authorisation shorten approval cycles: certification is carried out in parallel with development.

Industry-specific process solutions

Milk reacts differently to shear forces than fruit juice; brewer’s yeast requires different conditions to those used in plant-based fermentation; and soft drink bottling has little in common with brewery filtration. Our application engineers are familiar with these differences and tailor components and designs to your process requirements – whether it be seal materials, flow velocity or cleaning procedures.

Measurable results

In food and beverage production, profitability and competitiveness can hinge on just a few percentage points – for example, a shorter cleaning cycle, the accurate detection of a phase transition, or comprehensive batch documentation. This is precisely where our components come into play.

Efficient, hygienic CIP cleaning

Precise conductivity and temperature measurement shortens CIP cycles and reduces water, alkali and acid consumption. 

 

Guideline: 15–25% shorter cycles.

Clean phase changes and comprehensive documentation

Contactless sensor technology distinguishes between the product, water and cleaning agent – minimising waste and feeding batch data directly into the control system/MES. 

 

Traceability without manual data entry.

Faster projects for machine manufacturers

Pre-configured systems, clear interfaces and engineering support speed up integration and commissioning. 

 

Guideline: 20–30% reduction in commissioning effort.
