Steriliser & Autoclave Control
Infection protection is a rapidly growing industry where sterility and reliability are crucial. Our hardworking valve and sensor elements can be found in steam sterilizers and process autoclaves in hospitals, laboratories, food plants and breweries around the globe.
The by-word for quality products, Bürkert can also claim to be a leading source of application knowledge and knowhow for steam sterilisers and autoclaves. One of the key drivers for this industry, is to provide repeatable results, when ever needed. We take time to understand your process requirements to bring you accurate and safe solutions. Some of our latest system innovations in this field include the Innox welded solution which dramatically reduces the space envelop needed.
With years of experience optimising steam and vacuum profiles, our solutions have been controlling and monitoring steam delivery, temperature and pressure in the rear of the steriliser, ensuring that the user is only ever provided with safe and repeatable results from the front.
