Product Description

The device Type 8691 control head is designed for decentralised automation of ELEMENT Type 21xx pneumatic process valves. The valve position is registered via a contact-free, analogue sensor element which automatically detects and saves the valve end position using the Teach function during start-up. The integrated pilot valve controls single or double-acting actuators. An optional communication interface, AS-Interface, IO-Link or büS (based on CANopen) can be selected. The design of the control head and the actuator permits integrated pilot air duct without external piping. Besides the electrical position feedback, the device status is shown directly on the control head itself through coloured powerful LEDs, even in difficult ambient conditions. The housing is easy to clean and features proven IP protection and chemically resistant materials for use in hygienic processing in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Focused on plant wash-down applications, the IP protection of the housing is supported by positive pressure inside the control head. Combined with Bürkert ELEMENT actuators, the pneumatic actuating system enables spring chamber aeration that avoids actuator chamber contamination from the environment.

Brand

Bürkert was founded in Germany in 1946 by Christian Bürkert, who began developing and manufacturing innovative products such as foot warmers, oven controls and thermal control systems for incubators.

International presence

In the years that followed the fledgling company increasingly focused on valve technology and soon became an international benchmark for industrial solenoid valves with dedicated research and development and manufacturing plants located across the globe.

Christian succeeded in building an enterprise that is today a global leader in fluid control systems, designing and manufacturing everything from single valves to high-tech sensors, all constructed to the highest quality and applying state-of-the-art technology.
