Introducing Tool-Free Mounting and Reduced Service Times with Bürkert's Direct Acting Service Valves

In the bustling world of beverage manufacturing, efficiency and reliability are paramount. Every second of downtime can result in significant losses, making the choice of components like solenoid valves critical to operational success. Enter Bürkert’s latest innovation, the Direct Acting Service Valve Series (Types 7015, 7016 and 7017), designed to revolutionise the beverage manufacturing industry with its tool-free mounting and rapid servicing capabilities.

Streamlined Performance for Beverage Manufacturers

Bürkert has long been synonymous with innovation in fluid control technology. Their new Direct Acting Service Valve Series is explicitly engineered to meet the rigorous demands of applications in beverage manufacturing, such as fully automatic coffee machines, beverage dispensers (including dosing of flavours and syrups), and sterilisation equipment. These applications demand not only precision and reliability but also components that can minimise downtime and reduce maintenance costs.

Key Features Tailored to Industry Needs

The hallmark of the Direct Acting Service Valve Series is its tool-free coil mounting, a game-changing feature that allows for quick and easy maintenance. This advancement eliminates the need for specialised tools that can prolong service times, reducing the hassle and risk of lost screws — common pain points in traditional valve maintenance.

Furthermore, the compact design of these valves supports space efficiency, a crucial factor in the tightly packed environments often found in beverage manufacturing facilities. The valves are also compatible with a variety of media, including water, gaseous substances, and slightly aggressive liquids, thanks in part to their robust construction featuring materials like FKM, EPDM, PPS, and stainless steel. This compatibility ensures leakage safety and long-term, reliable operation under varying conditions.

Sophisticated Service Concepts for Optimal Availability

In today’s manufacturing climate, ensuring maximum equipment availability is non-negotiable. Bürkert’s sophisticated service concept is a testament to this need, focusing on reducing service times and simplifying maintenance processes. The valve series is designed not just for state-of-the-art performance but also for seamless integration into existing systems, with features like drill holes, clips, and mounting brackets with snap-in functions that support compact assembly and straightforward access for service personnel.

The quick-release fasteners enable easy opening of the fluid housing, allowing for rapid inspection and replacement of components like diaphragms. This design facilitates the adoption of the “ski-shoe technique”, securely closing fluidics post-service, further enhancing safety and efficiency.

Transforming Service into Cost Savings

Bürkert’s Direct Acting Service Valves do more than just streamline maintenance — they transform it into a cost-saving opportunity. Tool-free maintenance reduces machine downtime and, consequently, operational costs, providing a compelling advantage in an industry where time is money.
