Bürkert has launched two new stainless steel valve actuators, created specifically for tough hygienic operating environments. The Types 2060 and 2063 are designed to control angle seat valves and diaphragm valves respectively and incorporate Bürkert’s tried and tested valve control technology.
The external surfaces of both valve actuators are manufactured from smooth, laser welded stainless steel, which is resistant to humidity, cleaning detergents and high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning processes.
Internally, the new valve actuators use the proven valve piston coupled with trusted packing for high reliability and ELEMENT spindle guidance that allows the v-seals to be exchanged for different sized actuators.
The angle seat actuator, Type 2060, can operate with media temperatures up to 185 °C and is available in four actuator sizes for pipe diameters between DN15 and DN65. The diaphragm valve actuator, Type 2063, can be specified with a variety of valve body designs and diaphragm materials to ensure optimum conditions inside the control valve are maintained.
Both actuators have been designed and tested to withstand the harsh environment of a salt spray atmosphere, according to ISO 9227, for 600 hours without any sign of corrosion.
