Bürkert has introduced its new 8681 control head, whcih was developed for decentral automation of hygienic seat valves, butterfly valves and ball valves. It supplements the Bürkert ELEMENT series of control heads, digital positioners and process controllers for diaphragm, angle seat and globe valves and rounds out the automation portfolio for the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
With the 8681 Bürkert presents a new control head which has been specially optimized for decentral automation of pneumatically controlled hygienic process valves. It is universally adaptable and can be combined with all commercially available valve types, such as butterfly valves, ball valves and single and double-seat valves.

Within the framework of decentral automation concepts the 8681, as a central unit, performs all pneumatic actuation, feedback and diagnostic functions, as well as bus communication. Depending on the process valve, as many as three pneumatic actuator chambers can be controlled separately.
