Making aluminium drives resistant to cleaning chemicals
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
APC enables capacity increases without new hardware, energy savings and cost reduction through continuous optimization, and more stable product quality under fluctuating conditions.
At the Bürkert Trade Press Days we spoke with Georg Stawowy, CEO of Bürkert Fluid Control Systems about the concept of a regenerative economy.
From fertilizer to energy source of the future
Use of different remote measuring probes and decentralized system integration allow flexible monitoring solutions
In the process of transforming our economy and society towards greater sustainability and climate neutrality, green chemistry can make a decisive contribution. Fraunhofer scientists are playing a key role in supporting industry with practical solutions. At ACHEMA, the world's leading trade fair for the international process industry, 10-14 June, they will present a selection of their current projects and research results at Fraunhofer Stand D49 in Hall 6.0.
Reduction of capital and operating costs in offshore systems above and below water
Industry-optimised drive concepts with low weight and compact dimensions
Food and packaging machinery pose special challenges for drive and automation solutions. Functional safety concepts are of particular importance to overcome these challenges.
Mechanical bearings and gearboxes — like those used in electric vehicles and wind farms — are often treated with lubricants to avoid friction and wear. The voltage the components might be under impairs the effectiveness of the lubricants to such a degree that the tribological contacts are damaged. As part of the Lube.Life joint research project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM have developed a virtual lubricant lab, which can be used to predict the effects of electrical fields on lubricant stability.
Ammonia could play a decisive role in the transition from fossil fuels to climate-friendly alternatives if produced from green hydrogen. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM are developing ammonia-based systems for a mobile, decentralized energy supply in the infrastructure, transportation and industry sectors.

Intelligent communication for decentral automation of hygienic processes
Today’s Industrial Ethernet connects any standard ethernet-based protocols. It flexibly integrates devices based on open and vendor-specific (safety) protocols.
Robust sensor for measurements in small to medium-sized tanks
For retrofitting of ball and butterfly valves
Safety block modules control safety applications directly from the field and thus simplify modular machinery
Components certified according to the high safety standards of DIN VDE V 0825
Creating a new hygienic production facility that includes ATEX zone 1 areas is a complex task, especially when the facility will need over 1,400 control valves.
The one of the biggest challenges in digitalization is the transformation of existing plants and processes. A WIKA project northern Germany proves that mechanical measuring instruments can also be integrated into the digital world.
Clean and ultra cleanrooms are required for special production methods – especially in medicine and pharmaceutical technology, since particles in ordinary ambient air would have an adverse effect.
Collaboration on product innovation: sensor, actuator and control in one process node
Tough outdoor enclosures simplify advanced remote I/O plant control architectures
