Bürkert UK £1 million ex-stock expansion

17 April, 2019

Having submitted the quote, the electrical department from the same customer subsequently contacted Bürkert looking for a number of ATEX pneumatic control panels. Further discussions about where the panels would be used revealed that they were for the same project as the ball valves.

Due to the nature of the working environment, the electricians did not want to run two armoured cables to the valve, one for the pilot valve on the side of the actuator and another for the switch box. The aim was to use the additional control panels to reduce the amount of cabling going to the valves.

The Bürkert engineers then explained that the ball valves that had been already quoted for the project included an integral switch box with the pilot valve inside it, so only one multi-core cable would be required. As a result, the additional control panels would not be required, saving the customer approximately £80,000.
