Universal valve control head saves costs

Burkert’s new Type 8681 universal control head can be fitted to third-party hygienic valves: single seat valves, double seat, mix proof, and also quarter turn ball and butterfly valves that have linear stainless steel actuators. The 8681 comes complete with communication networks such as ASi and DeviceNet, and is enclosed in a robust polycarbonate and polyamide housing that is IP65 and IP67 rated, enabling it to be washed down and cleaned safely.
