From individual components to complete solutions – including service

Pharmaceutical and biotech processes are highly sensitive: every batch must be reproducible, every cleaning procedure must be fully documented and every component must meet the strictest standards of hygiene. Bürkert is the right choice in every one of these areas. For decades, we have been working on an international scale to develop fluid control solutions that set the pace in even the most demanding plants. Our experts ensure that projects run to plan and are reliable, and are happy to assist you with any fluid technology challenge.

The Bürkert product portfolio spans the entire spectrum of valve technology and covers all purity levels – from components for secondary processes to diaphragm valves for areas with the very strictest hygiene requirements. We also take care of linking the field level to the control level. To ensure that these components ultimately form a system that operates reliably, we will support you from the initial sketch right through to ongoing operation if required.

Reliable solutions thanks to robust validation processes

In the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, compliance with regulatory standards is a fundamental requirement for every project. To reduce your time to market, we integrate the certification process directly into our development. Our solutions meet even the most stringent requirements and are tested in-house under real-world conditions – ensuring components you can rely on in continuous operation.

The perfect process solution for your application

Bürkert offers the right solution for the entire value chain in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. We ensure reliable production of pharmaceutical products through all critical phases – from the sensitive upstream process in bioreactors to precise downstream purification (chromatography, filtration), all the way through to aseptic filling into a wide variety of containers.

Beyond traditional pharmaceuticals, manufacturers worldwide also rely on our long-standing expertise when it comes to producing sophisticated consumer health products  such as creams or contact lenses.

Digitisation solutions from Bürkert

The digital transformation holds one of the keys to the future of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries – from plant design to commissioning and ongoing operation. Bürkert is here to support you as your trusted partner, offering practical, ready-to-use solutions – and laying the foundations for more efficient processes, shorter development cycles and reliable data covering the entire plant life cycle.

Asset Administration Shell for the digital twin

Through the AAS, we provide all relevant product information as a standardised, machine-readable format in a single package. This administration shell forms the basis for the digital twin and makes relevant data, such as specifications and certificates, available centrally. 

Integration files for process control systems

Appropriate device and integration files ensure that our field devices can be integrated quickly and reliably into standard process control systems, ensuring seamless integration into your automation environment. 

3D CAD data for efficient plant design

Complete 3D CAD models of all relevant components are available directly in the online portal. Planners and design engineers incorporate these directly into their plant design, speeding up the engineering process and preventing integration errors.
