Latest Bürkert Fluid Control Systems Press Releases

7th April 2026

Flow control specialist Bürkert has released a new pressure-relief valve that protects sensitive components in fluidic systems against high pressure peaks, and also provides media separation for use with aggressive or sensitive liquids. Designed for analysis, biotech, and laboratory applications, Bürkert’s new Type 5550 valve enables full liquid isolation, keeping fluids free from contamination and preventing loss of expensive substances.

In 2022, more than 30,000 people in the UK were undergoing kidney dialysis. For every one of those patients, water quality is not a background consideration but a frontline safety issue. Dialysis machines rely on large volumes of treated water, and any trace contaminants that remain can pass directly into the bloodstream. Among the most critical of these contaminants is chlorine.

Sustainability is about much more than just reducing carbon emissions. It also entails a sense of responsibility for social and environmental matters, something that has always been important to the fluidics experts at Bürkert. However, the family-run business believes that previous approaches in this area have not gone far enough in tackling global climate change. Instead, it is taking a more holistic view that is using the regenerative economy concept as an umbrella covering all the actions it is undertaking.
