Bürkert, a family-owned company from Ingelfingen in Germany's Baden-Württemberg region, has been one of the world’s leading fluid technology specialists for over 70 years. As a partner to industry, it is committed to creative solutions and supplies its customers with made-to-measure systems. Its portfolio encompasses everything from research & development and an extensive product range for all areas of fluid technology to consulting, engineering, startup and maintenance. As longstanding exhibitors at HANNOVER MESSE, the fluid experts from Bürkert are naturally keen once again in 2017 to demonstrate their mastery in this area and are using a futuristic competence machine to do so.

With this special machine, Bürkert is looking to bring to life the complex process of developing high-quality components for the instrumentation and control of gases and fluids while also providing a vehicle for creative dialog. The abstractly presented engineering in the competence machine combines various basic principles of physics and illustrates the expertise and creativity of Bürkert's experts in finding the right solutions for unusual applications. The competence machine visualizes fluid technology scenarios and makes reference to the company’s application-related sectors - Water, Gas, Hygienic and Micro. Within these four sectors, a variety of applications are brought together and solutions are then developed based on the various basic principles.
