Burkert, BBS develop new process application

Burkert and BBS said QuickCONNECT offers short sterilisation times, lower water consumption and higher product yields leading to improved process returns.

The BBS Sterile QuickCONNECT System employs standard dimension norm o-rings which fit neatly into precision machined grooves on the ferrules and minimise potential bacterial traps; the sealing between components is the same whether it is for clamped, threaded or flanged styles.

The partnership of the two companies provides the optimum in process optimisation, with Burkert linking all parts of the production process via electrical signals, while BBS connects all the parts mechanically, with sterile weld unions, quick connectors, flanges, fittings, hoses, and pipes.
