Stainless valves for pharmaceutical and food lines
Process lines must resist cleaning chemicals, stay easy to clean and keep the product free from contamination. Stainless steel with the right seals is the starting point.
- Pressure
- Low to medium
- Temperature
- CIP / SIP cycles
- Media
- Product, purified water, cleaning agents
- Critical need
- No contamination
What makes this service hard
The conditions that decide which valve, material and seal will last.
Cleaning chemicals
Caustic and acid cleaning cycles attack the wrong seal material. We match seats and seals to your cleaning regime.
Automation
Pneumatic actuated valves give repeatable, hygienic operation in automated batch lines.
Accurate readings
Diaphragm-seal gauges keep product away from the gauge internals.
