Sanitary valve solutions for food and beverage processing
Application Overview
Sanitary flow control for food and beverage production
Explore sanitary radial diaphragm, wafer butterfly, mixproof tank-bottom, and sampling valves for food and beverage processing. Select a platform for product transfer, isolation, tank-bottom control, or sampling, then confirm its materials, seals, and cleaning requirements.
For food-contact service, confirm the required material declarations, surface finish, cleanability, and hygiene documentation for the exact configuration. Industrial valves remain a separate product family for process and utility duties.

Ingredient & Product Transfer
Process duty
Transfer and isolation around preparation, blending, storage, and filling. Include viscosity, particulates, batch changeovers, and cleaning access in the selection brief.
Configuration review
Define food-contact requirements, surface finish, seal materials, and hygienic connection details before selecting a platform. Confirm cleanability and the documentation supplied with the exact valve or pump.
Cleaning & Chemical Preparation
Process duty
Cleaning-in-place supply and return circuits, and separate acid or alkali storage and dosing lines. Temperature, concentration, exposure time, and repeated cycling can differ substantially from normal production conditions.
Configuration review
Review sanitary diaphragm, butterfly, and mixproof configurations for product-contact cleaning circuits. Confirm cleaning compatibility and the required operating sequence. Separate bulk chemical storage or utility lines require their own industrial-service selection.
Process Water & Utility Circulation
Process duty
Cooling water, heating loops, and other plant support circuits. Separate these utilities from ingredient water and specify the applicable water quality and material requirements.
Configuration review
Review isolation valves, non-return valves, and circulation pumps against flow, differential pressure, temperature, water chemistry, and maintenance access. For check valves, include installation orientation and reverse-flow transients.
