Control valves for the food processing industry

Control valves designed for aseptic applications in food processing, often just called food or aseptic valves, feature a cavity-free body design that eliminates potential areas of bacteria growth

Control valves designed for aseptic applications in the food processing industry, often just called food or aseptic valves, feature a cavity-free body design that eliminates potential areas of bacteria growth.

Normally, angle valves are used as aseptic valves because they are self-draining and can be cleaned (CIP) or sterilized (SIP) without the need to remove them from the plant.

In addition, the use of polished stainless steel parts, as in Samson Type 3347 Valve ensures the highest purity level of the process medium.

A special PTFE bushing and an additional steam line connection that is used to meet very stringent purity requirements prevent bacteria from spreading at the actuator stem guide.

The Samson Type 3249 Valve is equipped with an EPDM diaphragm and a backup safety packing to ensure total protection against bacteria spreading and product leakage.

These sealing systems constitute the main components of the valve construction; they have been thoroughly developed and designed to ensure a long service life.

Type 3345 Valves feature a diaphragm made of rubber, nitrile, butyl or PTFE that acts both as a seal and a valve plug.

The cavity-free valve body is therefore ideally suited for fibrous and highly viscous products.

And it may be lined with rubber or PTFE.
