Sanitary Dispensing Valve for Food and Pharmaceutical Processing with Easy-Clean

Product Specification

Sanitary Dispensing Valve for Food and Pharmaceutical Processing with Easy-Clean Design and CIP Capability

Product Description:

Meet the highest standards of hygiene with our 20mm metered valve, specifically engineered for sanitary applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. This sanitary dispensing valve features a polished internal surface with a Ra value of less than 0.8 µm, creating a ultra-smooth finish that prevents bacterial harborage and facilitates effortless cleaning. Its design is optimized for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) processes, allowing for thorough sterilization without the need for disassembly. The precision metering mechanism is fully enclosed and constructed from certified stainless steel, ensuring that every dose of sauce, syrup, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), or cosmetic cream is delivered with absolute accuracy and purity. This valve is an essential component for any processing line where product integrity, contamination control, and compliance with strict health regulations are paramount. It provides reliable process control while upholding the most demanding sanitary protocols.

Bullet Points:

• Designed with a hygienic, polished interior and exterior for easy cleaning and sanitation.

• Supports full CIP/SIP processes, making this sanitary dispensing valve ideal for sterile environments.

• Delivers precise and consistent volumetric dosing for viscous food and pharmaceutical products.

• Constructed from 316L stainless steel with EP seals to meet global food and pharmaceutical standards.

• The sanitary design ensures full drainage with no fluid entrapment zones.

Specific Application Scenario
Used on a dairy processing line to dispense a precise amount of fruit puree or flavoring into individual yogurt cups. The valve's sanitary design prevents microbial growth and allows for frequent, automated cleaning cycles.

Factory Production Floor
Manufactured in a certified cleanroom. Every component is meticulously polished and undergoes multiple quality checks. The final assembly and testing are performed by technicians in full sanitary garb to prevent any contamination.

Packing and Transportation
Each valve is individually bagged in a sterile pouch. The bags are then packed in double-walled, plastic-wrapped boxes to prevent any moisture ingress during shipping, ensuring a pristine product upon arrival.

FAQ

• What certifications does this sanitary dispensing valve hold?

  • Our valves are manufactured in compliance with 3-A Sanitary Standards and are EHEDG certified.

• What is the surface finish (Ra) of the internal components?

  • The wetted parts have a mechanical polish to a Ra ≤ 0.8 µm, and an electropolish (EP) finish is available for enhanced performance.

• How does the design facilitate process control in a sanitary system?

  • The consistent and repeatable dosing ensures recipe accuracy, while the CIP capability allows for automated cleaning without interrupting process control schedules.

• Can the valve handle particulate-laden fluids?

  • Yes, the smooth flow path and lack of dead zones make it suitable for fluids with small particulates, like jams or suspensions.

• Are the seals compatible with high-temperature SIP cycles?

  • Yes, we use high-temperature EPDM or Silicone seals that are designed to withstand repeated SIP cycles up to 140°C.
