Sanitary valve options
Apr 24, 2024| Sanitary valves are used in some factories or manufacturers that have relatively high hygiene requirements, such as food, pharmaceutical and other enterprises. Usually sanitary valves are made of stainless steel, such as SS304, SS316. Sanitary valves refer to valves whose body is made of stainless steel that meets sanitary standards. The polishing degree and cleanliness must meet sanitary standards. The valves are composed of accessories that meet sanitary standards. They are mainly used in food, beer, beverages, and biopharmaceuticals. industry piping systems.
We can choose different types of sanitary valves according to different purpose requirements.
1. When food, beverage and biopharmaceutical pipelines need to observe the flow and flow rate of the medium in the pipeline at any time, you must choose sanitary-grade straight-through sight glasses and sanitary-grade quick-install sight glasses.
2. At a certain position in the pipeline, in order to cut off or adjust the flow and switch of the medium, you can choose sanitary butterfly valves, sanitary ball valves, and sanitary diaphragm valves. Generally, in sanitary occasions, in order to prevent installation-related Contamination, the most commonly used connection methods are clamp quick-fit and thread.
3. When remote control is required in food, beverage, and biopharmaceutical system pipelines, automatic control needs to be used. Generally, pneumatic control is used, including sanitary pneumatic butterfly valves, sanitary pneumatic ball valves, and sanitary pneumatic diaphragm valves.
4. When it is necessary to prevent the backflow of beer, beverage, and biopharmaceutical media, sanitary flange check valves, quick-installation check valves, and threaded check valves should be used.
5. In some food sanitary-grade pipelines, it is sometimes necessary for media to be exchanged in two-way pipelines. At this time, sanitary-grade three-way ball valves are used.
6. In sanitary-grade storage tanks or pipeline systems, sometimes the pressure is unstable, and a device is needed that can automatically relieve pressure when overpressure occurs and promptly protect the safe and normal operation of other equipment. A sanitary-grade safety valve is used.
