What are the characteristics of sanitary ball valves
Nov 28, 2023| Sanitary valves are products with special standards in terms of hygiene. It is made of SUS304 and 316L, and then processed using high-end polishing equipment to achieve surface precision requirements. It can meet the special requirements of various media in the food industry and biopharmaceutical fields. Therefore, sanitary ball valves can achieve strong acid resistance and high temperature resistance, and can be used in food processing or other industries with higher hygiene requirements.
The characteristics of sanitary ball valves are as follows:
1. The valve body material can only be made of 304ss304L or 316316L stainless steel, while industrial ball valves can be made of cast iron, cast steel, ductile iron, stainless steel and other materials.
2. The connection method generally adopts clamp quick installation and thread; the connection methods of industrial ball valves include flange, thread, quick installation, welding, etc.
3. The appearance is electronically polished to the standard of sanitary ball valves to achieve a smooth surface and ensure cleanliness. There is no media accumulation area and no potential pollution.
4. Simple structure, small size and light weight.
5. It is easy to maintain. The ball valve has a simple structure and the sealing rings are generally movable, making it easy to disassemble and replace.
6. Easy to operate, quick to open and close, only need to rotate 90° from fully open to fully closed.
7. The fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to that of a pipe section of the same length.
8. It has a wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, and can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.
9. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surfaces of the ball and valve seat are isolated from the medium. When the medium passes, it will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface.
10. It is easy to maintain. The ball valve has a simple structure and the sealing rings are generally movable, making it easy to disassemble and replace.
Sanitary valves include sanitary ball valves, sanitary butterfly valves, sanitary pneumatic diaphragm valves, three-piece butterfly valves, quick-installed butterfly valves, sanitary U-tube diaphragm valves, dairy ball valves, sanitary check valves, etc. Depending on the type of project used. It is impossible to use ordinary industrial ball valves in fields with extremely high standards of hygiene such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. The materials of ordinary industrial ball valves, such as cast iron or cast copper, will rust over time and cause pollution. . There is no way to use ordinary ball valves in these industries that have direct contact with the human body and food.
