Descriptions:
diaphragm valve, manual or pneumatic operation, specifically used in the pharmaceutical industry, health and aseptic process, the valve is suitable for fluid control and on / off task.
The diaphragm valve design compared with the other, the valve has excellent flow characteristics. Easier to clean, very good deal with particles of the material, the flow control applications, cavitations is also less.
Work diaphragm valve seal and seat seal provides. There is no path leads to the external environment, so the valves for sterile processes. body and the relationship between the pressure plate to prevent the extrusion of the diaphragm.
The pneumatic diaphragm valve can operate manually, or by the controller and solenoid valve control.
Superior Hygiene and ComplianceThis valve is designed to meet strict hygiene standards, featuring a mirror-polished surface and zero dead leg construction. The seals and diaphragms are FDA and food-contact approved, supporting applications in the most stringent pharmaceutical and food processing environments.
Flexible Configuration and Easy IntegrationAvailable in multiple body materials, connection options, and operation modes (manual, pneumatic, electrical), the sanitary diaphragm valve seamlessly fits within diverse processing systems. Its compact design supports top-mounted and inline installation, making it suitable for both new and retrofit projects.
Optimized for CIP/SIP SterilizationThe valves robust construction and smooth internal finish make it fully compatible with Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Steam-in-Place (SIP) procedures. This ensures efficient system sterilization without disassembly, saving time and maintaining production integrity.
FAQs of Sanitary Diaphragm Valve:
Q: How does the polished Ra 0.4 m surface finish benefit process applications?
A: A mirror-polished Ra 0.4 m finish minimizes the risk of particle adhesion and biofilm formation, making cleaning easier and ensuring compliance with hygienic requirements in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processes.
Q: What diaphragm materials are available, and are they suitable for food contact?
A: The diaphragm valve is offered with EPDM, PTFE, and VITON diaphragms, all of which are approved for food contact applications. This provides safe operation in industries requiring strict sanitary controls.
Q: When should I use a manual, pneumatic, or electric operated diaphragm valve?
A: Manual operation suits low-frequency or simple systems, while pneumatic and electric actuators are ideal for automated processes needing frequent adjustments, remote control, or advanced process integration.
Q: Where can this sanitary diaphragm valve be installed within a facility?
A: These valves are suitable for use in main processing lines, inlets/outlets, or branch circuits in pharmaceutical, food, beverage, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical manufacturing plants. Mounting can be top-mounted or inline, depending on system design.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and sterilizing these valves in place?
A: The valve supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Steam-in-Place) processes, allowing automated cleaning and sterilization without dismantling. This ensures maximum hygiene and minimizes downtime.
Q: How does using this valve improve process safety and efficiency?
A: The zero dead leg design prevents fluid stagnation, while the hygienic seals and compact structure reduce contamination risks. These features enhance product yield, streamline cleaning processes, and maintain regulatory compliance.
