Sanitary valves refer to valve fittings used in places with high requirements for hygiene levels in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The following is a detailed introduction to sanitary valves:


Sanitary valves: key guarantee for the pharmaceutical and food industries


1.Main features

1. Material: Commonly used materials are 304 and 316L stainless steel materials. These materials have excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, which can meet the material requirements of sanitary valves.

2. Seals: They have strong acid, alkali and high temperature resistance, small permanent compression deformation, and ensure the sealing performance of the valve.

3. Connection method: Sanitary valves have various connection methods, including welding, quick-installation and threaded types, which are convenient for flexible use in different occasions.

4. Surface treatment: The product is treated with high-end polishing equipment inside and outside to meet the surface precision requirements and meet the hygiene standards.

2.Technical parameters

1. Working pressure: Usually 1.0Mpa, which can meet the pressure requirements of most pharmaceutical and food industries.

2. Working temperature: within the range of -10℃ to +150℃, suitable for working environments under various temperature conditions.

3. Accuracy: strictly in accordance with 3A, DIN, SMS, BS and other product tolerance standards to ensure the manufacturing accuracy and performance stability of the valve.

3.Types and uses

There are many types of sanitary valves, including but not limited to the following:

1. Stainless steel sanitary butterfly valve: used to control the flow of fluid, with simple structure and convenient operation.

2. Stainless steel sanitary diaphragm valve: controls the on and off of the fluid through the up and down movement of the diaphragm, with corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.

3. Stainless steel sanitary ball valve: used to cut off or connect the medium flow in the pipeline, with good sealing performance and easy operation.

4. Stainless steel sanitary check valve: used to prevent medium backflow and protect the normal operation of equipment and systems.

5. In addition, there are three-piece butterfly valves, quick-install butterfly valves, round screw butterfly valves, pneumatic butterfly valves, sanitary pneumatic diaphragm valves, stainless steel sanitary U-tube diaphragm valves, dairy ball valves, no dead angle with ball valves, sanitary clamp ball valves, sanitary three-way plug valves, sanitary manual stop valves, T-shaped stop valves, sampling valves, sanitary regulating valves and other types of sanitary valves, which are widely used in the production process of pharmaceutical, food, chemical and other industries.

Conclusion

In summary, sanitary valves play an important role in the pharmaceutical, food and other industries. Choosing high-quality sanitary valves is of great significance to ensure the sanitation and safety of the production process and product quality.
