Sanitary valves are a type of valve designed for industries such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Their main feature is that they can meet the requirements of high hygiene standards. So what are the characteristics of sanitary valves?

The characteristics of sanitary valves are as follows:
Material selection:
Sanitary Valve is usually made of easy-to-clean and corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel (such as 304, 316) to prevent microbial growth and chemical contamination.
Surface treatment:
The surface is polished, mirror-finished or electro-polished to reduce the hiding places for bacteria and ensure that the surface is smooth and has no dead corners.
No dead corner design:
The internal structure of the valve is designed without dead corners, which is easy to clean and avoid pollutant residue.
Lead-free and no harmful substances:
Avoid using materials containing lead or other harmful substances to comply with food safety regulations and standards.
Standardized size:
Comply with or national standards such as DIN, ISO, etc., so as to facilitate compatibility with other sanitary piping systems.
Sealing performance:
Use sanitary gaskets, O-rings and other sealing materials to ensure good sealing performance and prevent leakage.
Certification:
Pass relevant health and safety certifications, such as FDA, EHEDG, 3A hygiene standards, etc., to prove its suitability for industries with strict hygiene requirements.
Easy to maintain:
Designed for easy disassembly and cleaning, easy for regular maintenance and replacement of parts.
Scope of application:
Applicable to industries such as food processing, beverage production lines, pharmaceutical production, and cosmetics manufacturing.
Operation mode:
It can be manually operated or automatically controlled, such as electric or pneumatic actuator drive.
When selecting sanitary valves, the requirements of the actual application scenario should be considered, such as the nature, pressure, flow rate, etc. of the working medium and whether specific hygiene standards and certification requirements need to be met.
