FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Valves for the Food & Beverage Industry
What are the most commonly used valves in the food industry?
The most common are butterfly valves, ball valves, and check valves, all designed for maximum hygiene and easy disassembly. Aseptic valves are essential in sterile processes.
What is the difference between a hygienic valve and a standard industrial valve?
Hygienic valves are constructed from materials certified for food contact (such as 316L stainless steel), have polished internal surfaces and first crevices and undercuts that prevent contamination, unlike standard industrial valves.
Are food valves compatible with CIP/SIP systems?
Yes. Our valves are CIP-ready and SIP-compatible, meaning they can be automatically sanitized and sterilized without disassembly, ensuring efficient and safe production.
What certifications must food grade valves have?
They must comply with regulations such as FDA, EHEDG, 3-A Sanitary Standards, and in some cases ATEX for potentially explosive environments. All our products are certified for use in the food and beverage industry.
In which sectors can these valves be installed?
They are ideal for the dairy industry, oil mills, breweries, wineries, juice and soft drink plants, food processing companies and baby food manufacturers.
What maintenance is required for sanitary valves?
Maintenance is quick and easy: the valves are designed for easy access to internal components. Many can be removed without tools, making cleaning quicker and reducing system downtime.
Is it possible to customize the valves according to the system?
Absolutely. We offer custom configurations, with various connections (clamp, threaded, weldable) and manual or automatic actuators. Our technical team is available for personalized consultations.
