What is a Sanitary Valve?

Sanitary Valves play an important part in maintaining the high levels of hygiene required in the Food & Beverage, Cosmetics and Pharmaceutical industries. To ensure compliance with these stringent standards, Sanitary Valves are designed to deliver sterile performance, ensuring the purity of the media flowing through them. To eliminate the risk of bacterial growth, all media-contact components are meticulously electropolished, removing micro-indentations where bacteria could potentially thrive.

Advantages of Sanitary Valves

All Tapflo Sanitary Valves are renowned for their durability and corrosion resistance properties. Some key benefits of using Sanitary Valves are:
  • Robust construction from forged Stainless Steel AISI 304/316L
  • Complete traceability of valves, even with 304 construction
  • 3A and FDA-certified
  • USP VI Class elastomers
  • Manual handle or pneumatic actuator options
  • Seat lifting functionality and separate spraying of leakage chamber ensures thorough and reliable cleaning
  • Assists in safe media separation in hygienic applications
  • Mixproof technology
  • Manual or automatic operation options available
  • Supports CIP/SIP processes

Common Industries & Applications

  • Food & Beverage
  • Dairy
  • Wine & Beer
  • Cosmetics
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Sanitary Applications

What Are Your Fluid & Media Transfer Characteristics?

To choose the appropriate Sanitary Valve for your application, ask yourself the following questions:
  • What media will be pumped? Consider the chemical composition of the media you will be pumping – is it chemically neutral or corrosive, shear sensitive etc.
  • What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc.
  • Do you need to pump fluids containing solids?
  • Is your environment or fluid explosive?
  • Do you require self-priming?
  • Do you require CIP/SIP?

Sealing Materials Available

  • EPDM
  • HNB
  • FPM
  • VMQ
  • PTFE
  • Stainless Steel AISI 316L or 304L
Some of our materials offer an ATEX option on request for explosive applications and environments.

Maintenance Required to Keep your Sanitary Valves Running

  • Ensure all key components, such as the Valve Body, Actuator, Valve Disc/Plug, Stem, Seat, Seals and Gaskets, End Connections and Bonnet are all in optimal working condition to avoid the potential failure of your Sanitary Valve
Depending on the size of your pump and the fluid you are pumping, a more detailed maintenance schedule may be required.
