Hygienic Valve Manifold

Optimise your process control with our advanced Hygienic Valve Manifold, a modular, automated solution designed to streamline operations across hygiene-sensitive industries. Built with precision and flexibility in mind, our Hygienic Valve Manifold integrates seamlessly into your system, offering enhanced safety, faster commissioning, and unmatched efficiency. Whether you're managing cleaning cycles, product transfer, or contamination-sensitive operations, our prefabricated valve manifold reduces complexity and accelerates uptime.

Typical Applications for our Hygienic Valve Manifold include:

  • Food & Beverage: Dairy, juice, beer, wine, carbonated beverages
  • Pharmaceutical & Biotech: Cleanroom processing, API production
  • Chemical & Cosmetics: Fine chemicals, personal care, fragrance blending
  • Tank Farms & Multi-Line Systems: Safe and flexible product transfer or CIP segregation
Overview

Mounted onto a Stainless Steel frame, our Hygienic Valve Manifolds centralise the control of product and CIP flow in Food, Beverage, Chemical, Cosmetics, and Pharmaceutical plants. Compatible with our core valve lineup, including Butterfly Valves, Mixproof Valves, Sampling and Tank Valves, these manifolds replace traditional flow panels and hoses with a compact, automated, and sanitary solution. Each unit is custom-configured to your process requirements and rigorously tested before dispatch.

Design Features & Benefits

Our Hygienic Valve Manifolds are designed for precision, safety and efficiency, offering a compact and modular solution that enhances system control and hygiene in demanding process environments:

Valve Compatibility:

Compatible with our core range of process valves, including:

  • Butterfly Valves
  • Single Seat Valves
  • Double Seat Mixproof Valves
  • Single Seat Double Seal Mixproof Valves
  • Butterfly Mixproof Valves
  • Sanitary Ball Valves
  • Pressure Relief Valves
  • Sampling Valves
  • Tank Valves
  • Check Valves

Modular Skid-Based Design:

  • Built on a Stainless Steel (AISI 304) frame with adjustable legs for easy installation and levelling
  • Preassembled and factory-tested to minimise commissioning time and costs
  • Under-manifold inclined drain tray captures product or cleaning fluid

Sanitary Valve Matrix:

  • Configurable matrix of pneumatically actuated valves, tailored to your specific process (filling, emptying, CIP, etc.)
  • Fully automated so that no manual operation is required
  • Compatible with our complete valve lineup

Integrated Control & Automation:

  • Each valve is fitted with C-TOP control unit (solenoids and sensors)
  • Air distributor collector with shut-off valves per actuator included
  • Full pneumatic and electric distribution system pre-installed on the skid
  • Optional AS-i fieldbus connectivity or centralised PLC control with HMI interface

High-Quality Materials for Hygienic Environments:

  • Product Contact Parts: AISI 316L Stainless Steel, with orbital welding where required
  • Non-Contact Parts: AISI 304 Stainless Steel frame, actuators, drain tray and control panel)
  • Seals & Gaskets: EPDM as standard (Viton and NBR available as options)
  • All welds are inert gas protected, pickled, and passivated to ensure corrosion resistance and surface integrity

Process & Maintenance Efficiency:

  • Pre-tested, reducing startup risks and commissioning time
  • Supports simultaneous operations (tank CIP and product transfer as examples)
  • Modular, easy-to-maintain construction with readily accessible components
  • Reduces cleaning time, eliminates hose handling and improves plant safety
Operating Principle

Each Valve Manifold consists of a matrix of pneumatic valves connected to tanks or lines, enabling key functions such as:

  • Filling
  • Emptying
  • CIP (Clean in Place)
  • Product Routing

No manual intervention is required. The fully automated system is controlled via PLC or C-TOP boxes, enhancing consistency and safety.
