Sharp Sanitary Ball Valves: These ball valves are robust and designed for high-performance sanitary applications. Their sharp design ensures a secure seal, making them ideal for industries requiring clean and efficient flow control.
Sanitary Valves | Highly Polished Full Port | Valworx. Sanitary valves must meet specific health & safety standards for food, beverage, medical, and pharmaceutical industries where it is critical to maintain the purity of the consumable product. Unlike other valve-types, sanitary valves must endure frequent assembly, reassembly, and installation which will allow the valve to be cleaned to the microbial level. In particular, sanitary valves are designed to mitigate risk from biological, chemical and physical hazards. Biological hazards include microbial pathogens such e coli and listeria, as well as parasites and spoilage organisms. Chemical hazards include toxic substances such as lead or arsenic, and physical hazards can come from unintended introduction of metal or glass and other harmful substances.
To meet these requirements, the materials and finishes for sanitary valves are typically 304 or 316 stainless steel, a non-toxic metal that is polished to a clean, smooth surface that is resistant to degradation and corrosion.
