Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage production requires strict hygienic conditions to prevent any microbial contamination througout the production facility. These valves are regulated by national and international regulatory standards from various independent organizations such as FDA. These valves are manufactured very carefully to avoid entrapment of food and products particles allowing microorganisms to accumulate. The materials used in valves should be inert or non-reactive to both the product and cleaning substances. Moreover, the valves must also be corrosion-resistant and nontoxic. Generally, stainless steel is ideal for manufacturing direct contact valves for the food and beverage industry.
