What is the difference between sanitary ball valves and ordinary ball valves?

Jul 19, 2024

Sanitary ball valve is the use of stainless steel 304SS or 316 material, standard electronic polishing, smooth surface to ensure clean, no media accumulation area will not produce potential contamination, can meet the food, biopharmaceutical field of a variety of media special requirements.
Sanitary valve its smooth, seamless, automatic evacuation of the craft fluid channel is also very suitable for steam tread it in situ cleaning needs, sanitary valve connection can be selected according to the engineering profile of the threaded, flanged, welded, clamp, ferrule and other forms.

The difference between sanitary ball valves and ordinary ball valves:
1, the valve body material sanitary ball valves can only be used 304SS, 304L or 316, 316L stainless steel, production and processing is completed after special treatment, and industrial valves can be used in the material has cast iron, cast steel, ductile iron, stainless steel, material is more extensive. Because the use of sanitary valves are very high requirements for the use of sanitary environment of pharmaceuticals, food, daily chemical industry, these products are consumed or directly in contact with the human body, so the production of some of the machinery will be required to have a high level of hygiene conditions. And ordinary valve materials such as steel, iron, copper and other materials can not meet, first of all, steel and iron, these materials as a valve, in the liquid or air with high humidity will corrode and rust, thereby contaminating the product. Copper valves are the same, and copper rust or toxic substances, so it can not be used as a sanitary valve.


2, the appearance of sanitary ball valve standard electronic polishing, smooth surface to ensure clean, no media accumulation area, will not produce potential pollution: industrial valves are generally based on the use of the need to develop models, mainly in the high temperature and high pressure working environment, long service life and flexible mode of operation, the appearance and the interior is not sanitary valves smooth and beautiful, but in many places are sanitary can not be replaced.


3, connection sanitary ball valves are generally used clamp quick release, threaded connection; and industrial valves are connected to the flange, threaded, quick release, welding and so on.
We can often see, sanitary ball valves in the pharmaceutical, food and other health requirements of the industry is widely used. Because these industries have high requirements for sanitary fixtures, the use of its valve fittings are also very high requirements. Sanitary ball valves used in which places? Sanitary ball valves are generally used in pharmaceutical and food equipment systems. Some people ask, sanitary ball valves and ordinary ball valves what is the difference? In fact, we only need to look at the above article can be understood, the biggest difference lies in its own performance.
