Sanitary Ball Valves
SPC’s sanitary ball valves are engineered with full-bore design, polished internal surfaces, and robust sealing to meet stringent sanitary standards. Complementing flow isolation needs in sanitary processes, products such as the Ball check Valve helps to prevent backflow while maintaining process integrity, hygiene, and operational efficiency in critical applications.
How Sanitary Ball Valves Works?
Sanitary ball valves work on a simple yet highly efficient quarter-turn operating principle, where a precision-machined spherical ball with a full-bore opening control the flow of media. When the valve handle or actuator is rotated 90 degrees, the ball aligns with the pipeline to allow unrestricted flow, and rotates perpendicular to stop it completely.
The full-bore design ensures minimal pressure drop and smooth product transfer, while hygienic sealing materials such as PTFE or elastomers provide leak-tight shutoff. Polished internal surfaces prevent product buildup, making sanitary ball valves ideal for clean, repeatable operation in hygienic and aseptic processing environments.
Key Applications of Sanitary Ball Valves
Sanitary ball valves are widely used in systems requiring strict hygiene and easy maintenance.
-
Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) processes
-
Hygienic transfer of liquids, slurries, and viscous media
-
Tank outlets, process lines, and equipment isolation
Their compact design and reliability make them ideal for critical flow control points.
