Pharmaball Valve

Unique hygienic design, finish and materials. This check valve is suitable for all installation positions.
Ideal for fluids, steam and high viscosity products.
A truly hygienic solution, suitable for the most critical pharmaceutical applications.

  • Massima Sterilita :Only the shutter comes into contact with the product. No stagnation points, no springs or other intermediate components which could contaminate it. High-quality surface finishes and materials such as 1.4435 (AISI 316 LM ferrite <1%).
  • Safe closing :  ensured by patented magnetic principle
  • Any installation position possible :  it can be installed in horizontal, vertical up and down positions.
  • Energy saving :  its innovative working principle and design allow for a smooth flow, minimising pressure drop.
  • Laminar flow :  No turbulences
  • Maintenance free
  • Extra high chemical resistance and longer valve life : thanks particularly resistant materials such as 1.4435 (body and flange) and PVDF (shutter).
