VARIVENT® vacuum valves are designed to hygienically protect tanks against vacuums. A protection is already ensured when a vacuum surpasses -2.5 mbarÜ. To minimize the cleaning effort and to protect the valve disc against conglutination, the seat ring is non-stick coated.
Hygienic steam inlet valves are used for the monitored supply of steam in containers or tanks.
Back-pressure valves of the Aseptomag® valve line are characterized by their uncompromising stainless steel bellow design.
Overflow Valves Type Q series VARIVENT® are generally used as pressure relief valves in pipelines.
The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world.
