Sanitary valves are hygienic flow control valves designed for applications requiring cleanability, smooth internal surfaces, and high hygiene standards, widely used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Beyond Fluid manufactures SS316L sanitary valves with polished finishes and sanitary connections for hygienic processing systems.
Material: SS316L | Connection: Tri-Clamp / Weld | Surface Finish: Ra ≤ 0.8 μm
Sanitary valves, also known as hygienic valves, are designed for fluid handling applications where cleanliness, hygiene, and contamination prevention are critical.
Unlike standard industrial valves, sanitary valves feature smooth internal surfaces, full drainage design, and stainless steel construction to prevent product residue and bacterial growth.
They are commonly manufactured from SS316L stainless steel and are suitable for CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) processes, making them widely used in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.
Key Hygienic Features
Sanitary valves are available in different designs to meet specific hygienic processing requirements, depending on media, cleaning method, and flow control needs.
Sanitary ball valves provide reliable on/off control with a smooth internal flow path. They are commonly used in food, beverage, and dairy processing systems where hygienic shut-off and easy cleaning are required.
Sanitary butterfly valves feature a compact and lightweight design, making them ideal for large-diameter pipelines and hygienic processing systems that require frequent operation and reliable flow control.
Sanitary diaphragm valves offer superior hygienic performance by isolating the process media from the valve mechanism. They are widely used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
Sanitary check valves are designed to prevent backflow in hygienic piping systems, helping maintain process safety and product integrity during fluid transfer.
Sanitary sample valves allow safe and hygienic sampling of process media without contamination, supporting quality control in food and pharmaceutical processing.
A wide range of additional sanitary valves and accessories is available to support customized hygienic processing systems and specific application needs.

Sanitary valves are available with different connection types to ensure hygienic installation, easy maintenance, and compatibility with processing systems.
Sanitary tri-clamp connections are the most commonly used connection type in hygienic processing systems due to their flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Sanitary butt weld connections provide a permanent and highly hygienic joint, suitable for demanding sanitary and high-purity applications.
Threaded connections are available for specific sanitary applications where simple installation and compatibility are required.
All sanitary valves are manufactured in compliance with internationally recognized hygienic and quality standards to ensure safety, reliability, and regulatory approval.
3A Sanitary Standards are widely recognized in the food and dairy industries, focusing on hygienic equipment design and cleanability.
FDA compliance ensures that materials used in sanitary valves are safe for contact with food, beverages, and pharmaceutical products.
CE and ISO 9001 certifications demonstrate compliance with European regulations and quality management systems.
Choosing the right sanitary valve depends on process requirements, hygiene level, and operating conditions. The following guidelines help ensure proper valve selection for hygienic processing systems.
Different sanitary valve designs are suited for different hygienic applications and process requirements.
Recommendation: Use ball valves for general applications, butterfly valves for large pipelines, and diaphragm valves for pharmaceutical or high-purity processes.
Connection type affects cleanability, maintenance, and installation flexibility in sanitary systems.
Recommendation: Choose tri-clamp for flexibility and maintenance; select butt weld for maximum hygiene and permanent installations.
Surface finish plays a critical role in preventing product residue and bacterial growth in sanitary processing.
Recommendation: Select the surface roughness based on hygiene level and regulatory requirements.
Seal materials must be compatible with process media, temperature, and cleaning methods.
Recommendation: Confirm seal material compatibility with both product media and CIP/SIP procedures.
The operation method impacts automation level and process efficiency.
Recommendation: Choose pneumatic operation for automated or high-frequency processes.
