What Are Sanitary Valves?

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

  • ✓ Smooth, fully drainable hygienic design
  • ✓ SS316L stainless steel, fully traceable
  • ✓ Polished surface finish up to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm
  • ✓ Designed for CIP & SIP processes
  • ✓ Sanitary connections: Tri-Clamp / Butt Weld
  • ✓ Compliant with 3A, FDA and CE standards

Types of Sanitary Valves

Sanitary valves are available in different designs to meet specific hygienic processing requirements, depending on media, cleaning method, and flow control needs.

How to Choose the Right Sanitary Valve?

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.

Ball vs Butterfly vs Diaphragm Valves

Different sanitary valve designs are suited for different hygienic applications and process requirements.

  • Sanitary ball valves are ideal for reliable on/off control and general hygienic processing lines.
  • Sanitary butterfly valves are suitable for large-diameter pipelines where frequent operation and compact design are required.
  • Sanitary diaphragm valves provide the highest level of hygiene by isolating the process media from the valve mechanism.

Recommendation: Use ball valves for general applications, butterfly valves for large pipelines, and diaphragm valves for pharmaceutical or high-purity processes.

Tri-Clamp vs Butt Weld Connections

Connection type affects cleanability, maintenance, and installation flexibility in sanitary systems.

  • Tri-clamp connections allow quick disassembly and are ideal for systems requiring frequent cleaning and inspection.
  • Butt weld connections provide permanent, crevice-free joints for high-purity and fixed installations.

Recommendation: Choose tri-clamp for flexibility and maintenance; select butt weld for maximum hygiene and permanent installations.

Tri-Clamp vs Butt Weld
Surface Finish For Sanitary Valve

Surface Finish Selection

Surface finish plays a critical role in preventing product residue and bacterial growth in sanitary processing.

  • Ra ≤ 0.8 μm is suitable for most food and beverage applications.
  • Ra ≤ 0.4 μm is recommended for pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes.

Recommendation: Select the surface roughness based on hygiene level and regulatory requirements.

Seal Material Selection

Seal materials must be compatible with process media, temperature, and cleaning methods.

  • EPDM – widely used for food and beverage processing.
  • Silicone – suitable for high-temperature applications.
  • PTFE – excellent chemical resistance for aggressive media.

Recommendation: Confirm seal material compatibility with both product media and CIP/SIP procedures.

Manual vs Pneumatic Operation

The operation method impacts automation level and process efficiency.

  • Manual valves are suitable for simple systems with infrequent operation.
  • Pneumatic valves support automated control and integration with process systems.

Recommendation: Choose pneumatic operation for automated or high-frequency processes.
