YYF Industrial Valves: Full-Process Sanitary Fluid Control Solutions for Food & Beverage Industry

I. Core Valve Types for Food & Beverage: Tailored Solutions for Clean Production

1. Diaphragm Valves – Ultimate Protection for Clean Media

• Technical Advantages:
  • Dead-leg-free design complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 177 and NSF/ANSI 61, with residue ≤0.01ml to prevent cross-contamination;
  • Electron-microscope precision forming ensures diaphragm surface roughness ≤Ra0.2μm, minimizing microbial adhesion;
  • Pneumatic models respond in <0.3 seconds, with SIP compatibility up to 150℃ for emergency shutdown in aseptic filling lines.
• Applications: Dairy pasteurization lines, juice concentration units, brewery fermentation tanks—critical for high-purity media where metal ion contamination is prohibited.

2. Ball Valves – Quick-Acting Sanitary First Choice

• Technical Advantages:
  • Electropolished balls/seats (Ra≤0.8μm) reduce residue of sticky media like protein and sugar solutions by 50%;
  • Clamp-style connections enable 10-second quick disassembly for efficient CIP inspection;
  • Anti-static design eliminates electrostatic risks in flammable media like alcohol and essences.
• Applications: Beverage filler distribution valves, candy cooker inlets, edible oil deodorization units—ideal for fast-switching in DN15-DN100.

3. Butterfly Valves – Efficient Large-Diameter Flow Control for Clean Pipelines

• Technical Advantages:
  • R≥5mm radius transitions eliminate cleaning dead spots, compliant with EU 10/2011 food contact standards;
  • IP69K-rated electric actuators withstand high-pressure water jets, suitable for wet production environments;
  • Flow resistance coefficient ≤0.25, reducing energy consumption by 15% for large-flow pure water and condensate.
• Applications: Mineral water pretreatment pipelines (DN200-DN600), canning plant steam lines, central kitchen hot water loops—suitable for large-diameter quick regulation.

4. Globe Valves – Precision Throttling Experts for Flow Control

• Technical Advantages:
  • Medical-grade PEEK guide sleeves reduce friction to 0.1, enabling ±1% stroke accuracy for micro-additive dosing;
  • Bellows seal structure (Patent No.: ZL2020XXXXXX) prevents external leakage for inert gases like CO₂ and N₂;
  • Optional load cell integration for real-time differential pressure monitoring to optimize process parameters.
• Applications: Dairy homogenizer pressure control, beverage syrup batching, bakery ingredient metering—ideal for precise throttling in DN15-DN50.

5. Check Valves – Backflow Prevention for Sanitary Safety

• Technical Advantages:
  • Suspended swing discs reduce minimum activation pressure to 0.02MPa for low-head centrifugal pumps;
  • Electropolished interiors (Ra≤0.4μm) enhance hydrophilicity by 30%, minimizing particle retention in pulps and fibers;
  • Silicone rubber buffers reduce water hammer pressure by 60%, protecting pipe welds and instruments.
• Applications: Juice concentrator pump outlets, beer Sugar pan inlets, RO systems in drinking water treatment—critical for particulate or high-viscosity media.

6. Sanitary Sampling Valves – Key Nodes for Quality Control

• Technical Advantages:
  • 0.2μm sterilizing filters at sampling ports reduce microbial intrusion risk by 99.9%;
  • Low-operation force (≤5N·m) enables one-hand sampling, compliant with GMP cleanroom standards;
  • Traceable serial numbers with blockchain technology for full-process quality tracking.
• Applications: Fermenter microbiology sampling, beverage online monitoring, dairy pasteurization verification—connecting labs and production lines.

II. YYF’s Core Competencies: Full-Dimensional Compliance from Material to Process

1. Food-Grade Material System:
   • Main materials use ASTM A276 316L stainless steel (C≤0.03%), with 2x higher chloride resistance than 304;
   • Seals certified to EC 1935/2004, free of phthalates and other harmful substances, suitable for infant food production.
2. Clean Design Standards:
   • All welds use TIG auto-welding with back gas protection, passing 100% endoscope inspection to eliminate slag residue;
   • Surface finishes include mechanical polishing (Ra≤0.8μm) and electropolishing (Ra≤0.4μm) for different hygiene levels.
3. Intelligent Maintenance Empowerment:
   • YYF-IoT modules monitor cleaning cycles and operation counts, integrating with factory MES systems to optimize CIP/SIP schedules;
   • Digital twin technology simulates valve performance during steam sterilization for predictive maintenance.
4. Global Compliance Certifications:
   • Certified to FDA, NSF, and EU 10/2011, suitable for global food & beverage projects;
   • End-to-end traceability from raw material spectroscopy to final bubble leakage testing.

III. Addressing Procurement Priorities in Food & Beverage

• Compliance Assurance: All wetted surfaces pass migration tests (e.g., FDA 21 CFR 177.2600), ensuring no harmful substance release, even for infant formula;
• Cleaning Efficiency: Dead-leg-free design shortens CIP time by 20%, with quick-disconnects reducing annual water/chemical use by 30%;
• TCO Optimization: Modular design enables fast spare part replacement, with 48-hour delivery from 5 global warehouses, cutting downtime losses by 40%.
