Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedPrimed for safe handling: food industry priorities are mirrored in today's component improvements in pumps and valves
Dairy Foods, May, 2003 by Kevin Higgins
Automated cleaning and reduced downtime always have been primary benefits of mix-proof valves, as well, and more dairy processors are beginning to take advantage of the technology thanks to greater acceptance by regulators. "Mix-proof technology has been around for awhile, but the PMO aspect is relatively new," says Mark Ream, business development manager at Alfa Laval, which counts the Tri-Clover brand among its valve offerings. A cleanability hierarchy has been created to accommodate a broad range of products, from fluid milk to sticky, viscous products. Alfa Laval's spiral clean technology represents the company's state-of-the-art CIP for sanitizing the inside of the valve and plug area.
