Connectors and shut-off valves for compressed air, gases and liquids in the food processing industry have to be easy to flush and clean. Eisele presents an optimal solution for these requirements by offering hygienic stainless steel ball valves.
The ball valves were originally developed for use in painting stations and are completely free of dead zones, are easy to clean, and ideal for hygiene applications in the food processing industry. The ball itself is permanently enclosed and sealed by two PTFE half-liners; the inside of the ball valve and the ball seats are completely free of dead zones and micro-machined to minimal roughness. The stainless steel ball valves have 1/4-inch threads on both ends. This provides a dead zone-free interface to Eisele FREELINE connectors or enables direct mounting in installations and lines.
The combination of ball valve and FREELINE connectors can be used for compressed air, vacuum, gases and liquid media in hygiene-sensitive applications or sterile environments. The design makes it impossible for product residue to accumulate. FREELINE connectors feature advanced holding technology that ensures a reliable seal up to 25 bar and 80 °C.
