Dervos Valve’s stainless steel 3-way sanitary butterfly valves are engineered and developed for use in applications that necessitate a sterile, clean environment. Common product features typically incorporated into the sanitary valve design include uncomplicated cleaning characteristics in which the valves have minimal or no crevice sections. There are numerous specifications involved with 3-way sanitary butterfly valve design, including operating temperatures, the diameter of the valve along with the media variety, including gases, liquids, liquids with suspended solids and gases being used in the tubing system. The commonly used end types of stainless sanitary valves are welded and clamped.
3-way sanitary butterfly valves help provide unrestricted through flow. These sanitary valves can be serviced without completely removing it from the line, a significant benefit. The stainless-steel models provide higher corrosion resistance, protecting against industrial solvents and chemicals.
Actuated, stainless steel butterfly valves are primarily used in the chemical, dairy, beverage or pharmaceutical industries in which an application is required (with air) to open, spring to close sanitary pneumatic valve usage.
