Key points
Gericke RotaVal has just rolled out its upgraded lineup of fast clean rotary valves, designed to boost productivity while ensuring safe and reliable operation. With certifications from USDA Dairy and EHEDG, plus full ATEX compliance, these valves come packed with innovative features aimed at maximizing production efficiency and minimizing downtime.
Hygienic, Sturdy, and Easy to Clean
The USDA Dairy Accepted HDMF and BSMF rotary valves are all about high productivity with minimal downtime, making them perfect for industries that need frequent cleaning. Their robust construction makes them suitable for a variety of sectors. With options for both single and double end openings, these valves set a new standard for easy cleaning.
RotaLign: Maintenance Made Easy and Safe
Thanks to the patented RotaLign system, reassembly is a breeze—no extra adjustments or clearance checks needed. Its self-centering rotor design allows for quick dismantling and reassembly, so operators can clean the valves without needing specialized tools. Plus, replacing bearings is straightforward, requiring little to no adjustment.
Certified External Washdown to IPx9K
Gericke RotaVal also offers an optional high-pressure external washdown feature, certified to IPx9K, which is the top standard for water ingress protection. This means fast, effective cleaning and easy access to all components—making these valves especially suitable for food processing and other industries that require regular cleaning and inspections.
Guarding Against Damage and Contamination
To prevent contamination, the valves are designed with a unique tapered bore that matches the rotor design and guide rails. This clever innovation ensures smooth, damage-free rotor extraction and insertion, protecting both product quality and the longevity of the equipment.
