Sanitary Manual Diaphragm Valves

Pharmaceutical companies rely on secure methods for manufacturing products such as medications,
vaccines and other solutions. Using equipment and machinery, companies need to guide the flow of
media without cross-contaminating ingredients. Residue from previous batches have the potential to
corrupt future products. The use of diaphragm valves enables technicians and operators to use
workplace systems repeatedly.

Experts at Sentinel Process Systems help technicians, operators, managers and process engineers
implement sanitary diaphragm valves for unobstructed flow and control to sensitive media.

These sanitary diaphragm valves are manually operated with plastic handwheels and have Stainless
Steel bonnets and internals.

What Are Sanitary Diaphragm Valves?

Sanitary diaphragm valves are primarily used in pharmaceutical, food and biotechnology industries for sterile practice. These “clean” valves are suitable for conditions where ultra-pure media travels across systems for distribution. Depending on model selection, sanitary diaphragm valves can be included into systems for free liquid flow, throttling and shut-off functions.

Sanitary diaphragm valves are the premier choice for pharmaceutical facilities, as they ensure media does not make contact with elements outside of equipment or with other moving components of the device. Liquid solutions stay free of contaminants, and technicians can appreciate that valves that are compatible with sterilizing procedures.

Sanitary valves from Sentinel Process Systems  Utilize a variety of materials of construction, surface finish quality, and valve configurations allowing for the use in numerous sterile applications. With the hermetic seal between the process and actuator, and incorporating the multi-port block design, Pharmaceutical facilities can reduce the amount of potential leak points.GEMU Stainless Steel Diaphragm Valves.

Sentinel Process Systems distributes industry-leading sanitary diaphragm valves from GEMU. Models 601, 612, 653 and 673 are manually operated for managing system outputs.
