Food industry

Fittings, unions and valves play an important role in the food industry, especially in areas such as beverage bottling plants, breweries and food production. These components are crucial to fulfil the strict hygienic standards and quality requirements of the industry.

Fittings and unions are used to connect pipework in these systems. They are designed to be easy to clean to ensure compliance with food safety standards and minimise the risk of contamination.

Suitable fittings and unions enable the use of CIP (Cleaning in Place) systems, which allow efficient cleaning and sanitising of equipment and pipework without disassembly. This is crucial to ensure product purity and minimise production downtime.

By using valves, operators can precisely regulate the flow of liquids, which is crucial in beverage bottling plants and breweries for filling and mixing beverages. They also enable precise temperature control in various production processes, such as beer brewing or food pasteurisation.

Food safety is of paramount importance. Fittings, screw connections and valves are therefore designed to prevent the ingress of foreign substances or germs, thereby ensuring the quality and safety of food. The seals must also fulfil the food requirements.

The use of high-quality fittings, unions and valves in the food industry is crucial to ensure the production of safe and high-quality food. They help to make production processes more efficient and hygienic and fulfil the industry's strict regulations and quality standards.
