Sanitary MDF Kit Valve Activator for Food and Beverage Processing
with Easy-Clean Design
Product Description:
The Sanitary MDF Kit Valve Activator meets the stringent hygiene
standards required in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical
industries. Crafted with a focus on cleanability and contamination
prevention, this specialized actuator features a smooth,
crevice-free stainless steel housing with a high-gloss finish that
prevents bacterial harborage. All materials in contact with the
environment are certified food-grade and resistant to corrosive
cleaning agents, caustic wash-downs, and steam sterilization
(SIP/CIP processes). The actuator provides reliable rotary motion
to control butterfly, ball, and diaphragm valves that manage the
flow of ingredients, products, and cleaning fluids. Its sealed
design boasts a high IP69K rating, ensuring complete protection
against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets during routine
sanitation cycles. The MDF Kit Valve Activator is designed not only
to perform but to endure the most aggressive hygiene protocols
without degradation. By ensuring a sterile processing environment,
it plays a vital role in maintaining product safety, quality, and
compliance with global food safety standards like FDA, EHEDG, and
3-A. This unit is the definitive choice for any application where
purity is as important as performance.
Bullet Points:
Constructed with stainless steel and a easy-clean design for strict hygiene zones.
Complies with food-grade standards (FDA, 3-A) for food and beverage processing.
IP69K rated to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature
wash-downs.
Crevice-free housing prevents the accumulation of bacteria and
debris.
Provides reliable actuation for mix-proof and divert valve control.
Specific Application Scenario
This activator is installed on a divert valve in a dairy plant,
directing the flow of milk between pasteurization, storage, and
packaging lines. It is cleaned-in-place (CIP) daily with caustic
solutions.
Factory Production Floor
Production occurs in a controlled, clean-room environment. All stainless steel components are polished to a specific Ra (roughness average)
surface finish. Assemblers wear gloves to prevent contamination,
and each unit is bagged in a sterile package post-assembly.
Packing and Transportation
Each sanitary activator is sealed in a clean, plastic VCI bag and
placed in a new, uncontaminated cardboard box. The exterior is
clearly labeled with material certifications and hygiene standard
compliance.
FAQ
1. How does the easy-clean design prevent contamination?
The easy-clean design features a seamless, polished stainless steel housing with no gaps or threads where microbes could hide,
allowing for complete runoff of fluids and effective sterilization.
2. Is this actuator suitable for direct product contact?
While the housing is designed for the processing environment, it
does not directly contact the product. It is designed to actuate
valves that do, ensuring the entire system meets hygiene standards
for food and beverage processing.
3. Can it truly withstand daily CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles?
Absolutely. The IP69K rating, combined with chemically resistant
seals, is specifically engineered to endure the aggressive
chemicals and high temperatures of daily CIP and SIP cycles.
4. What is the benefit of the high-gloss polish?
The high-gloss (electropolished) finish creates an ultra-smooth
surface that minimizes adhesion of soils and biofilms, making
cleaning more effective and efficient.
5. Are the internal lubricants food-safe?
Yes, all internal greases and lubricants are NSF H1 registered,
meaning they are technically food-grade and safe for incidental
contact with consumable products.
