Ball valves- Uses in food & beverage industry


ball valves


Ball Valve is the valve that can either be turned on or off by opening the valve & closing the valve, respectively. This type of valve uses a hollow, perforated, & pivoting ball to control flow through it. If the handle of the ball valves lies flat in alignment with the flow, then the valve is in an open state. When the handle of the valve is perpendicular, then the ball valve is closed. Hence the confirmation of the ball valve status can be checked easily by looking at the alignment of the ball valve handle. 
One of the main benefits to using a ball valve in a pipe system is if the valve does happen to fail, it is not necessary to remove the valve from the line in order to repair it. This makes it a popular choice in closed-line systems such as oil pipelines, lines containing corrosives or chemicals & hydraulic applications.
Whenever we are going to any online grocery stores & purchase food items likes cereals, cookies, canned fruits, & pastries, you might have wondered how this food must have been processed. This is where ball valves play a crucial role in the food & beverage industries.  Ball valves are flow valves that are quarter turn is used to shut off & control purposes. The ball valves are very easy to operate & can control & maintain high volume, high flow of temperature, & high pressure.
 Ball valves are more efficient than traditional butterfly valves that are explicitly used for the circulation of stream water only. Ball valves that are used in food processing industries can be subclassified into 2 different categories. They can be a valve that comes in direct contact with the food & the second that are used in utility services involved in the food industry.
Both of these types of Ball valve are regulated, but the one which is in direct contact of food must undergo stringent checks. Even a small contaminant in the valve will lead to compromise with product quality & increase the cost of production.

Types of Ball valves that are used in Food & beverage industries
  • One-piece Ball valves: - These types of ball valves are less in cost & are basically “throw-away” type valve. There are no leakage points in this category of ball valves.
  • Two-piece ball valves: - These types of ball valves are most common. This has one body joint that has fewer chances of leaks. They can take part in maintenance as well.
  • Three-piece ball valves: -These types of ball valves can be disassembled easily for maintenance. The internal parts can easily be swapped.

VALVES BY BODY MATERIAL CAST (the body is obtained by casting steel). The main casting materials for valves are listed in this article. FORGED (the body is manufactured by forging steel) VALVES BY TYPE OF ACTUATION MANUAL: the valve is operated manually, via levers, wheels or gears; ACTUATED: the valve is actioned via electromechanical devices, called actuators, that may be electric, pneumatic, hydraulic & gas over oil VALVE BY DESIGN GATE VALVE: This type is the most used in piping & pipeline applications. Gate valves are linear motion devices used open & close the flow of the fluid (shutoff valve). Gate valves cannot be used for throttling applications, i.e. to regulate the flow of the fluid (globe or ball valves should be used in this case). A gate valve is, therefore, either fully opened or closed (by manual wheels, gears or electric, pneumatic & hydraulic actuators) GLOBE VALVE:...

Valves Types And Advantages Or Disadvantages

1 Gate Valves Gate Valves are designed to function isolation valves. These valves facilitate to regulate the flow of liquid through the pipes. to begin or stop the water flow or the other reasonably liquid, these valves are glued to the pipelines. Gate valves are used for numerous functions and that they are often seen unremarkably in homes and industrial centers. totally different materials like stainless-steel, cast iron, steel, solid steel etc are wont to manufacture these valves. We are a leading   valves manufacturer in Surat Gate valves are wont to either halt or begin the flow of water. Functioning of gate valves includes the lifting of a circular of the oblong gate out of the fluid path. once gate valves are open, there'll be nothing to impede the flow because the pipeline diameter gate have an equivalent gap. The valve size are often determined with this bore diameter. Read more Threaded Gate Valves Advantages • Gate valves contain terribly low friction...
