Dixon’s hygienic product manager,
Ike Topselvi, says that choosing the
correct design and specification of
valve for a process can save costs, cut
downtimes and minimise product
loss or contamination.

From choosing the most effective
seat material, to the correct mounting
considerations of an actuator, Dixon
can advise on factors that affect wear
and tear on a valve and in turn create
problems with contamination and
reduce a valve’s life cycle. The
company’s ball and butterfly valves
can be actuated to customer
specification with stocked accessories
that include limit switches, solenoids
and positioners. All actuators have
been type-tested to 1,000,000 cycles.
