Control valves with smooth, cavityfree
internals which help to promote
effective CIP and SIP and which are
self-draining, are used in many food
processing and pharmaceutical
applications. Samson Controls offers
a range of valves with these features.

They are made to quality assurance
systems certified to ISO 9001 and
also meet FDA requirements for
aseptic process applications.

The type 3347 control valve, for
example, has polished
steel parts to ensure
high purity for the
process medium by
eliminating areas
which might increase
the potential for
bacteria growth. It has
special PTFE bushing
and an additional
steam line connection
that is used to meet
the highest purity requirements.

Process applications that involve
pasty, fibrous or highly viscous
products can be controlled by the
Type 3345 cavity-free valve body
which has a diaphragm made of
rubber, nitrile, butyl or PTFE that
acts both as a seal and a valve plug.
