IMI PBM Sanitary Self Cleaning Ball Valves
Welcome to the advanced solution in sanitary processing: the IMI PBM Sanitary Self-Cleaning Ball Valves. These valves are engineered with state-of-the-art features to enhance efficiency and reliability in hygienic applications, ensuring a streamlined process and superior product integrity.
Innovative Design and Operation
The IMI PBM Sanitary Self-Cleaning Ball Valves incorporate the exclusive Adjust-O-Seal® technology. This allows the valves to self-adjust, compensating for wear and maintaining optimal performance throughout their lifespan. The true innovation lies in their ability to thoroughly clean themselves during Clean-In-Place (CIP) operations while in the fully open position, guaranteeing a high level of hygiene and minimizing downtime.
Unobstructed Flow and Superior Sealing
These valves provide a complete, unobstructed flow, a significant advantage over traditional floating ball, diaphragm, and butterfly valve designs. The bidirectional, bubble-tight shutoff ensures no leakage, enhancing the safety and cleanliness of the processing environment.
Material and Construction Quality
Constructed from materials like 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy™, and AL6XN™, the IMI PBM Sanitary Self-Cleaning Ball Valves are designed to withstand harsh environments and aggressive cleaning processes. Options for mechanical or electropolish finishes cater to different industry needs, ensuring compatibility with various processing standards.
Versatility in Applications
The versatility of the IMI PBM valves is unmatched. They are available in various sizes and can be fitted with multiple end connections such as extended tubes, hygienic clamps, or compression ends. This makes them suitable for various applications across pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and biotechnologyindustries.
Advanced Features and Customization
To meet specific industry needs, these valves can be customized with features like the patented locking lever handle and direct-mount automation and controls. The unique fire-rated sanitary design further isolates the product media from contaminants, ensuring the integrity and purity of the process materials.
Commitment to Quality and Compliance
IMI PBM’s commitment to quality is evident in its adherence to stringent standards. The valves are ASME BPE compliant and utilize USP Class VI elastomers and FDA-compliant materials, which underscore their suitability for critical and hygienic processes.
IMI PBM Sanitary Self-Cleaning Ball Valves are a reliable solution for maintaining purity and efficiency in your processing environments.
