Valves for industries with strict hygiene requirements

Servinox of France offers its PEMS range of membrane valves which provide a simple, personalised solution for all sampling requirements. Designed for sample collection on liquid process lines, this provides an ideal solution for industries with strict hygiene requirements. These are used widely in the food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and biotechnology industries, where they have established an excellent reputation. Membrane valves ensure that the product is totally isolated from all mechanical valve components. Made of AISI 316L stainless steel, they are equipped with membranes approved by the US FDA for guaranteed compliance with food hygiene requirements. The range offers a wide choice of options including silicone, EPDM and Viton membranes, smooth, threaded or clamped connections, single outlets (for flame sterilisation) or double outlets (for sterilisation by steam or sterilising agent). In the PEMS IV version the special valve inlet is designed to prevent product retention and the mechanical insert in the membrane allows forced opening for sampling of sticky products (such as sugar) or products kept under vacuum conditions. The company is expanding its international market and is now looking for commercial partners to distribute its products.
