Sanitary Clamp Model Non-Retention Welded Ball Valve

High-Performance Hygienic Valve for Modern Processing Systems

1. Introduction

The sanitary clamp model non-retention welded ball valve is a premium hygienic valve designed for modern processing systems requiring complete drainage, zero fluid retention, and contamination-free operation. Manufactured from SS304 or SS316L stainless steel with a polished internal surface, this valve supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place) processes, ensuring high hygiene standards in production lines.

Its clamp connection enables quick assembly and disassembly, while the non-retention ball design eliminates dead zones, preventing microbial growth and ensuring product integrity. This valve is widely used in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and cosmetic industries where hygiene, durability, and reliability are critical.
