What Are Sanitary Ball Valves and How Do They Work?

What is a sanitary ball valve?

Sanitary ball valve is a specially designed valve, which is a sanitary type valve used for material transfer control. These valves are made of materials that meet strict hygiene standards, making them suitable for industries where cleanliness and sterility are crucial. Sanitary ball valves are usually made of stainless steel, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and widely used in food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.

How does a sanitary ball valve work?

Sanitary ball valves control fluid flow by using spherical discs or balls. The ball has a hole or port through which fluid can pass when the valve is opened. When the valve is closed, the ball will rotate to prevent fluid flow and prevent it from passing through the valve. This simple and effective design allows for fast and precise control of flow rate.
