AWH hygienic butterfly valves

The AWH leakage butterfly valves, compact intermediate flange butterfly valves and standard butterfly valves are designed to be suitable for safe media separation.

Butterfly valves are used for controlling the flow of fluid through pipes. They are multipurpose and offer a compact design, making them a good choice for the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries (among others). They are suitable for applications involving liquid or semi-liquid products.

Within hygienic industries, along with all equipment, valves must adhere to the strictest sanitary standards, which means sourcing the right valves for the job is imperative. There are several factors to consider when selecting a butterfly valve. Firstly, the sealing must be food grade and durable, with no potential for leakage to avoid being contaminated and it should be made of a material that isn’t affected by the chemicals within the clean in place (CIP) cycle. Adequate seal technology will ensure the butterfly valve is longer-lasting in demanding conditions. A compliant butterfly valve is safe for use with food and in food production processes. 316 stainless steel butterfly valves are essential.

All of AWH products are made from high-quality, traceable stainless steel that is durable. A variety of test certificates and documentation is available on request.

Cleaning of AWH valves is simple and efficient due to their design. The valves are completely isolated when in the closed state. The valve closing pistons lie almost flush in the through-flow pipe. This prevents contamination at this point.

The double-flap principle is designed to ensure the highest possible safety of media separation in a pipeline system.

Only high-quality AWH valve seals are installed in the butterfly valves.

AWH Valves also have an optional RFID transponder to store all of the necessary data around the valve.

Valves can be equipped with pneumatic or electric actuators in just a few steps. There is also the option of retrofitting the actuator and auxiliary valves with initiators. These enable monitoring of the individual valve positions.

German-manufactured AWH hygienic butterfly valves are now available through Tecpro Australia.
