Gericke RotaVal has introduced its latest generation of fast clean rotary valves, incorporating a suite of innovative features designed to boost efficiency while ensuring safe, hygienic operation. The updated range is certified by USDA Dairy, EHEDG, and ATEX, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of industries, including those with stringent hygiene requirements.

The HDMF and BSMF models are engineered for ease of cleaning and minimal downtime, key attributes for processes requiring frequent sanitation. Available in both single and double end opening versions, the valves support streamlined access and maintenance, helping operators maintain high productivity levels.

A standout feature is the patented RotaLign system, which simplifies the dismantling and reassembly process. This self-aligning rotor technology eliminates the need for realignment or clearance checks, allowing for quick maintenance without specialist tools. Bearing replacements are also simplified, requiring little or no adjustment.

For industries that demand high levels of cleanliness, the valves now offer an external washdown option certified to IPx9K – the highest rating for water ingress protection. This ensures thorough cleaning even under high-pressure wash conditions, meeting the standards required for food and pharmaceutical processing.

To further enhance safety and product integrity, the rotary valves incorporate a tapered bore and matching rotor design. Combined with integrated guide rails, this configuration eliminates the risk of scratching or damage during rotor extraction or reinsertion, thereby reducing contamination risks.Top of Form
