Description
**Sanitary Gear-Operated Butterfly Valve | Tri-Clamp Hygienic Design for Precision Flow Control**
—
### **Product Overview**
This **gear-operated sanitary butterfly valve** combines quick-connect Tri-Clamp (ISO 2852) functionality with enhanced torque control, engineered for high-purity industries like dairy, pharmaceuticals, and brewing. Featuring a robust 316L stainless steel body with electropolished surfaces (Ra ≤0.8µm), it eliminates dead zones and resists biofilm formation, ideal for CIP/SIP processes.

### **Key Differentiators**
1. **Gear-Driven Handle**
– Precision worm gear mechanism ensures smooth 90° operation, even under high-viscosity media (e.g., syrups, creams).
– Reduces manual effort by 40% compared to lever handles, with adjustable torque settings.
2. **Hygienic Quick-Connect**
– Tri-Clamp/DIN 11851 ends enable tool-free assembly, compatible with standard 1.5D sanitary tubing.
– Full-bore design minimizes pressure drop and product retention.
3. **Durability-Focused Build**
– Reinforced PTFE-coated disc with PEEK shaft for wear resistance (100,000+ cycles).
– Encapsulated gearbox (IP65 rating) protects against moisture and washdowns.

### **Applications**
– **Dairy**: Precise flow control in yogurt culturing tanks.
– **Biopharma**: Sterile transfer lines for buffer solutions.
– **Beverage**: Carbonation control in bottling systems.
– **Cosmetics**: Hygienic handling of emulsions and gels.
—
### **Why This Valve Stands Out**
– **Zero Lubrication**: Gear mechanism operates dry, eliminating contamination risks.
– **Modular Maintenance**: Replace seals or discs without dismantling the valve body.
– **Automation-Ready**: Integrate with actuators for PLC-controlled systems.
—
### **Compatible Components**
– **Piping**: Sanitary Tri-Clamp tubing (ASTM A270).
– **Sensors**: Inline conductivity or pH probes.
– **Accessories**: Locking gear handles, position indicators.

### **FAQ**
**Q: Can the gear handle be retrofitted to existing valves?**
A: Yes, universal mounting plates support retrofitting to standard Tri-Clamp valves.
**Q: Is the gearbox resistant to caustic cleaners?**
A: The sealed housing protects internal gears from CIP chemicals like NaOH/HNO3.
