DIN 11851 Butterfly valves

DIN 11851 Butterfly Valve: Compact and Hygienic for Various Applications

A DIN 11851 butterfly valve is an efficient and hygienic solution for regulating fluid flows in piping systems. Thanks to its compact design, reliability, and robust material usage, this valve is widely applied in industries where hygiene and efficiency are critical. Examples include the food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries. The use of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel (SS), makes the DIN 11851 butterfly valve resistant to corrosion, wear, and easy to clean. This makes the valve an ideal choice for processes requiring a sterile environment, safety, durability, and easy installation.

What is a Butterfly Valve?

A butterfly valve is a simple and efficient valve that can regulate the flow of liquids and gases. The construction consists of a round disc that rotates in the middle of the pipe to either open, restrict, or fully close the flow. This type of valve is lightweight, compact, and thus easy to install, even in tight spaces. The butterfly valve is also low-maintenance, contributing to a longer lifespan and reduced costs for companies. Due to these advantages, butterfly valves are commonly used in various sectors, including the food industry and the pharmaceutical sector. The use of hygienic connections such as DIN 11851 ensures a leak-free and safe connection, which is essential for sterile applications.

What Makes DIN 11851 Butterfly Valves Unique?

DIN 11851 butterfly valves meet strict German standards for hygienic couplings, making them ideal for processes where cleanliness and safety are a priority. The couplings provide a reliable, leak-proof connection that is easy to dismantle for cleaning and maintenance. Made from high-quality stainless steel (SS), these butterfly valves offer excellent resistance to corrosion, even in challenging environments. This makes them perfect for applications in the food industry, such as dairy systems, and in the pharmaceutical sector. Thanks to their robust construction, they remain reliable even with frequent cleaning processes and meet the strictest hygiene requirements. You can also find dairy couplings that pair perfectly with these valves to ensure a hygienic and efficient piping system.

Where Are They Used?

DIN 11851 butterfly valves are widely used in industries where hygiene and efficiency go hand in hand. The dairy industry uses these valves for transporting milk and other dairy products, while the food industry employs them for liquid products such as fruit juices and sauces. Breweries also use these valves during the brewing process, where hygiene is critical. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are used in sterile production environments. Thanks to their robust design and flexibility, they are not only durable but also easy to install and clean, making them an excellent choice for industrial applications.
