Application in deep-frying systems
Food ball valves for the highest demands ensure long service life extensions in deep-frying systems
Our GEFA DG series ball valves are the ideal choice for industrial valves for the food industry and especially for the production of deep-frying baked goods. These high-quality, three-piece ball valves have been developed to meet the requirements of the food industry, including deep-frying systems, while maximizing service life.
Application of three-piece ball valves in the food industry:
Our DG series food ball valves have been specially developed for deep-frying systems. They are used in various scenarios where different frying oils are used at temperatures of up to 200°C and under variable pressure conditions - sometimes even with solids in the medium.
Challenges and tasks:
The requirements in the food industry are high, and our ball valves master them effortlessly:
- Increasing the general service life to ensure a smooth production process
- Permanently tight sealing, even at critical pressure-temperature ratios, for maximum food safety
- Wear-resistant seals to reliably seal off oils containing solids upstream of the filter
- Deformation-resistant seat rings that can withstand extreme conditions
- Approval for food use to meet the highest quality standards
Our solution in detail:
The three-piece ball valves in the DG1L series set new standards and offer outstanding features:
- Long service life thanks to a stainless steel housing that guarantees durability
- Pressure and temperature-resistant seat rings made of PTFE carbon for reliable performance
- Wear-resistant gaskets with 25% carbon admixture to ensure maximum tightness
- Some with dead space-filling seat rings to guarantee minimal product residue in the ball valve
- Complete valve in accordance with EU1935/2004 and FDA for maximum food safety
The result:
The use of our DG series food ball valves leads to impressive results:
- Significant increase in the service life of deep-frying systems
- No deformation of the seat rings, even under extreme conditions
- No damage caused by hard residues from the fried food, for trouble-free production
