Valve accessories are essential components that ensure correct operation, installation flexibility and automation readiness of hygienic process valves. The range includes pneumatic actuators, manual handles, mounting brackets and installation accessories for food, dairy and beverage applications.
Accessories play a critical role in the performance and reliability of hygienic valves. Whether the valve is manually operated or automated, the correct selection of actuators, handles and mounting components ensures safe operation, long service life and compliance with hygienic design requirements.
The valve accessories portfolio is divided into functional categories to support manual operation, automation, installation and retrofitting of hygienic process valves.
Pneumatic actuators convert compressed air into mechanical movement to open or close hygienic valves automatically. They are designed for reliable operation, long service life and compatibility with control units and automation systems.
Manual handles enable simple hand-operated valve control where automation is not required. They are commonly used in utility lines, sampling points or low-frequency operation valves.
Mounting brackets allow secure installation of valves, actuators and control units. They support correct alignment, reduce mechanical stress and simplify installation.
Installation accessories include fastening components and interface elements that ensure correct assembly and compatibility between valve bodies, actuators and control units.
Accessories designed to prepare valves for future automation, enabling easy upgrades from manual to automated operation without replacing the valve body.
Retrofit accessories make it possible to upgrade older valve installations with modern actuators and control units, extending equipment lifetime and improving performance.
Pneumatic actuators are the driving force behind automated hygienic valves. They are engineered to deliver consistent force, precise movement and high reliability in demanding hygienic environments.
Operated by compressed air in one direction and spring return in the opposite direction. Suitable for fail-safe applications where the valve must return to a defined position.
Use compressed air for both opening and closing. Provide controlled movement in both directions and are commonly used in automated process lines.
Designed for common hygienic valve types and standard stroke lengths, offering a balanced solution for most process applications.
Used for specific valve designs that require extended travel. Often applied in specialized hygienic valves or complex flow control solutions.
Actuators that rely solely on compressed air for movement, without spring return. Typically used where controlled positioning is required in both directions.
Actuators are designed to integrate seamlessly with valve control and indication units, enabling precise feedback, diagnostics and process automation.
Manual handles provide a straightforward and cost-effective solution for operating valves without automation. They are robust, easy to use and suitable for hygienic environments.
Simple lever-style handles that allow quick opening and closing of the valve. Ideal for applications with infrequent operation.
Handles equipped with locking functionality to prevent unauthorized operation and ensure process safety.
Manual handles can include basic position indication to clearly show whether the valve is open or closed.
Smooth surfaces and hygienic materials ensure easy cleaning and compliance with sanitary standards.
Many manual handle configurations allow future replacement with pneumatic actuators, supporting gradual automation upgrades.
Commonly used in utility lines, sampling points and auxiliary process lines where automation is not required.
Mounting brackets are used to securely position valves, actuators and control units within the process installation. Correct mounting improves mechanical stability, alignment and long-term reliability.
Designed to support hygienic valves in fixed positions, ensuring correct orientation and reducing stress on piping connections.
Provide stable support for pneumatic actuators, allowing accurate force transmission and reducing vibration during operation.
Enable proper installation of valve control and indication units, ensuring clear visibility and easy access for maintenance.
Brackets suitable for wall or frame mounting to support auxiliary valves and accessories in compact plant layouts.
Manufactured from materials suitable for hygienic environments, allowing easy cleaning and resistance to corrosion.
Available in different sizes and configurations to match specific valve types and installation requirements.
Installation and retrofit accessories help adapt valves to new process requirements, simplify upgrades and extend the lifetime of existing valve installations.
Components that ensure compatibility between valve bodies, actuators and control units, allowing flexible configuration.
Hygienic fastening components designed for secure assembly and long-term reliability in process environments.
Kits designed to upgrade older manual or semi-automated valves to modern automated solutions without replacing the valve body.
Accessories that prepare valves for future automation, reducing downtime and investment during plant expansion.
Accessories that simplify disassembly, inspection and reassembly during routine maintenance and servicing.
Designed to support gradual system upgrades while maintaining hygienic integrity and operational safety.
To ensure correct accessory selection, the following information should be considered during project planning or retrofit activities.
Identify the valve model and size to ensure compatibility with actuators, handles and mounting components.
Decide whether the valve will be manually operated or automated, and whether future automation is planned.
Consider available space, orientation and mounting surfaces within the process installation.
Review pressure, temperature and cleaning requirements to ensure accessory suitability.
Determine whether accessories are intended for new installations or upgrading existing equipment.
Confirm compatibility with control systems, sensors and communication protocols.
Common questions related to valve accessories and their applications.
Yes. Many manual valves can be upgraded using pneumatic actuators and control units, depending on valve type and actuator compatibility.
While not always mandatory, mounting brackets improve stability, alignment and ease of maintenance, especially in automated installations.
Yes. All accessories are designed with hygienic principles in mind and are suitable for CIP and SIP processes when correctly selected.
