The USDA Dairy and EHEDG qualified fast clean rotary valves provide users with increased productivity through a design that realises minimal down time for frequent cleaning of valve internals.
The non-drive end cover incorporates the RotaLign bearing assembly for easy and safe adjustment of the rotor. This coupled with the tapered bore feature makes the design operator friendly and eliminates process and product contamination risk.
RotaLign Making Maintenance Easy and Safe
Our patented RotaLign system for perfect reassembly does not require any further adjustment or checking of the body/rotor clearances or rotor orientation. It is a self-centralising rotor design to aid dismantling and re-assembly. So cleaning can be carried out by plant operators without special tools. It also simplifies bearing changes with zero or minimal adjustment.
External Washdown Meeting IPx9K
And even more innovative engineering from Gericke RotaVal! The external washdown option for our fast-clean valves is now officially UKAS certified to IPx9K, currently the highest rating for water ingress protection.
Easy cleaning and fast access to all equipment components and surfaces has always been a key criterion for Gericke when designing machines. This makes them the perfect choice for many food applications or other industries with frequent cleaning or inspection demands. Gericke RotaVal can now offer an option to safely allow the fast clean range of rotary valves to be washed externally, with no concerns of damaging the valve – even if using a pressure washer at high water temperatures.
