Butterfly Valve
InoxFlow sanitary butterfly valves deliver reliable, hygienic shut-off and flow isolation for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical processing lines. Every valve is precision-machined from solid stainless steel – never cast – eliminating the internal porosity that traps product and harbors bacteria. The result is a smoother, more cleanable, and longer-lasting valve built to perform in demanding CIP/SIP environments.
Machined, Not Cast: The Difference You Can Measure
Cast valves are formed by pouring molten metal into a mold, leaving microscopic voids beneath the surface. InoxFlow valves are CNC-machined from solid bar stock, which means:
- No internal porosity — nothing for product or bacteria to lodge in
- Tighter tolerances for a more consistent, repeatable seal
- Smoother internal surfaces for faster, more thorough clean-in-place cycles
- Longer service life under repeated actuation and wash-down
Combined with Italian engineering and responsive technical support, it’s a premium alternative to mass-produced, cast sanitary valves.
Gentle-Handling Option: Protect Fragile Product
Tablet Valve
Handling tablets, capsules, or friable granules? Opt for a gentle-handling configuration with a silicone disk in place of stainless steel. The flexible disk closes softly around fragile product during the shut-off phase — preventing breakage, cracking, and fines — while still delivering a clean, positive seal. It’s the same trusted valve body, configured to protect what’s moving through it
Beyond Sanitary: Built to Your Application
Need a non-sanitary or specialty configuration? InoxFlow butterfly valves are built to order and adapt well beyond hygienic processing. Through tailored material, seal, and finish selection, the same machined-valve platform handles demanding industrial duties — including abrasive media. We recently configured units for a customer processing metallic powders, an application far outside standard sanitary service. If you have an unusual requirement, it’s worth a conversation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
butterfly valve provides hygienic shut-off and flow isolation in processing lines where cleanability and contamination control are critical — common in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications.
Machining from solid stainless steel eliminates the internal porosity created during casting. That means smoother surfaces, easier cleaning, no spots for bacteria to harbor, and a longer service life — which is why machined valves are preferred for sanitary duty.
Yes. InoxFlow offers a gentle-handling configuration with a silicone disk instead of stainless steel. The flexible disk closes softly around fragile product during shut-off, protecting it from breakage while maintaining a positive seal.
Tri-Clamp, DIN flanges, ANSI flanges, and custom sizes or combinations to match your existing equipment.
Yes. InoxFlow butterfly valves are built to order and can be adapted for industrial and abrasive media — including applications such as metallic powder processing — through material, seal, and finish selection.
