Engineered for efficiency, our ZFD rotary valve enables fully automatic wet cleaning (CIP) without disassembly.

Blow-through Valve for Powders in CIP Execution

The ZFD rotary valve is engineered for the highest hygienic standards and is fully designed according to EHEDG guidelines, making it ideal for applications that demand uncompromising cleanliness. Designed for automatic wet cleaning (CIP) without the need to open the valve, it ensures fast, repeatable, and contamination-free sanitation. Its smooth transitions and polished product-contact surfaces (Ra 0.8 µm) minimize product buildup and allow residues to be flushed away effortlessly. The ZFD also features front-flushing seals at the inlet, outlet, and between the side cover and housing – a patented, gap-free, FDA-compliant design that eliminates hidden niches and guarantees maximum process safety.

Hygienic Design

The ZFD rotary valve is engineered with a strict focus on hygienic design, making it ideal for processes where cleanliness and product safety are paramount. Built as a blow-through valve in full CIP execution, it allows automatic wet cleaning without any need to open the valve, ensuring fast and repeatable sanitation. CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) enables the entire cleaning cycle, including rinsing, washing, and sanitizing, to be carried out automatically within the installed system. This eliminates manual disassembly, reduces downtime, and ensures consistent, validated cleaning results.
