Product Spotlights
Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer established in 2016, proudly introduces our Stainless Steel Plunger Valve, 316L, 10 Bar Max, Sanitary Design for High Pressure Food Processing. This valve is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the food and beverage industry, combining high-pressure capability with impeccable sanitary standards. Our commitment to quality and precision ensures that every valve delivers reliable performance, easy maintenance, and long service life in critical processing environments.
Product Overview
The plunger valve is a key component for controlling flow in high-pressure food processing lines. Made entirely from 316L stainless steel, it offers superior corrosion resistance and durability. The sanitary design features a polished surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) that prevents bacterial growth and facilitates thorough cleaning. With a maximum operating pressure of 10 Bar, this valve is ideal for applications such as homogenization, pasteurization, and high-pressure transfer of viscous or particulate-containing fluids.
