DISCOVER WHAT THE MINIDISC SANITARY VALVE DESIGN MEANS
The superb simplicity of disc sanitay valve meeting shaft at 45° means the seat is unpierced, for the purest of product integrity. The 180° rotation angles the disc sanitary valve cleanly through the product flow so the sanitary valve opens without resistance and stays in place. Half a turn of the valve handle provides quick, positive, leak-free shutoff. An "OPEN - CLOSE" mylar label indicates the status at a glance. A simple twist of the accessory lock-handle transforms the MINIDISC® into a regulating valve, locking firmly into any desired position.
The MINIDISC® is truly easy to maintain. Made entirely of stainless steel, type 304 or 316, it dismantles without tools, in seconds, simply by opening the standard heavy-duty clamp. Only three low-cost elements ever need replacement: the seat and two stem "O" rings. Changing them is a snap. The two "O" rings on the disc shaft prevent the entrance of the product into the stem housing. Two leak detector holes alert operator of worn "O" rings.
To insure a wide variety of applications, diverse gasket materials are offered. The seat is available in Teflon, buna, silicone, EPDM and Viton® (surcharge). The standard "O" rings are buna or Viton®. Other elastomers, EPDM and silicone, are available on request. Innovative, yet time-tested, long lasting, sanitary and fairly priced, the MINIDISC® valve boasts a proven record in the field.
