Expansion is a good problem to have, but it can get expensive fast if your sanitary system was built with no room to grow. In hygienic processing, “adding a line” is rarely just adding pipe. It can trigger new clean-in-place... keep reading
Sample Valves
Steel & O’Brien SVN, EVN, and INN type sample valves are specifically designed to be the optimum product sampling solution in the industry. With superior engineering and quality, these sample valves offer exclusive performance benefits not found in other alternatives. SVN, EVN, and INN sample valves were developed with pharmaceutical and sanitary standards in mind, which is reflected in design aspects such as drainability and product contact geometries.
Right-angle concentric (SVN) models are available in ½” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes, right-angle eccentric (EVN) models are available in 1” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes, and Inline (INN) models are available in in ½” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes.
