The Baumann 84000 sanitary control valves are designed to satisfy the stringent demands of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. These valves are in compliance with 3A Sanitary Standards Inc. requirements. Incorporating reliable class III diaphragm technology, the 84000 valves can handle temperatures up to 160.C (320.F). The uniquely shaped diaphragm, unlike plug style sanitary valves, results in low shear forces in the flow stream, minimizing possible damage to delicate biomedia or altering the consistency of end product.
