The sanitary 3-way ball valve operates by rotating a spherical ball with a bore through 90 degrees to control the flow of media through the valve body. In a 3-way configuration, the ball has multiple ports that allow for different flow patterns:
L-port: Directs flow from one inlet to either of two outlets, or shuts off flow completely
T-port: Combines flow from two inlets into one outlet, or diverts flow from one inlet to two outlets simultaneously
The tri-clamp connection design allows for quick and easy disassembly without special tools, making maintenance and cleaning procedures fast and efficient. The precision-machined ball ensures tight sealing and smooth operation throughout the valve's service life.
Polished internal surfaces with Ra ≤ 0.8μm to eliminate product buildup and bacterial harborage
Crevice-free construction that complies with 3-A Sanitary Standards
Easy disassembly for thorough cleaning and sterilization (CIP/SIP compatible)
Manufactured from high-grade 304, 316, and 316L stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance
Precision-machined components for tight tolerances and long service life
Robust body design that withstands pressure fluctuations and thermal cycling
Multiple actuation choices: manual handle, pneumatic, or electric actuators
Available in both L-port and T-port configurations for different flow control needs
Compatible with standard sanitary piping systems and accessories
PTFE and RTFE seat materials provide strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and high temperatures
Bubble-tight shutoff to prevent cross-contamination between different media
Low operating torque for smooth and effortless operation
Our sanitary tri-clamp 3-way ball valves are the ideal solution for a wide range of hygienic process applications, including:
Food and beverage processing (dairy, brewery, confectionery, juice production)
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing
Cosmetics and personal care production
Chemical processing involving high-purity media
Drinking water treatment systems
These valves are particularly well-suited for applications requiring frequent product changeovers, as their quick-disconnect design minimizes downtime and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
