Overview

Stainless steel hygienic butterfly valves which offer an outstanding technological solution to the handling and control of tablets, capsules, powders, granules and liquids. The Mucon® range is made to exact tolerances and finished to the highest, most stringent hygienic requirements. Mucon® stainless steel hygienic Butterfly valves have been designed for use in the pharmaceutical, food and dairy sectors specifically, where the highest level of hygiene is required. Allows the end user to quickly and effortlessly strip-down the complete butterfly valve for total cleaning due to Its crevice-free, smooth bore and compact design. In this version, the valve body is assembled using stainless steel fasteners that ensure a rigid and robust construction. Fasteners are kept to a minimum for easy disassembly for cleaning, but for applications requiring regular cleaning we recommend the Mucon® Oyster Compact series fitted with the patented clamshell body clamp.
