Standard hygienic butterfly valves are commonly found on food process lines and used to isolate food and beverage products. Typical use for this valve is with products including chocolate, fat, food, glucose and other similar products. The problems for engineers with these sorts of products is that they solidify when cold and make the opening and closing of these valves difficult to operate.

The Warmflow design involves the butterfly valve being encapsulated with a jacket, allowing a heating medium into the jacket that is separated from the valve and the process line. This keeps the valve warm, allowing the product to flow freely without solidifying.

The Warmflow patent-pending jacket can be manufactured to fit most makes of hygienic butterfly valves.

The valve has been fitted in food factories across the UK and has been tried and tested with a 100% success rate, resulting in efficient lines saving time and cost.

Valves Online sales director, Gary Hopkinson, said, "We are excited to bring this innovative jacketed butterfly valve to the market. Over the years we have constantly been asked for hygienic jacketed valves but haven't been able to offer anything truly suitable until now." ​

Valves Online has incorporated the Warmflow Jacket with its range of sanitary butterfly valves, which are available in manual, economy and control top versions.
