What is a Butterfly Valve?

A butterfly valve is a simple and efficient shut-off valve that regulates liquids and gases. It features a circular disc that rotates in the center of the pipe to open, restrict, or fully block flow. Lightweight and compact, this valve is easy to install, even in tight spaces. It is also low-maintenance, contributing to longer service life and lower operational costs. These benefits make the butterfly valve popular in sectors such as food production and pharmaceuticals. Hygienic fittings like DIN 11851 ensure a leak-free and secure connection—vital in sterile applications.

What Makes DIN 11851 Butterfly Valves Unique?

DIN 11851 butterfly valves comply with strict German standards for hygienic fittings, making them suitable for processes that demand cleanliness and safety. These couplings create a reliable, leak-proof connection that can be easily dismantled for cleaning and maintenance. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the valves offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, even under demanding conditions. This makes them ideal for food systems, such as dairy processing, and pharmaceutical production. At NexaParts, we also offer dairy hoses that perfectly complement these valves, keeping your piping system both hygienic and efficient.

Where Are They Used?

DIN 11851 butterfly valves are widely used in industries where hygiene and efficiency go hand in hand. In the dairy sector, they are used for transporting milk and other dairy products. The food industry uses them for liquid products like fruit juices and sauces. Breweries use these valves during the brewing process where cleanliness is crucial. The pharmaceutical industry relies on them in sterile production environments. Thanks to their robust design and flexibility, these valves are durable, easy to install and clean, making them an excellent choice for industrial use.
