Sanitary Butterfly Valves

Turning flow on and off is a recurring activity in any plant operation with liquid products. The opening and closing process must take place in a simple and effective manner. CSE sanitary butterfly valves are your best choice for this type of application. These stainless steel valves have large opening areas thereby reducing flow resistance and providing gentler treatment of liquid products.

The valve body and disc are CNC machined from T-304 and T-316L stainless steel. All valves have been 100% pressure tested before shipping, and they are certified to meet 3A Standards. These valves come with EPDM seals. Viton and silicone seals are also available.

For manual operation, CSE offers the new 12-position lockable handle which rotates 180 degrees. This allows the valve to be used from right to left. CSE butterfly valves can be easily fitted with vertically mounted CSE air actuators. Air actuated valves are available with switches and solenoid enclosed within a stainless steel cover. They are also available with proximity switches and disc positioners.

CSE sanitary butterfly valves come with Tri-Clamp ends and butt weld ends in sizes 1",1.5", 2", 2.5", 3" and 4". Metric sizes and other type end connections such as SMS and DIN 11851 are also available upon request.
