Oyster Superclean Valve
The Oyster Superclean sanitary butterfly valve is a revolutionary design for applications where washability is at a premium.
The unique geometry of the Oyster Superclean Valve means that when used in applications with Clean In Place technology the complete valve can be washed together with the rest of the host installation as part of the normal cleaning cycle.

Features
In all traditional butterfly valves, the valve stem which controls the movement of the disc has to pass through a hole in the gasket. In the area around this hole the disc is constantly in tight contact with the gasket, and there is no way of washing the contact surfaces completely clean without dismantling the valve. This means downtime and loss of production for the plant, manpower costs and additional wear and tear on the components of the valve.
The Oyster Superclean valve has the stem inclined at an angle to the plane of the valve disc. This means that the driveshaft does not pass through the seal. Tightness is achieved by means of a plain seal with no hole, enabling greater flexibility in the choice of materials and improved washability.
