Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the Tuchenhagen 24/7 PMO Valve™, a revolutionary valve that allows continuous production in dairy plants by enabling seat and vent cavity cleaning without stopping production. This innovation follows the FDA's lifting of previous restrictions under the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) regulation Item 15p.

Specifications and Features
The 24/7 PMO Valve™ features independent upper and lower seats, a full-port vent cavity, and a unique patented seat design that prevents cross-contamination. It is equipped with proximity switches for seat position detection and a failsafe actuator.

Functional Characteristics

Independent seat lifting allows cleaning while product is present in the opposite housing.
Eliminates the need for production shutdowns, enhancing productivity.
Compact, automated system reduces product losses and contamination risks.

Application Areas
The valve is suitable for various dairy plant operations, including receiving systems, storage, batching, distribution, and supply systems. It can be integrated into matrix manifolds for efficient installation and operation.

Safety and Compliance
The valve meets high safety standards, certified to the 3A (85-00) standard for sanitary construction. It ensures safe operation with automated processes and a closed piping system.

Benefits

Increased productivity and profitability for dairy plants.
Reduced equipment costs and maintenance requirements.
Available in multiple sizes with optional accessories for specialized applications.

Conclusion
The Tuchenhagen 24/7 PMO Valve™ represents a significant advancement in dairy processing technology, offering continuous operation and enhanced safety, ultimately leading to greater operational flexibility and profitability.

The 24/7 PMO Valveٙ meets the highest plantsafety standards. Proximity switches detect the position of the upper and lower valve seats while the spring-to-close main actuator returns the valve to the failsafe closed position in the event of loss of air or power. The valve is certified to the 3A (85-00) standard for sanitary construction of Mixproof valves. Now that the regulatory restriction has beenlifted for this new 24/7 PMO Valve from Tuchenhagen, the US Dairy Industry can finally take advantage of all the traditional benefits of mixproof technology, such as:ٕFully automated operation (No...
