Product Overview

The U Type Diaphragm Valve is a high-performance manual valve used for regulating or completely stopping the flow of fluids in hygienic process systems. Designed with a distinctive U-shaped body, this valve allows unobstructed flow, minimum turbulence, and easy drainability, making it ideal for clean and sterile environments.

Manufactured in compliance with international sanitary standards like 3A, DIN, and ASME BPE, it is widely used in industries where purity, cleanliness, and precision flow control are non-negotiable – such as pharmaceutical, biotech, dairy, beverage, and food processing.


Key Features

1. Hygienic U-Shaped Design

The U-shape ensures minimal pressure drop and promotes complete draining, reducing dead legs. It is suitable for high-purity applications and prevents fluid retention, which is critical in sterile systems.

2. Superior Diaphragm Quality

Equipped with FDA-approved EPDM, PTFE, Silicone, or Viton diaphragms, which provide chemical resistance, thermal durability, and leak-proof performance. Diaphragms are easily replaceable, reducing downtime.

3. Manual Flow Control

The integrated handwheel mechanism allows precise flow control or shut-off. The rising stem and bonnet assembly keep the fluid path isolated from the external environment.

4. Zero Dead Space

Internal geometry is crafted to be crevice-free, eliminating the chances of contamination. This ensures easy CIP/SIP cleaning, supporting continuous operations in sterile environments.

5. Custom End Connections

Available with TC ends, weldable ends, flange joints, or union threads, the valve can be integrated seamlessly into existing or new piping systems.


Applications of U Type Diaphragm Valve

  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plants – For API handling, CIP/SIP lines, WFI loops

  • Biotech & Fermentation Units – In bioreactors, transfer lines, and cleaning systems

  • Dairy & Beverage Plants – Milk, cream, syrup, and juice lines requiring cleanability

  • Food Processing Units – In sauces, purees, and semi-solid material transfer

  • Cosmetics & Personal Care – High-viscosity creams, lotions, and gel handling

  • Chemical & RO Systems – When chemical resistance and no-contamination are critical
