Gericke RotaVal Adds Innovative Features to its Fast Clean Rotary Valves

29 Jul 2025  |
Gericke RotaVal announces the launch of its updated range of fast clean rotary valves, designed to enhance productivity and ensure safe operation. The valves are USDA Dairy and EHEDG qualified as well as ATEX certified. Several innovative features maximize production time while minimising downtime.

Hygienic and Easy to Clean Rotary Valves

The USDA Dairy Accepted HDMF and BSMF rotary valves offer increased productivity through minimal downtime for frequent cleaning. The robust construction makes this fast clean range suitable for nearly all types of industry. The valves are available across the range with single and double end openings to allow for class leading cleaning.

RotaLign Makes Maintenance Easy and Safe

The patented RotaLign system ensures perfect reassembly without requiring further adjustment or checking of body/rotor clearances or rotor orientation. This self-centralising rotor design aids in dismantling and re-assembly, allowing plant operators to clean the valves without special tools. It also simplifies bearing changes with zero or minimal adjustment.

External Washdown Meeting IPx9K

Gericke RotaVal’s offering includes a high pressure external washdown option for the fast-clean valves, officially certified to IPx9K, the highest rating for water ingress protection. Easy cleaning and fast access to all equipment components and surfaces have always been a key criterion for Gericke when designing machines. This makes them the perfect choice for many food applications or other industries with frequent cleaning or inspection demands. 

Eliminate Damage and Contamination

To prevent potential product contamination, the unique tapered bore with matching rotor design and guide rails provide scratch and damage-free rotor extraction and insertion.
