Case Study: Chocolate Process GAR-SEAL® PTFE Butterfly Valve and BIO-LINE ASEPT®
INDUSTRY
Food Processing – Chocolate
CUSTOMER
A major global confectionery group producing leading consumer branded products, with a focus on quality and customer satisfaction.
BACKGROUND
This customer’s facility in Germany processes chocolate products, and they had experienced historical issues with butterfly valves for critical processes whereby the valves were failing prematurely and replacement parts were only available on a long lead-time. Additionally they required higher performing sealing solutions for hygienic connections throughout the process, requiring a superior material that would provide an effective seal while being resistant to aggressive process and cleaning media.
