Butterfly Valves type BVS | Mei
MEI BVS Food Grade Butterfly Valve
The MEI BVS is a sanitary butterfly valve designed for small diameter applications, providing flow isolation in clean lines for food, beverages, and auxiliary process fluids. The series covers DN25–DN80 with standard welding ends, while flanged ends or special connections are available upon request.
Construction
- Top Flange: EN 1.4404 / AISI 316L
- Bottom Flange: EN 1.4404 / AISI 316L
- Disc: EN 1.4404 / AISI 316L
- Seat: food grade red silicone FDA 177.2600
- Optional: PTFE seat
Silicone is suitable for sanitary lines requiring elastic sealing and frequent cleaning. PTFE is considered when product or CIP chemicals pose compatibility issues with elastomer seats.
Automation and Torque
The BVS is prepared for actuator and features a top flange ISO 5211 F05 across all DN25–DN80 sizes. Indicative operating torques are:
- DN25: 8 Nm
- DN32 / DN40: 10 Nm
- DN50: 14 Nm
- DN65: 18 Nm
- DN80: 20 Nm
Actuator selection should include a safety margin above the torque table, considering line pressure, operation frequency, seat condition, and cleaning agents.
Typical Applications
- Product lines in food and beverages.
- Small process water lines.
- Filling / emptying networks.
- Sanitary installations requiring welded connections and stainless steel contact surfaces.
