Reliable Flow Control for Food & Process Applications

Consistent, clean, and dependable flow control is essential to food and beverage operations – from ingredient
transfer and batching to CIP chemical delivery and utility lines.

Atlantic Valves provides durable stainless-steel valve solutions suited for fluid handling, mixing, dosing, washdown, and non-aseptic food processing environments. Our goal: simplify valve selection so you can maintain uptime, meet standards, and keep products flowing.

Where Our Valves Fit in Food & Beverage

Valves play a role across nearly every stage of processing:

  • Ingredient Transfer – Water, syrups, juices, non-dairy liquids, and general process fluids.
  • Mixing & Dosing Lines – Accurate flow control for batching, blending, and general process fluids.
  • CIP & Chemical Delivery – Compatible with NaOH (Caustic) and mild acid detergents at ambient temperatures.
  • Cooling & Utilities – Valves for air, water, and washdown systems.
  • Packaging Equipment Utilities – High cycle valves for air, water, washdown, and pneumatic equipment.

Common Challenges in Food & Beverage (and How We Help)

Challenge Atlantic Valves Solution
Harsh Chemicals Stainless steel bodies and EPDM seals provide chemical resistance to caustic soda and mild acidic cleaners at ambient temperature.
Constant Cycling Solenoids rated for long cycle life and consistent performance.
Water Quality & Debris Y-strainers and debris-tolerant valves extend service intervals.
Downtime Costs Stocked core valve families for quick replacement and simplified maintenance.

Valve Categories for Food & Beverage

Atlantic Valves provides the most common valve types used in Food & Beverage facilities:

Applications Typical Use in Food & Beverage
Solenoid Valves Fast-response solenoid valves for process fluids, utility water, compressed air, and CIP chemical dosing.
Motorized Ball Valves High flow , high pressure (up to 185 psi)automated shut off valves for utilities, cooling system and filling equipment support lines.
Manual Ball Valves Full-port brass or stainless valves for line isolation and maintenance.
Y-Strainers Trap reclaim debris to protect pumps and downstream valves.
Check Valves Non-return valves for syrup lines, ingredient transfer, and utility systems. Stainless steel options available.

How to Choose the Right Valve

When specifying valves for food & beverage service, focus on three essentials:

  • Media & Sanitation – Choose stainless steel and FDA-approved seals for any product-contact service.
  • Cycle Life & Cleaning – Select valves rated for high-cycle use and resistance to hot water/steam.
  • Controls & Fail-Safe Modes – Confirm available voltage (24 VDC, 120 VAC) and use normally closed valves for safety-critical lines.

Pro Tip: Standardizing on stainless steel valve bodies with EPDM or PTFE seals simplifies inventory and ensures compatibility across most F&B applications.
