NSF H1 Registered Metered Aerosol Valves for Food Machinery Lubricants with Sanitary Design and Non-Toxic Lubricity.
Product Description:
Maintain food processing equipment safely and efficiently with our NSF H1 registered metered aerosol valves. Designed specifically for food-grade lubricants, release agents, and sanitizers used in incidental food contact zones, these valves deliver a precise, measured dose exactly where lubrication is needed on conveyors, bearings, cutters, or molds. The precision metering chamber ensures dose uniformity, preventing over-application that could attract contaminants or under-application leading to equipment wear. Manufactured entirely from NSF H1 compliant materials, including specific gasket compounds (e.g., FDA-grade Silicone, EPDM), these dosing valves guarantee safety and meet stringent food industry regulations. Features include a sanitary design with smooth, cleanable surfaces, reliable sealing to prevent leaks in production areas, and compatibility with NSF H1 registered oils, greases (in suspension), and propellants. They provide accurate, hygienic lubrication essential for food safety and production line uptime.
Bullet Points:
Certified with NSF H1 compliant materials for incidental food contact safety.
Delivers precise dose uniformity to prevent overlubrication in food zones.
Features sanitary, crevice-free design with food-safe gaskets for easy cleaning.
Ensures compatibility with NSF H1 registered lubricants, silicones, and sanitizers.
Designed for reliable performance in wet, washdown-prone food factory environments.
Specific Application Scenario: Used in aerosol cans of NSF H1 registered conveyor chain lubricant within a meat processing plant. Maintenance staff apply precise metered sprays onto chain links at designated intervals, ensuring optimal lubrication without excess grease contaminating product or requiring frequent cleanup, complying with HACCP plans.
FAQ:
Q: Is the entire metered aerosol valve assembly NSF H1 registered?
A: Yes, we supply these valves as complete, assembled units where all components (housing, stem, spring, gasket) are sourced from suppliers with valid NSF H1 registration, and the final assembly is also registered under our NSF listing for incidental food contact lubrication.
Q: What gasket materials are used for NSF H1 dosing valves?
A: Primarily FDA-listed and NSF H1 registered Silicone or specific EPDM compounds, chosen for their safety, compatibility with food-grade lubricants/sanitizers, and temperature resistance.
Q: How does the sanitary design benefit food machinery applications?
A: The smooth surfaces, minimized crevices, and absence of threads or traps make the valves easy to wipe clean or rinse, reducing the risk of harboring bacteria or contaminants in food production environments.
Q: Can these valves dispense food-grade greases in aerosol suspension?
A: Yes, our food machinery valves are specifically designed with features like larger orifices and effective agitation systems (e.g., tilt balls) to handle the dispensing of suspended grease particles consistently without clogging.
Q: Do you provide full documentation for NSF H1 compliance audits?
A: Yes, we provide comprehensive documentation, including NSF Certificates for the valve assembly, Letters of Guarantee for each component, and full Material Declarations confirming compliance with FDA 21 CFR and NSF/ANSI 51 standards.
