Sanitary Food-Grade Metered Aerosol Valves for Edible Oils & Food Service Sprays with Easy Cleaning and Compliant Materials.
Product Description:
Ensure safety and precision in food-related applications with our specialized metered aerosol valves. Designed for dispensing edible oils, pan releases, food lubricants, and sanitizing sprays within commercial kitchens and food processing, these valves meet stringent food safety standards. The core metering chamber is engineered for consistent, controlled dose uniformity, allowing chefs and workers to apply exact amounts of product, minimizing waste and ensuring consistent results (e.g., oiling a grill). Manufactured using FDA-compliant materials, including specific gasket compounds (e.g., FDA-grade EPDM, Silicone) suitable for direct or indirect food contact, these dosing valves prioritize hygiene. Features often include a clean-in-place (CIP) friendly design with smooth surfaces and minimal crevices, and smooth actuation. Compatibility with common food-grade propellants and formulations is assured. These valves provide reliable, measurable dispensing crucial for food safety protocols, portion control, and operational efficiency in demanding culinary and food service environments.
Bullet Points:
Manufactured with FDA-compliant materials for food safety (direct/indirect contact).
Delivers precise dose uniformity for portion control and consistent application.
Features sanitary design with smooth surfaces and food-safe gaskets.
Ensures compatibility with edible oils, releases, and food-service sanitizers.
Designed for reliability and easy cleaning in commercial kitchen environments.
Specific Application Scenario: Used in aerosol cans of food-grade release agent for bakery production lines. Workers apply a precise, metered spray onto baking molds between each use, ensuring consistent release without over-application that could affect product quality or create residue buildup, while meeting strict food safety regulations.
FAQ:
Q: Are your metered aerosol valves certified for direct food contact?
A: Our food-grade valves are manufactured using components compliant with FDA 21 CFR regulations for indirect food contact. Specific suitability for direct contact depends on the formulation and application; we provide full material disclosure to support your compliance assessment.
Q: What gasket materials are used for food-safe dosing valves?
A: We primarily use FDA-listed EPDM or Silicone gasket compounds, chosen for their compatibility with edible oils, fats, and food-service sanitizers, ensuring safety and seal integrity.
Q: How easy are these valves to clean in a commercial kitchen setting?
A: They feature a sanitary design with smooth surfaces and minimal seams to facilitate wiping clean. Some designs are optimized for more thorough cleaning procedures. The materials resist common cleaning chemicals used in food service.
Q: Can these valves dispense high-viscosity edible oils consistently?
A: Yes, our food service valve range includes options specifically designed with optimized metering chambers and pathways to handle higher viscosity edible oils and release agents effectively, maintaining dose uniformity.
Q: Do you offer documentation proving FDA compliance?
A: Yes, we provide full Material Declarations and Statements of FDA Compliance for all components used in our food-grade metering valves to support your regulatory requirements.
