Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage processing plants – distillers, refiners, brewers, millers, bakers, etc. – all have their own distinct flow, pressure, and temperature control challenges; but what they have in common is the need for predictability and operational efficiency. Undetected leaks, inconsistent mixtures, and unnecessary overflows can all impact product quality and increase plant maintenance costs.

Optimux works with many of the world’s most demanding Food & Beverage companies to create innovative control valve solutions that contribute to lowering plant operating costs and increasing product predictability.

For instance, to counteract the abrasive effects of slurry and mash handling, we deploy our CVD-5B Metal Hardening process on the trim – and often the body – of the affected valve to increase its useful life up to ten-fold; and our OpEXC Eccentric Plug Rotary Control Valve has a frictionless seating design to further reduce the erosive effect of solids in suspension. Optimux’s OpGL Globe Control Valves are ideal for steam and water handling/conditioning applications at pressures up to ANSI Class 4500.
