In modern processing industries, hygiene, durability, and operational efficiency are critical for valves used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage systems. The forged quick clamp ball valve combines forged stainless steel construction with quick clamp installation, providing both mechanical strength and hygienic compliance.
Forged valves are manufactured by high-pressure forging, which creates a densely structured, corrosion-resistant valve body, making them more durable than cast or welded alternatives. The quick clamp connection allows for fast installation and maintenance, ensuring minimal downtime in production lines.
This type of valve is ideal for applications requiring:
Hygienic process compliance (CIP/SIP)
Resistance to chemical corrosion
High-pressure and high-temperature operation
Rapid installation or frequent maintenance
A forged quick clamp ball valve is a hygienic quarter-turn valve with a forged stainless steel body and a tri-clamp quick connection. It is widely used for flow control, isolation, and automated operations in demanding process systems.
Valve Body: Forged 316L stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
Ball: Precision-machined stainless steel or coated for chemical and sanitary applications.
Seal / Seat: PTFE, FKM, or TFM seals for hygienic and chemical-resistant performance.
Quick Clamp Ends: Tri-clamp design for tool-free installation.
Actuation: Manual lever or optional pneumatic/electric actuators.
The combination of forged durability and quick clamp convenience ensures that this valve is reliable, easy to maintain, and compatible with sanitary systems.
Made from 316L stainless steel forged under high pressure, resulting in a dense, corrosion-resistant, and durable body.
Superior to cast or welded valves in terms of mechanical strength and longevity.
Electropolished internal surfaces ensure hygienic compliance and smooth flow.
Enables tool-free assembly and fast disassembly for cleaning or maintenance.
Supports CIP and SIP processes without removing the valve from the pipeline.
Ideal for systems requiring frequent inspection or reconfiguration.
Polished surfaces prevent microbial growth.
Fully compliant with 3-A Sanitary Standards, FDA, EHEDG, and ASME BPE.
Suitable for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic production lines.
PTFE, FKM, or TFM seals are resistant to acids, alkalis, solvents, and other aggressive media.
Forged stainless steel body can withstand high-concentration chemicals and cleaning agents.
Designed to operate under vacuum to 10 bar pressure, depending on size and seal type.
Handles temperatures from -20°C to +150°C, suitable for hot/cold process fluids.
Can be equipped with pneumatic or electric actuators for remote or automated operation.
Position feedback options integrate with PLC, SCADA, or DCS systems.
Minimal footprint for tight process lines.
Modular components (actuator, seals, quick clamp) enable easy maintenance and replacement.
Forged quick clamp ball valves perform several critical roles in sanitary and chemical processes:
Precisely regulate liquids or gases in pipelines, tanks, and processing equipment.
Provide leak-proof isolation between process stages to prevent contamination.
Maintain stable flow even under high temperature or pressure conditions.
Fully compatible with CIP/SIP for hygienic cleaning cycles.
Supports remote control, timed operations, and system feedback for automated production.
Forged construction ensures high mechanical strength and longer service life.
Electropolished surfaces prevent bacterial growth and facilitate cleaning.
Compatible with harsh chemicals, acids, alkalis, solvents, and cleaning agents.
Quick clamp connections reduce downtime and simplify maintenance.
Supports pneumatic or electric actuation for precise process control.
Ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and cosmetic industries.
High-quality PTFE/FKM/TFM seats ensure leak-proof operation.

The forged quick clamp ball valve operates via quarter-turn rotation:
Open Position: The hollow ball aligns with the pipeline, allowing fluid flow.
Closed Position: Ball rotates 90° to seal against seats, preventing flow.
Optional pneumatic or electric actuators provide automated operation with position feedback, ensuring precise control and integration with process automation systems.
Ensure proper alignment with pipeline and tank ports.
Check clamp gaskets and tightness for leak-free assembly.
Verify actuator or manual handle orientation.
Perform functional testing prior to operation.
Inspect seals for wear and chemical degradation.
Clean internal surfaces during CIP/SIP cycles.
Lubricate actuator components if applicable.
Replace insulation or gaskets when damaged.
