When it comes to hygienic processing, choosing the right valve isn’t just about flow control — it’s about process integrity, cleanability, and uptime.
Here’s a quick comparison between the LIAG® arc valve (for pigging and process applications) and a standard ball valve in hygienic environments:
The LIAG® valve offers clear advantages in hygiene and cleanability thanks to its dead-zone-free construction and full CIP/SIP compatibility, which help minimise product hold-up and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.
In comparison, conventional ball valves can trap product and contaminants in the cavities around the ball, making thorough cleaning more difficult and less reliable. Additionally, the LIAG® valve is purpose-built for pigging systems, enabling high product recovery with minimal waste.
✅ In short, while ball valves may suit general-purpose or utility tasks, LIAG® valves are engineered for the rigorous demands of hygienic processing — where product quality, cleanability, and efficiency are non-negotiable.
