GEA Tuchenhagen Flow Components, Portland, ME, has announced the introduction of the first PMO Mixproof valve to allow 24/7 nonstop production in US Dairy plants, resulting in substantial productivity gains for US Dairy processors.

Up until today, PMO regulations have not allowed the cleaning of a mixproof valve seat while product is present in one housing of the valve. As plant production must stop for cleaning of the valve seats, the flexibility of operation and productivity benefits associated with mixproof technology has up to now been greatly reduced.

However, due to its unique patented design, the PMO seat cleaning restriction has been lifted by the Regulatory Authorities for this new generation 24/7 PMO Valve from GEA Tuchenhagen.
This new valve is the only PMO mixproof valve currently available which meets the regulatory requirements under which the seat cleaning restriction can be removed.

The president of GEA Tuchenhagen Flow Components, Dave Medlar has said, “This is a huge breakthrough for the dairy industry, which will allow significant productivity increases and cost reductions for dairy facilities all over the US ”.
