Valves can be cleaned without dismantling

Coperion Waeschle of Weingarten, Germany, recently introduced what is believed to be a world first: rotary and diverter valves with CIP (cleaning-in-place) capability which can now be wet cleaned in situ fully automatically. This patent-pending development allows operators of food-grade bulk handling systems to meet the most stringent hygiene standards with only negligible loss of available capacity. www.coperion.com
