The Evolution of PMO Compliancy and Mixproof Valves

One of the most effective advances in milk processing equipment was the development of mixproof valves, which allowed for the following improvements:

1. More flexibility of production
2. Reduced processing expenses
3. Greater annual capacity

With mixproof valves, dissimilar fluids in an automated piping system can be safely separated. This allows for production to continue while equipment is being cleaned. In March 2007, however, the “Grade A” PMO approved the use of seat-lift cleaning of mixproof valves whenever dairy products were contained in the opposite housing. With this substantial upgrade to mixproof valve technology, cleaning times were shortened significantly, and separate Clean-In-Place circuits were no longer necessary in order to clean valve seats.
