The revolutionary full flow valve techs for IBC liners with
hygienic intergrated disposal valves.
In contrast with the common cutter membrane discharge system , the hygienic
liner-integrated valve operates as a simple but effective tap and offers
simple, clean partial discharge, savings of time and cost in the cleaning
of secondary valves and spillages; reduced risk of contamination; reduced
wastage of product. In addition, where there is a partial discharge of
product, that may be followed by a significant period of storage, before a further
discharge, that is a reduced risk of leakage.
Horen entered the IBC market by helping customers to develop a better valve
to meet higher requirements from the market. Businesses needed more unique
valves and looked to Horen as the innovator in the industry to develop
affordable valves and fittings for IBC’s.
The OptiFlow™ range of valves was designed with such a background and it
is the only portfolio of full flow hygienic liner-integrated valves for IBC
products available in the world. Unlike the traditional butterfly valves,
HOREN’s OptiFlow™ valve range provides a full unrestricted flow of product
during discharge, providing a 33% improvement in flow rates and reduction
in overall container discharge time.
New products are constantly being added to our portfolio many of which have
been specifically designed to solve the unique handling needs of our
clients. Should our existing range of products not fulfill your needs we
would be happy to discuss a new potential solution.
WE HAVE SOLVED THE WEAKNESSES OF EXISTING VALVES
Working closely with our customers, the Horen engineering team develops
fully capable manufacturing systems that meet and exceed customers’ quality and
time-to-market objectives. The effective program management and close customer communications
ensure that all expectations are met and a long-term, cost-effective manufacturing
solution is achieved.
The OptiFlow™ range of discharge valves have been on our drawing
board for nearly 3 years. We have taken the knowledge gained from finding the
weaknesses of existing valves on the markets and used it to create our own
patented cost effective ball valves. Some of these valve weaknesses are;
Low flow rates
Not useable for aseptic operations;
Heavy torque of valve handle;
Valves not resealing causing accidental product loss;
Tamper evident systems being difficult to operate.
OptiFlow™ FULL FLOW VALVE TECHS ACHIEVED THE MAXI-FLOW RATE
The flow rate of a conventional valve depends upon the degree of
opening, the pressure, and the shape. We use unique full flow valve member
shapes instead of the traditional butterfly valve to increase the flow rate.
OptiFlow™ ROPLUG DN50 VALVE STEAM CLEANABLE AND ASEPTIC
OptiFlow™ Roplug DN50 is a unique steam cleanable two inch valve. Our valve
enables our customers to fill and discharge aseptic products in liquid liners.
The Roplug DN50' structural design enables it to be cleaned with high
temperature steam for prolonged periods. The patented ball valve structure
design allows steam sterilization up to a temperature of 130
degrees Celsius(3 bar pressure for 30 minutes).
ONE-STEP TAMPER EVIDENCE
Horen has developed an innovation tamper evidence solution for
Roplug DN50 which is attached directly to the valve lid. The system is
easy to operate and provides a high level of security. Our simple valve
locking clip ensures that the valves have not been opened and therefore
protects your valuable product during transportation . You can customize
the
colours of the tamper evident ring and also print unique identification codes
on each individual tamper evident ring.
UNIQUE ROPLUG SEALING SYSTEM
OptiFlow™ Roplug DN50 has a retained gasket system which improves
the efficiency of the seal function. An Innovative ball driving system
reduces the heavy torque and allows the ball to be
easily maneuvered. A unique patented design enables the ball to engage
with, and then release from, the valve seal without friction. This makes the
valve easy to operate, maintains the integrity of the seal, and can be
operated over 300 times.
MORE THAN 10 PATENTS PENDING WORLDWIDE. TARGETING THE WORLD'S TOP
500 FOOD & COSMETIC COMPANIES
1. Unique innovative driving system allows the valve to be easily
opened and closed using low torque. When closed the ball valve member is drive
into place to press against the contoured gasket for better sealing.
2. LLDPE Gland is welded directly to liner. A special gasket
ensures good connection between the gland and valve without leaking rish.
3. Rollplug DN50 can be easily installed and uninstalled with
IBCs.
4. The Screw cap locks the handle in place avoiding accidental
opening of the valve and loss of product.
5. Double gaskets on Handle and ball in pin ensures anti-leak
function.
6. No obstacles in the valve channel maximize flow rate
7. All material EU and FDA approved.
8. TE Rings are pre-fitted with unique TE numbers which increase
security and protection from unanthorized use.
