Revolutionizing the Dairy Industry
In April 2007, in perhaps the greatest breakthrough in US dairy plant design in 25 years, GEA Tuchenhagen’s 24/7 PMO Valve® (FDA memorandum M-b-353) became the first mixproof valve to be authorized by the US regulatory authorities to allow seat cleaning while product is present in the valve. This means that US dairy plants no longer have to shut down production for two to three hours per day and can now reap the financial benefits of full 24/7 production. Overnight this valve has changed the way US dairy plants are designed and operated.
Most recently, the 24/7 PMO Tank Valve™ was added to the 24/7 PMO family of mixproof valves, becoming the first tank valve to hold an FDA Memorandum (M-b-359).
