Abstract
A sanitary pulse valve, USDA-certified for compliance with sanitary design standards, ensuring suitability for hygienic applications in food, dairy, and pharmaceutical processing is disclosed. The valve comprises a plunger body with first and second cylindrical chambers in constant fluid communication, where the second chamber includes a throttle valve chamber for regulating flow. A plunger assembly made from PEEK thermoplastic operates within the chambers, transitioning between open and closed positions to control fluid passage. The plunger assembly includes a sealing ring with an approximately 1/16-inch break for pressure equalization and an approximately 0.01-inch gap between the plunger and internal walls of the plunger body for precise fluid communication. The valve features an outlet body and a chamfered sealing edge (approximately 0.032 inches wide) disposed opposite the outlet port for tight sealing against the plunger body. All internal surfaces are RA32 finish or better, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
