Flying start: the Evoguard valve series
Krones AG’s series of valves, produced by subsidiary Evoguard GmbH and unveiled at the recent BrauBeviale in Nuremberg, can be considered as a success. So far, more than 150,000 valves have been produced: disk valves, seat valves, double-seat valves, aseptic seat valves and aseptic double-seat valves.
"The Evoguard series of valves has been optimally tailored to the needs of the food and beverage industries, and of the dairy sector too," explains Martin Zierer, Managing Director of Evoguard GmbH. "The most important requirement applying when we were designing the valves was excellent functionality in actual use, incorporating high-performance seal systems that meet all the hygiene-related stipulations involved." The use of the latest materials available for producing the seals has proved to be a good choice for both the disk valves and for the seat and double-seat valves, creating several advantages in process applications. In addition, the parts can be precisely traced and identified using a matrix code.
The Evoguard valves are produced in the Upper Palatinate town of Nittenau, where the 4,000 square meter production and administrative building accommodates the R&D, design, sales, manufacturing and assembly departments.
