Sanitary diverter valve is a type of sanitary valve used to redirect the flow of liquids within a pipeline system. 

It is commonly applied in industries such as food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceuticals, where cleanliness and contamination control are critical.

How It Works

The Divert Valve switches product flow between different pipelines—for example, sending liquid to processing, storage, or cleaning (CIP) lines—without interrupting production.

Key Characteristics

Made from stainless steel (304 or 316L)
Smooth internal surface (typically ≤ Ra 0.8 μm) for easy cleaning
Designed to prevent contamination and residue buildup
Compatible with hygienic standards like 3A, DIN, and SMS

Typical Applications

Food and beverage processing
Dairy production lines
Pharmaceutical systems
Clean-in-Place (CIP) operations



In short, a sanitary diverter valve ensures flexible flow control while maintaining strict hygiene standards, 

making it an essential component in modern sanitary piping systems.
