Gericke USA rotary valves feature a new system that permits valve disassembly, without tools, for cleaning and visual inspection. Set in the non-drive end of the rotary valve, the bearing assembly uses a self-aligning rotor design that allows the rotor to be accessed and cleaned without removal from the end cover and the bearings to be replaced without removing the valve from the processing line. Developed for use in food and dairy processes, the system is included as standard on USDA-certified stainless-steel HDMF Series rotary valves.
