Valves

ARCHON offers many types of valves for the brewing industry.

The most common are manual butterfly valves used to open and close fluid lines carrying beer, wine, juices, water, etc.  These valves can start, stop, regulate, and isolate fluid flow in pipelines and prevent backflow.  When the valve’s handle is rotated, internally a stem rotates the disc, or wafer, from the closed to open position.

We carry known brands such as Kieselmann and Tassalini butterfly valves as well as an economical style for budget-conscious customers.

In addition to butterfly valves ARCHON offers sampling valves and Pressure & Vacuum relief valves.

A sampling valve is a style used to allow the user to take a sample portion of a fluid to test, typically for the purposes of quality control as related to taste, visual appearance, integrity of product, color, and other product characteristics.

The primary purpose of a pressure relief valve (PRV) is to protect the life and property by venting fluid from an over-pressurized system.  The valve ensures that a vacuum-like situation does not occur in the system by allowing air inside the system.  A PRV is designed to automatically vent CO₂ gas from inside your fermenter at a set pressure.  Since spike fermenters are designed for 15psi, that’s what the All-In-One PRV is designed to release at.
