Bray's solutions in the Food & Beverage industry

The hygienic demands of the food and beverage industry require valves that prevent contamination and bacterial growth, particularly in areas where the product comes into direct contact with process equipment. Bray Controls designs and manufactures valve solutions with smooth internal finishes and FDA-approved materials to eliminate crevices and areas where food particles could accumulate. These valves are crafted with high-grade stainless steel and inert materials to ensure they are non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with aggressive cleaning chemicals.

Through its Micro Pure Series 7500 and 7700, Bray offers fully stainless steel 3-piece ball valves designed specifically for high-purity applications in food production. These valves feature FDA-approved PTFE seats and seals, internal surfaces polished to 15–20 Ra, and are available with quick-clamp or extended tube connections to support seamless integration into CIP systems. For manufacturers who require validation and traceability, Bray also provides options such as body cavity inserts, additional electropolishing, and comprehensive bag/tag documentation for FDA and EFSA compliance.
 

Supporting Utility and Process Systems in Food & Beverage Plants

Beyond product contact valves, the food and beverage industry relies heavily on utility systems for temperature control, cleaning, sterilization, and mechanical support. Bray Controls Benelux delivers robust valve technologies for utility applications such as steam lines, compressed air, chilled water, nitrogen, and chemical cleaning systems. These valves support critical processes like external equipment washdowns and sterilization, making them essential for operational efficiency and plant safety.

The Series 20/21 butterfly valves and F15/F30 flanged ball valves are engineered to perform reliably in high-cycle utility environments. Whether installed on steam supply lines, tank bottoms, or CIP chemical loops, Bray’s utility valves offer dependable operation and long service life. With a reputation for rugged construction and low-maintenance performance, Bray utility valve solutions are preferred across food and beverage facilities for their dependability and support.
