Tank Bottom Valve
The hygienic tank bottom valve is a valve attached to the bottom of the tank to drain the tank, fill the tank or empty it when needed.
The tank bottom valve is usually welded to the lowest point in the bottom of the tank to be used as the outlet valve. This allows the tank to be completely emptied, cleaned and sterilized. In addition, Tank bottom valves can also be mounted or welded to the tank cover or tank wall.

Tank Bottom Valve Application
While tank bottom valves are designed for operations such as emptying the tank or taking samples, they minimize internal chambering and may be specifically designed to prevent the growth of bacteria or microorganisms. The design of such valves may be such as to ensure complete emptying of the inner chamber and may also be designed to meet cleanliness and hygiene standards.
Such valves generally have hygienic designs and use smooth surfaces inside to avoid corners and recesses. This makes cleaning operations more effective and prevents the build-up of bacteria or microorganisms. Additionally, tank bottom valves may be designed to prevent backflow of liquid during sampling or draining operations, reducing the risk of undesirable contamination.
These features enable tank bottom valves to be used safely and hygienically in industrial applications and help maintain the quality of liquid products.
