Filling valves

KESTERMANN filling valves are special valves for use even under challenging industrial conditions. Their key features include:

Compact design suitable for industry

Easy cleaning

Simple maintenance

Filling valve design

For filling in two stages: COARSE-FINE. The design is based on a hemisphere that offers little resistance to the product flow. The product-conducting inner walls have a smooth surface and are clearly visible from the outside. The valve neck features a centring groove for easy positioning in the valve receptacle. The valve tappet forms the connection to the valve cylinder. It does not come into contact with the product. A pressure spring closes the valve securely in the event of mains or air failure. In the standard version, the valve plug opens outwards.

Filling types: professional filling

Above-surface Filling
Above-surface / below-bunghole filling
Partial below-surface filling
Below-surface filling

  • Valve inlet with hygienic coupling
  • Flare flange ND6, DIN2641
  • Steel valve
  • Valve seal: tappet via 2 elastomer-supported Teflon seals and valve outlet via special Teflon seal
  • Pneumatic valve drive
  • Hinged clamp for rapid valve change and mounting bracket
  • Including solenoid valves

Above-surface filling

  • Open containers
  • Non-foamy product
  • Suitable for dosing non-foamy products
  • Nominal sizes from NW31 to NW100
  • No filling nozzle

Above-surface / below-bunghole filling

  • Containers with bunghole
  • Non-foamy product

Partial below-surface filling

  • Open containers or containers with bunghole
  • Slightly foamy product
  • First, the product is filled above the surface; as the product level rises, the filling nozzle dips into the product (below-surface filling)
  • Suitable for below-bunghole-above-surface dosing
  • Nominal sizes from NW14 to NW54
  • Filling nozzle length 365 mm

Partial below-surface filling valve 902

  • Suitable for below-bunghole-above-surface dosing
  • Nominal sizes from NW14 to NW54
  • Filling nozzle length 365 mm

Below-surface filling

  • Open containers or containers with bunghole
  • Foamy product or product with static charge in explosive environment
  • The filling nozzle is lowered to just above the bottom of the container
  • Filling starts immediately with below-surface filling

Below-surface filling valve 903
  • Suitable for below-bunghole-below-surface dosing
  • Nominal sizes from NW14 to NW54
  • Filling nozzle length 565 or 1165 mm
  • Bellows seal
  • Valve opens inwards
  • Straight product flow without lateral scattering
  • Product flow reduced by approx. 30%
  • Heating jacket
  • Bypass arrangement
  • Heating jacket for bypass
  • Polished inside (food-safe)
  • Parallel inlet
  • Connection flange
  • Stainless steel valve V2A-4541, V4A-4571
  • Polypropylene plastic valve with Teflon bellows seal
  • Valve seal steel to steel or stainless steel to stainless steel
  • Three-stage valve design: COARSE-FINE-FINEST
  • Proximity switches for signalling valve position
  • Solenoid valves and proximity switches in ex design
