AVM has developed a new SBV passive valve cleaning stand designed for cleaning the passive valve in a split butterfly valve (SBV) system. This 4-inch unit integrates a pneumatic lifting assembly and a cleaning ball, providing a 450 mm lifting stroke and an adjustable operating speed of 20–50 mm/s.

Equipment must maintain consistent flow, minimize product residue, support effective cleaning, and protect product quality throughout the manufacturing process. A Sanitary Rotary Valve is designed to address these challenges by combining controlled material discharge with hygienic equipment design.

AVM's technical team has introduced two new products to its sales colleagues: a discharge valve and an air-sealed knife gate valve. Using engineering models and sectional views, the team brought the discussion beyond product names and into the components behind them.

A Rapid Transfer Port RTP provides a controlled interface for moving materials, components, tools, samples, or waste between an isolated process and its surrounding environment without unnecessarily exposing the critical zone. By combining an Alpha port, Beta container, mechanical interlocking structure, and controlled docking procedure, an RTP system can help reduce contamination, cross-contamination, operator exposure, and process interruption. This article explains how RTP technology works, where it is used, what performance factors matter, and how AVM Extraordinary Intelligent Control Equipment Co., Ltd. approaches aseptic and high-containment transfer applications.

A reliable sampling valve is more than a simple shut-off component. It plays an important role in obtaining representative process samples while reducing contamination, leakage, operator exposure, and product loss. In chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, petrochemicals, water treatment, and other industrial applications, the right sampling valve can improve sample accuracy and make routine sampling safer and more efficient.

Material transfer is one of the critical steps in pharmaceutical and biotechnology production. Moving materials between an isolated processing area and the surrounding environment can create risks of contamination, exposure, or loss of containment if the transfer method is not properly designed. An Aseptic High Containment Alpha Port RTP provides a controlled interface for transferring materials through an isolation barrier while maintaining the separation between the internal and external environments.
