The valve ring distribution system on Vesta sterile valves (photo) allow complex processing using different operating, cleaning and sterilization media. Compared with conventional systems with single valves or complex and expensive valve blocks, the single-seat valves in the Vesta Multiport distribution system are located pocket-free in a ring with an appropriate annular passage section. A maximum of six isolation valves can be located in both the inlet and return circuits, and it is possible to have different valve sizes in one ring. The Multiport also allows different flow directions for the inlet and return pipework, with fixed grid spacings. — GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH, Büchen, Germany
