Precise, efficient actuation for food and beverage processing
Dosing, CIP, filling and utility valves need repeatable movement and minimal downtime. RIFT’s SMART actuators bring modulation, speed control and diagnostics to the line.
Downtime is expensive
An unplanned valve failure can stop a line and waste product.
Typical applications
- Clean-in-place (CIP)
- Dosing & blending
- Filling lines
- Process water
- Utilities
Hygienic processingHow RIFT helps: Food & beverage
Repeatable positioning
Accurate modulation for dosing and blending.
Speed control
Gentle valve movement reduces hammer and product damage.
Diagnostics
See changes before they stop the line.
Energy efficient
Lower electrical demand than conventional designs.
