In the food industry, frequent valve maintenance represents a real challenge: seals subject to wear, leaks, production downtime, and repeated technical interventions.

To effectively address these challenges, Officine Meccaniche Boiano has designed a new generation of valves with a completely innovative design, aimed at ensuring long-lasting durability and minimizing maintenance operations.

The difference starts with the internal technology:

Instead of traditional O-ring seals – often multiple and prone to premature wear – OMB valves use a single special seal, made of food-grade certified material, resistant to:

• intensive opening and closing cycles,
• frequent CIP (Clean-in-Place) washings,
• chemical agents, including acidic ones.

The benefits are immediately measurable:

A recent installation at one of our industrial clients saw the commissioning of 20 OMB valves. In just a few months, an average savings of 16 hours of weekly maintenance was recorded compared to the previous traditional valves.

The benefits in summary:

• A single highly resistant seal, instead of multiple O-rings
• Long-lasting durability, even in aggressive environments
• Reducing production downtime for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.
• Greater hygiene and safety thanks to the optimized design
• Food-grade certified materials, in compliance with European regulations

The new OMB valves are already available on the market and can be easily integrated into both new installations and as upgrades to existing systems.
