The new Waukesha Cherry-Burrell D4PMO valve for dairy complies with 3-A sanitary standard 85-02 for Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) in the US.  

The Waukesha Cherry-Burrell D4PMO valve is the latest addition to SPX® FLOW’s D4 Series double seat mix proof portfolio. It is designed for the US dairy market in line with the latest 3-A sanitary standard 85-02 for Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO).

The D4 Series of valves, which have been extremely popular since their release in 2018, according to SPX, are now well proven in processes across the beverage, brewery, food, dairy, personal care, and other sanitary applications around the world. They offer reliable separation of dissimilar products during continuous processing, with assured separation of clean-in-place (CIP) fluids. The D4PMO is based on the already proven design of the core D4 mix proof range with additional features to meet PMO standards, such as maintaining zero pressure within the vent cavity and the impingement of CIP fluid during seat lift operation.

To manage seat lift detection, the D4PMO valve includes the advanced CU4plus control unit as standard. This unit has an innovative fully integrated position and seat lift detection with internal sensors, which eliminates external wiring to avoid disruptive adjustments and potential damage during handling or washdown. This smart control unit, combined with the clever design of the valve unit, make the overall D4PMO solution ideal to meet the high integrity demands of the US dairy market.

The valve is lightweight and uses a common seal kit across multiple size ranges. Based on a combination of expertise and experience from the SPX FLOW Waukesha Cherry-Burrell® and APV® brands and proven performance of the standard D4 valve model, the D4PMO promises to be a reliable, efficient, and safe workhorse for the dairy industry. Some dairies in the USA have already selected and installed the D4PMO, where it has proven to be a reliable solution to reduce the need for operator intervention, lower the risk of contamination, and increase efficiency and productivity over antiquated flow panels and simpler valve types.
