FRV (Flow Regulating Valve)
What are FRV (Flow Regulating Valve)?
Flow Regulating Valves (FRVs) are specialized valves designed to precisely control the flow rate of liquids in dairy and sanitary processing systems. FRVs operate through adjustable pressure springs or actuators, making them highly reliable in both manual and automated systems.
Asiad Steel Industries is a reputed manufacturer and exporter of high-performance Flow Regulating Valves (FRVs) engineered for hygienic applications in dairy, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Our valves are crafted to meet stringent industry standards for cleanability, durability, and accuracy.

Do you have questions?
How does an FRV regulate flow in dairy systems?
An FRV uses a spring or actuator mechanism to adjust valve opening based on flow pressure, maintaining a steady flow rate even when upstream or downstream pressure changes.
Can these valves be used in automated lines?
Yes. Our FRVs are available with pneumatic or electric actuators for seamless integration into automated systems.
Are FRVs compatible with CIP/SIP?
Absolutely. Our valves are designed with smooth internal surfaces and materials compatible with cleaning and sterilization agents.
What certifications do your FRVs follow?
Our valves comply with 3A, DIN, IDF, and ISO standards, ensuring full hygienic safety.
