Critical Valve Requirements

FSSAI food-grade compliance for all valves in contact with sugarcane juice, syrup, and molasses — SS304 or SS316L wetted parts; food-safe EPDM or platinum-cured silicone seats
Fire-safe valves (API 607) mandatory for all ethanol and rectified spirit service — ATEX Zone 1 actuated valves required in distillation and storage areas
IBR certification for all steam valves above 3.5 kg/cm² — Form III-C and III-E from manufacturer; no substitution
Molasses — highly viscous at ambient temperature; heat-traced jacketed pipelines; full-bore valves only to prevent blockage
Ethanol (95% and dehydrated 99.9%) — explosive vapour risk; anti-static and fire-safe design; no zinc or copper alloys (ethanol + CO₂ attacks zinc)
CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility — all food zone valves must withstand 80°C caustic soda and 60°C acid CIP cycles without seat damage

We offer export documentation and delivery to Cali in 7–14 business days with full documentation and third-party inspection.
What certifications are required for sugar & ethanol plants valves in Cali?
For sugar & ethanol plants in Cali, the applicable standards are: FSSAI (Food Safety), ASME B16.34, IBR 1950 (Steam), API 607 (Fire-Safe Ethanol), ATEX Zone 1 (Ethanol Area), IS 2825, API 598.

Express dispatch available for urgent site requirements. Contact us at +91-9979774557 or sales@vajravyuh.com with your specification and required delivery date.
Do sugar plant valves need FSSAI certification?
For valves in direct contact with food-grade products — sugarcane juice, sugar syrup, sugar crystals, and food-grade molasses — FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) requires that all contact materials be food-safe. In practice this means SS304 or SS316L wetted parts (no carbon steel or copper alloys) and food-safe elastomers (EPDM, platinum-cured silicone, or PTFE seats — no standard NBR). Vajra can supply valves with material test certificates confirming SS304/SS316L compliance suitable for FSSAI documentation.
Are fire-safe valves mandatory for ethanol storage and distillation?
Yes. Ethanol has a flash point of approximately 12°C (95% rectified spirit) and 13°C (99.9% anhydrous). The ethanol storage and distillation area is classified as ATEX Zone 1 (explosive atmosphere present intermittently) or Zone 2 (present infrequently). All valves in Zone 1 must be fire-safe (API 607) — the metal seat backup prevents external fire leakage even when the soft PTFE seat melts at ~260°C. Anti-static springs prevent electrostatic discharge. Actuated valves must carry ATEX Ex certification.
