Food & Beverage sector

Food-grade stainless steel components for pasteurisation, sterilisation, CIP, brewing, winemaking and dairy processing. HACCP-compliant materials and finishes.

Hygiene, safety and traceability

The food and beverage industry demands components that meet strict hygiene standards. Every valve, fitting and pipe in contact with the product must be made from food-grade materials (typically AISI 316L stainless steel), with smooth internal surfaces to prevent bacterial buildup, and fully traceable documentation.

Valves

Stainless steel ball valves, butterfly valves and control valves with electropolished finish. Tri-clamp and DIN connections. Pneumatic actuators for automated CIP cycles.

Pipes and fittings

AISI 316L pipes with pickled or electropolished finish. Stainless fittings to DIN 11850 / DIN 11851 dairy standard. Press-fit systems for fast hygienic installation.

Heat exchangers

Plate heat exchangers for pasteurisation, heating and cooling. Gasketed versions for easy cleaning and FDA-approved gasket materials.

Pumps

Stainless steel centrifugal and multistage pumps for CIP, product transfer and pressurisation. Hygienic design with mechanical seal.

Domande frequenti

What materials comply with EU Regulation 1935/2004 for food contact?
Compliant materials include AISI 304 and AISI 316L stainless steel, EPDM and PTFE seals approved for food contact, and certified plastics such as PP-H and PVDF. All components must have a declaration of conformity to EU 1935/2004 and, for US markets, also FDA 21 CFR. Roffia supplies certified food-grade components from Cremona, Italy.
What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316L for food use?
AISI 304 is the standard for general food applications (water, wine, milk, beer). AISI 316L contains molybdenum for superior resistance to chloride and acid corrosion — it is mandatory for saline environments, concentrated organic acids and aggressive CIP detergents. For most winemaking and dairy applications, 304 is sufficient; for chemically aggressive processes, choose 316L.
What are CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems?
CIP is an automated cleaning system that washes and sterilises piping, tanks and equipment without disassembly. It requires butterfly or diaphragm valves with full shut-off, centrifugal pumps for detergent circulation, sanitary fittings without dead legs, and steam traps for steam sterilisation phases. Roffia supplies all certified CIP components.
