In many food or chemical processing plants, cleaning tanks and equipment is not always an easy task. The STVM® Hosedown Station solves this by delivering high temperature water using a unique vortex mixing valve, steam and water combine to form a constant stream of water at a designated temperature. The valve throttles open or closed based on output temperature and essentially eliminates the hose full of steam problem that is often encountered. Easily field serviceable, the mixing valve offers a resistance to mineral and scale buildup as well as quiet operation, reducing stress on the operator and increasing safety.
