Title: Diaphragm Valves for Large Swiss Biopharmaceutical Plant

In October 2018, the KSB Group’s SISTO Armaturen S.A. in Luxembourg started manufacturing several thousand diaphragm valves for a new production facility in Switzerland. The valves of the SISTO-C type series have been ordered for the construction of Lonza AG’s Ibex biopark in Visp (Valais). The new facilities will produce therapeutic substances of very high quality on a biotechnological basis. The valves will be delivered to Lonza AG as well as to various engineering contractors from Europe and China. All valves, including the multi-port valves, are manufactured in Echternach of quality forged steel 1.4435 (316L) and 1.4539 (AISI 904L). To meet the tough requirements of biopharmaceutical production processes, the diaphragms are made of EPDM or TFM with an EPDM backing diaphragm.
