There seems to be an endless option of VNE fittings for all different types of applications. The online fitting catalog allows you choose the specific option in fittings that will be essential to your production operation.
As a general categorical division, VNE offers fittings for the pharmaceutical as well as the food and beverage industry. They also produce valves as well as specialty fabrications, all with stainless steel materials.
The most common types of fittings offered by VNE for the food and beverage industries include:
- Weld fittings – these are fittings that are welding into the location in the system. Ideal for clean in place operations and where there is a permanent system configuration.
