At Solpharma we work with leading partners such as Valve Engineering, a leading manufacturer of hygienic valves and sampling systems for the pharmaceutical industry.
Their valves feature a GMP design, created for easy cleaning and maintenance, with product-contact parts made of AISI 316L and structural components in AISI 304. They incorporate seals available in different materials (silicone, PTFE, EPDM or FFKM) to suit the requirements of each process.
All Valve Engineering valves are designed and manufactured entirely in Italy, ensuring high standards of quality, reliability and compliance with the most demanding GMP requirements.
Thanks to this partnership, at Solpharma we offer our customers robust valve and sampling technologies that are hygienic and integrate seamlessly into pharmaceutical processes.

Oyster™ Lumpbreaker
This lumpbreaker valve is the ideal solution for breaking up lumps that can form in bulk powders and other solid products during storage or transport.
In the pharmaceutical industry, these agglomerates can seriously affect subsequent handling and processing operations if they are not managed effectively.
Using the lumpbreaker therefore improves product quality and reduces downtime in downstream processes.
Oyster™ Compact System
The Oyster™ Compact valve features the patented Clamshell clamp system, widely recognized as the most compact, hygienic and user-friendly valve on the market.
It is available in a range of sizes suitable for powder handling, from DN100 (4″) to DN300 (12″). The standard version comes with TC connections for maximum compatibility with host system connections and can easily be customized when required.
All Oyster™ hygienic valves are designed to cGMP standards for trouble-free operation and easy maintenance.
Oyster™ Flowmaster
This valve is the most widely used option for standard dosing applications, thanks to its simple, reliable and cost-effective design.
It offers excellent cost-efficiency, as it shares many components with the Compact Series butterfly valve range, making installation and maintenance easier.
It provides a complete seal in the closed position and is operated by a 180° pneumatic actuator. Dosing volumes can be adjusted, making it ideal for low flow rates, large chute diameters and sticky products.
Oyster™ Composite
The Oyster™ Composite valve is designed for high-precision discharge and volumetric dosing of powders and is particularly suitable for pack-off systems.
Its design combines a main valve for bulk discharge with a fine dosing head, ensuring maximum accuracy and productivity.
Proportional closing via a 4-20 mA positioner optimises control as the target weight is reached. For stickier products, a bridgebreaker can be added. Designed to cGMP standards, it offers a hygienic design, easy maintenance and high-quality finishes.
Super Oyster™
Designed for high-containment applications in HPAPI environments, where operator safety and environmental protection are essential.
· Fully open passage, optimizing product flow compared with traditional butterfly valves
· Lower risk of product retention and contamination
· Ideal for charging reactors and isolators, sampling and cleanrooms
· Quick, simple dismantling for efficient cleaning and validation
· Design adapted to the most demanding protocols of the pharmaceutical industry
Oyster™ Tablet
Oyster™ Tablet valves are designed for the safe handling of tablets and capsules, minimizing the risk of damage during the process.
They feature a flexible FDA silicone flap that replaces the stainless steel one and protects the product at every closure.
Designed to cGMP standards, they ensure reliable operation and easy cleaning and maintenance. Their hygienic design eliminates dead zones and hard-to-reach corners, and they are manufactured to the highest pharmaceutical quality standards.
Oyster™ Samplemaster
Oyster™ Samplemaster valves allow safe sampling of powders and granules directly from process equipment without altering internal temperature, pressure or vacuum conditions. They are available in intrusive and non-intrusive versions to suit the needs of each application, especially vacuum dryers.
Designed to cGMP standards, they offer a hygienic design with no dead zones, easy cleaning and maintenance, and customizable mounting and connection options for the sampling system. They are manufactured to high-precision tolerances with finishes that meet the most demanding pharmaceutical industry standards.
