Dixon offers the right connection for your

hygienic fittings and adapters to food/
beverage standard hose assemblies
and actuated valves to the food, dairy,
beverage, brewery, cosmetic, chemical and
pharmaceutical industries.
Over the last 30 years Dixon has
significantly extended its range of Valves,
Fittings and Couplings for the Hygienic
markets through product development
and acquisition.
Of particular note is Dixon’s range of high
quality process valves which include ball,
butterfly, diaphragm, seat, sample, and
mix-proof valves which can be actuated to
customer specifications and fitted with a
range of stocked accessories that includes
limit switches, solenoids and positioners.
The Dixon Breakaway Check Valve is an
innovative solution that is designed to
eliminate product loss too. It incorporates
the Breakaway Coupling and a Hygienic
Check Valve. It acts as a single unit that has
a diverted breaking point which will break
at a determined break-load. Then the check
valve will close protecting the loading bay
pipe system and avoiding product spillage.
The new compact sight glass launched
in 2018 is used widely in food, dairy and
beverage hygienic processes to view
products and fluids. This design is perfect
for hoses and high traffic areas due to
its Lexan™ glass and a stainless steel
body construction. Ideal for arduous
applications, heavy manual handling, high
traffic and high activity areas to provide
site added protection and asset security.
The sight glass is available as one
of the many hygienic hose fittings
complementary to Dixon’s extensive
hygienic hose range which now includes
Heat Traced, Hot Water Thermal and Duplex
hose assemblies as part of the standard
range along with a range of rubber,
silicone, PVC and PTFE hose assemblies
