Norit Südmo goes with dairy processing like milk goes with cookies – one without the other just isn’t as good. Founded in 1954, specifically to supply valves and components to the dairy industry in Germany, Norit Südmo’s history is steeped in the fine art of dairy processing. Actually, the name Südmo is derived from the German words that mean "Southern dairy". When Norit Südmo valves were introduced to the North American market in 1995, the company immediately responded to the specific needs of U.S. producers, revolutionizing dairy processing with the introduction of mix proof technology. "Our know-how and focus on the dairy industry has led us to develop standard designs for many dairy applications, which have resulted in increased plant efficiency for our customers," says Jack Jordan, president of Südmo North America, Inc. "Our customer-driven Cheese Curd Outlet PMO Mix Proof Valve is one very good example of our innovations for the dairy market. We took what had been an issue for cheese producers and with the technology of our Cheese Curd Valve, installation is simplified and cheese vat systems are totally automated, increasing vat turn around." Throughout the dairy processing industry, Norit Südmo valves are known for their superior quality. This, combined with the technical expertise of Südmo North America’s staff, assures that dairy plants can reach maximum efficiency.

Leading in mix proof technology
While our competitors have been busy working on "breakthrough" designs in PMO mix proof valve technology, Norit Südmo has been busy perfecting it.
• Norit Südmo developed the leak-free design
• Norit Südmo was the first to machine the valve body from a solid bar of stainless steel
• Norit Südmo’s PMO Mix Proof Valve’s actuator is easy to maintain and comes with a five-year warranty
• Norit Südmo has the most experience in U.S. dairy applications using mix proof technology with hundreds of installations

Innovation continues
PMO regulations, which previously prevented dairy processors from cleaning the valve seats when product was on the other side of the valve, have now changed. In response, Norit Südmo developed the revolutionary new 365it™ PMO Mix Proof Valve. Processors no longer have to wait until the end of the day to clean valve clusters, leakage areas and lines. This can be done during the day as tanks and process pipelines are emptied and the lines to the fillers can be cleaned and re-used immediately, adding two or more hours of processing time each day. This revolutionary design, which meets the strict testing requirements of the FDA, mechanically prevents fluid impingement on the opposite seat during seat lift. The 365it™ PMO Mix Proof Valve also meets 3-A standards. Backed by Norit Südmo’s proven technology, superior service and extensive application know-how, you are assured that the Norit Südmo 365it™ PMO Mix Proof Valve gives you all the benefits of continuous operation.
