Olocco Srl has been manufacturing valves and components for pneumatic conveying and metering since 1950. Its valves are used in the feeding, unloading and pneumatic conveying of any kind of product in grain or powder, in the food, chemical or plastic industry, with low, average, high-pressure lines. Olocco’s commitment has always been characterized by constant research from design to production of valves and accessories, ensuring the manufacturing of products at the top technical specifications, quality and safety. In recent years, the production department has undergone a profound renovation with the commissioning of new machining centres equipped with the most modern, flexible production systems, with high levels of automation for the handling of pieces, pallets, tools. New milling, boring and turning centres have produced a great increase of internal manufacturing capacity and brought our quality standards to ever-higher levels. During the last years, despite the difficult situation caused by the pandemic, Olocco has been able to complete the construction of the new office building and assembly department. All this demonstrates the will to grow and bet on the future.
In 1997, Olocco Srl obtained the quality certification UNI EN ISO9001:2015 and afterwards certified most of its products according to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. In 2007, it so started manufacturing rotary valves in accordance with EN15089:2009, the European Standard that describes the general requirements for explosion isolation systems.
Olocco Srl is also able to guarantee the food compatibility of the materials used in the manufacturing of any valve, in compliance with the provisions of EC Regulation No.1935/2004 concerning materials and objects in contact with food products (MOCA), and the EC Regulation No.2023/2006 on good manufacturing practices.
Due to the increase in demand for stainless steel components, the manufacturing of a new range of rotary valves, “UPH”, entirely built in AISI316 stainless steel, with unified round flanges according to UNI PN10 / DIN2576 standards, in the sizes from DN150 to 300 and flow rates from 3 to 37 litres/rev, is at an advanced stage. These valves will be also available in the quick disassembly version with extraction bars, “SMD”, typically to ensure the safety of the operators, to facilitate cleaning and general maintenance, inspection tasks or where rapid cleaning times are requested. A fully disassemblable rotor gives the possibility to clean it separately and remove any deposit. In advance inner surfaces can be completely polished and blended to meet the strictest hygienic standards in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
