Unique Mixproof Valve Key Features
Reliable and Cost-Effective
Manufacturers can depend on the Unique Mixproof CIP and Unique Mixproof Process Valves for cost-effective product protection. Utilising Alfa Laval’s double seat technology with seat lift, these Valves ensure that fluids remain separated, allowing for thorough cleaning and preventing contamination by harmful microorganisms. Their fully balanced design allows them to manage high pressure with ease, eliminating the risk of pressure shocks. Additionally, these Valves are certified to meet FDA, 3A, and other recognised industry standards.
Adaptable and Flexible
The Unique Mixproof CIP and Unique Mixproof Process Valves offer compact, modular designs that provide increased process flexibility. Available in various types and sizes to accommodate diverse applications, these Valves enable manufacturers to easily adjust to evolving process demands. Pairing them with Alfa Laval ThinkTop control units further enhances process control and operational flexibility.
Increased Sustainability
When paired with Alfa Laval ThinkTop, the new Unique Mixproof Valves significantly reduce product loss and offer up to 90% savings in water and CIP media usage. This decrease in CIP fluid consumption not only lowers the total cost of ownership but also minimises environmental impact across process industries. The result is a solution that benefits people, enhances business efficiency, and supports sustainability efforts.
How the Unique Mixproof Valve Works
The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve is a normally closed (NC) Valve controlled from a remote location with compressed air. The Valve has two independent plugs and seals to separate the liquids; the space between forms a leakage chamber. If leakage occurs, product flows into the leakage chamber and through the bottom outlet for easy detection.
When the Valve is open, the leakage chamber is closed. The product then flows from one line to the other. The radial Valve design ensures virtually no spillage during Valve operation. It is possible to adapt Valve cleaning and water hammer protection to the requirements of individual process specifications.
