Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Large Particle Double Seat Valve
The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Large Particle and Large Particle-Flush (LP-F) Valves are versatile, highly flexible double block-and-bleed Valves for safe and efficient fluid management at intersection points in matrix piped systems. They enable two different products or fluids with large particles to flow through the same Valve at once with no cross-contamination risk.
Modular design and a wide variety of options mean these Valves can be customised for any process requirement – whether greater cleanability or higher pressure levels.

Unique Mixproof Large Particle 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
How the Unique Mixproof Large Particle Valve Works
The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof LP and LP-F Valves are normally closed (NC) and remotely operated using compressed air. These Valves feature two separate plugs and seals that divide the liquids, with a leakage chamber situated between them. While leakage is uncommon, any product that leaks flows into the chamber and is discharged through the bottom outlet for easy detection.
When the Valves are open, the leakage chamber is sealed, allowing product to flow between the two lines. The radial design minimises spillage during operation.
