Koltek Valves
Alfa Laval Koltek Shutter Valve
The Alfa Laval Koltek Valve is a stainless-steel diverter shutter Valve used in process industries with stringent requirements on hygiene and performance. Also known as the MH Koltek Shutter Valve, it is a flexible solution with a three-port flow for easy in-line flow diversion. The Valve is easy to operate, maintain and upgrade from manual to automated operation.
Compact and hygienic, this diverter Shutter Valve transfers processing fluids while ensuring minimal pressure loss and maximum hygiene. It is also easy to maintain, even when welded directly into a pipeline.
Koltek Valve Benefits

How the Koltek Valve Works
The Alfa Laval Koltek Valve is operated with a handle or an actuator. A spring system presses the shutter against the inside surface of the Valve body to ensure complete tightness.
The air-actuated Valve can be fitted with an Alfa Laval ThinkTop V50 or V70 control unit, or a laterally-installed indication unit to indicate Valve position.
The manual Valve can be fitted with indication units installed laterally. The Valve Actuator comes in two versions: single- or double-acting Actuator. The single-acting Actuator uses one main piston, while the double-acting Actuator uses two.
