Mixproof Valves

Mixproof valves are an essential part of sanitary flow proces-sing, separating two different products, but also preventing product contamination from other non-sanitary fluids. Mixproof means no mixing of incompatible liquids, but when thinking in terms of processing, the task is to obtain mixproof solutions while at the same time using as few resources as possible.

In effect, one double-seat valve can do the job of two or three single-seat valves, saving you space and installation costs, and providing you with unmatched system flexibility. Alfa Laval offers several mixproof valves, all with simple and cost-effective maintenance.

Unique Mixproof ValvesAlfa Laval’s Unique mixproof valve concept offers you custom-ized and modular solutions that exactly fit your application or demands. The reliable valve is spillage-free during operation providing optimum hygienic conditions, and the SpiralClean system cleans more efficiently and uses less cleaning fluid. The valve requires minimal service and maintenance.

To assist you in your valve selection, you will find outlined below some standard configurations of our Unique mixproof valves:

Unique Basic – for low cost and CIP solutionsUnique SeatClean – for standard solutionsUnique HighClean – for high hygienic solutionsUnique UltraClean – the highest hygienic solution

Unique-TO – Tank OutletUnique-TO is specifically designed for mixproof operation and safe tank outlet operations, where cleaning of pipelines up to the bottom of the tank is required. The design offers seat lift cleaning inside the tank. When choosing “Unique-TO with external cleaning” the valve can run under aseptic like condi-tions, when using steam to the CIP pipes. The design of the balanced plug in the pipeline eliminates the risk of pressure hammer. Excellent cleanability is ensured by the integrated seat lift.

Single-Seat Valves

SRC – Sanitary Remote-Controlled ValveAlfa Laval’s air-actuated SRC sanitary remote control valve uses the technology upon which we have built our seat valve series. It requires only a few simple moving parts for operation, making it an extremely reliable and hygienic design for stopping or diverting product flow in single or multi-directional systems.

The SRC consists of a field reversible actuator, double rubber lip seal, plug and valve bodies. The flat seat design means longer seat life. All components are assembled by means of clamp rings and a stem clip-system. There is no O-ring or O-ring groove, so contaminates cannot migrate or collect within. The valve is based on a modular design concept that enables parts within the line to be interchangeable, reducing the burden and cost of carrying a large inventory of spare parts.

ARC – Aseptic Remote-Controlled Valve Based on the SRC valve design, the ARC is an aseptic seat valve with a PTFE diaphragm or steel bellows. It can meet most operating conditions, such as high sterilization tempera-tures. The valve is characterized by excellent cleanability and smooth product treatment. It is available as a stop valve or change-over valve.

SMOA manually operated valve for a wide range of applications.

ARCAn aseptic valve well-suited for high sterilization temperatures.

SRCAn extremely reliable and hygienic design.

SRC-LS – Sanitary Long-Stroke ValveSRC-LS is specially suited for use in sanitary and non-sani-tary applications, where suspended solids or high viscosity products are processed. This has been achieved by increasing the stroke of the valve plug considerably compared to the standard SRC valve.

The valve is operated by means of compressed air and can be supplied with or without a spring return. It has few and simple moving parts which results in a very reliable valve.

Small Single Seat Valve

The Small Single Seat Valve with its sanitary and flexible design is applicable for a wide range of tasks either as a stop valve

The ARC is operated by means of compressed air and can be supplied with or without a spring return. The specially desig-ned PTFE/rubber diaphragm unit ensures sterile stem sealing towards the atmosphere, and does not allow product residues to build up on the product contact surface.

SMO and SMO-R – Sanitary Manual ValvesThe sanitary and flexible design of the SMO valve can be used in a wide range of applications, e.g. as a stop valve with two or three ports or as a change-over valve with three to five ports. SMO-R is a regulating valve used for manual control of pres-sure and flow.

The valves permit gradual opening and the few and simple moving parts result in very reliable valves that are easy to dismantle. SMO and SMO-R are manually operated versions of the SRC valve. As the main parts are identical, the SMO can easily be converted into an SRC valve.

The valve can be ordered either as a stop valve with two or three ports or as a change over valve with three to five ports. The Small Single Seat Valve is remote-controlled or manually operated and due to few moving parts the small valve is very reliable.


Regulating Valves

CPM-2 – Constant Pressure Modulating ValveThe Alfa Laval air-actuated CPM-2 valve series is designed to maintain either constant inlet or constant outlet pressure – important for such applications as pasteurization, separation, filling systems, filters, filtration and heat exchangers.

Inside, a diaphragm/valve plug system reacts immediately to any alteration of product pressure and changes position so that the pre-set pressure is maintained. The valve operates with a pressure-regulating valve for the compressed air and a pressure gauge in the product line.

The optimum body design of the CPM-2 results in several product benefits, such as excellent cleanability. As the inlet is tangential to the bottom of the valve body there is no sump. One special plug allows very low capacities and high CIP flow.

Sanitary Ball Valves

SBV – Sanitary Ball ValveThe full bore design with zero flow restriction makes SBV the optimum choice for viscous or particulate liquids. Applications include the food and beverage industry, as well as the pharma-ceutical and chemical industries. Furthermore, the full bore design makes the SBV applicable for pigging systems. The valve can be operated by a pneumatic actuator or manually by means of a handle.

SPC-2 – Sanitary Electro-Pneumatic Modulating ValveThe SPC-2 is a sanitary valve for use in stainless steel pipe systems. Typical applications are automatic control of pres-sure, temperature, flow rates and tank levels. The combination of electro-pneumatic actuator and specially designed valve cone makes this one of the most responsive and accurate regulation valves available.

Sampling ValvesOur sampling equipment ranges from basic sampling valves to premium quality valves, providing the ultimate in sterile and aseptic sampling.

Keofitt Aseptic Sampling ValveThe Keofitt aseptic sampling valve is designed for sterilization before and after each sampling. The three parts are valve body, valve head and rubber membrane.

The Keofitt is produced in two sizes for different viscosity, and the high viscosity version is available with micro ports to enable sampling by hypodermic needle.

Aseptic Diaphragm Valves

Aseptic Diaphragm ValveAlfa Laval offers an extensive range of aseptic diaphragm valves for ultra-hygienic processes. The diaphragm valve is the most commonly used valve in the pharmaceutical industry, but it is also an ideal alternative for other aseptic applications.

The Alfa Laval Aseptic Diaphragm Valve is a weir type diaphragm valve. With its modular design, composed of: valve body, diaphragm and actuator, it enables the realization of special designs and needs with high quality and well-proven standard components. It can be combined in a number of configurations and executions but the most typical is a two-way valve offering an on/off function.

The Aseptic Diaphragm Valve is available both with manual and pneumatic actuators with a number of options.

The diaphragm is the critical part of the valve. In the Alfa Laval range there are both soft and hard compounds each suitable for their specific applications. The soft material diaphragm is EPDM which also is available in EPDM with a Kevlar core when extra mechanical stability is required. The hard diaphragm is PTFE with either EPDM or Silicone as a backing plate.

For the pneumatic actuators Alfa Laval also offers an extern-sive range of automation units, including control units, position indicators, seal adjusters and stroke limiters.

Apart from the standard two-way valve Alfa Laval also offers tank outlet valves, T valves and GMP/SAP valves in a wide range of dimensions and configurations.

Regulating Valves

CPM-2 – Constant Pressure Modulating ValveThe Alfa Laval air-actuated CPM-2 valve series is designed to maintain either constant inlet or constant outlet pressure – important for such applications as pasteurization, separation, filling systems, filters, filtration and heat exchangers.

Inside, a diaphragm/valve plug system reacts immediately to any alteration of product pressure and changes position so that the pre-set pressure is maintained. The valve operates with a pressure-regulating valve for the compressed air and a pressure gauge in the product line.

The optimum body design of the CPM-2 results in several product benefits, such as excellent cleanability. As the inlet is tangential to the bottom of the valve body there is no sump. One special plug allows very low capacities and high CIP flow.

Sanitary Ball Valves

SBV – Sanitary Ball ValveThe full bore design with zero flow restriction makes SBV the optimum choice for viscous or particulate liquids. Applications include the food and beverage industry, as well as the pharma-ceutical and chemical industries. Furthermore, the full bore design makes the SBV applicable for pigging systems. The valve can be operated by a pneumatic actuator or manually by means of a handle.

SPC-2 – Sanitary Electro-Pneumatic Modulating ValveThe SPC-2 is a sanitary valve for use in stainless steel pipe systems. Typical applications are automatic control of pres-sure, temperature, flow rates and tank levels. The combination of electro-pneumatic actuator and specially designed valve cone makes this one of the most responsive and accurate regulation valves available.

Sampling ValvesOur sampling equipment ranges from basic sampling valves to premium quality valves, providing the ultimate in sterile and aseptic sampling.

Keofitt Aseptic Sampling ValveThe Keofitt aseptic sampling valve is designed for sterilization before and after each sampling. The three parts are valve body, valve head and rubber membrane.

The Keofitt is produced in two sizes for different viscosity, and the high viscosity version is available with micro ports to enable sampling by hypodermic needle.

LKBEconomical on/off routing valves for low and medium viscosity product.

MHA shutter valve that allows for multi-directional flow of product.

CPM-2 When you need to keep your product under even pressure.

SBV Your optimum choice for viscous or particle liquids.

SPC-2Pressure control valve for sanitary applications.

The diaphragm is the critical part of the valve. In the Alfa Laval range there are both soft and hard compounds each suitable for their specific applications. The soft material diaphragm is EPDM which also is available in EPDM with a Kevlar core when extra mechanical stability is required. The hard diaphragm is PTFE with either EPDM or Silicone as a backing plate.

For the pneumatic actuators Alfa Laval also offers an extern-sive range of automation units, including control units, position indicators, seal adjusters and stroke limiters.

Apart from the standard two-way valve Alfa Laval also offers tank outlet valves, T valves and GMP/SAP valves in a wide range of dimensions and configurations.

1235 Position IndicatorOffering integrated mechanical posi-tion sensing, electrical signal transmis-sion and optical indication of the valve position.


Butterfly Valve

LKB – Butterfly ValveAlfa Laval LKB butterfly valves are economical on/off routing valves, available for either automatic or manually operated systems. Due to their large opening areas, these stainless steel valves offer low flow resistance, allow for reversible flow direction and provide gentle treatment of low and medium viscosity product.

LKB Low PressureThe LKB is available also in a low pressure version for pressure up to 5 bar. The LKB-LP is only available including handle with no option for indication and actuation.

LKBF Flange ConnectionsThe LKB is also available with flange connections. Flange connections in welded systems allow for in-line maintenance.

ActuatorsAvailable in either normally closed or normally open versions for automatic operation. The LKB can be fitted with vertically mounted LKLA actuators, as well as the ThinkTop® control and indication unit.

HandlesFor manual operation, Alfa Laval offers a complete range of handles, including the new multi-position lockable handle and a complete range of multi-position, mechanically locking handles.

Other Valves

LKC-2 – Non-Return ValveThe non-return valve LKC-2 is designed for use in stainless steel pipe installations to prevent reverse product flow. LKC-2 opens when the pressure below the valve plug exceeds the pressure above the plug and the spring force. It closes when pressure equalization has been achieved. A higher counter pressure will press the valve plug against the seat.

MH – Shutter ValveThe MH is a self-draining valve that allows for multi-directional flow of product. An internal shutter closes ports progressively to help minimize pressure shock and stress. The MH can either be manually or pneumatically operated, and is available with two or three port connections at the same level.
