New process valves from Alfa Laval

The Unique Mixproof CIP is a double-seat valve that safely and efficiently manages the flow of cleaning media during cleaning-in-place (CIP). The Unique Mixproof Process, a compact version of proven Alfa Laval double-seat valves, is configurable and available in various sizes to meet manufacturers’ fundamental hygienic processing requirements.

Both are capable of simultaneously routing two different fluids without the risk of cross-contamination, thereby contributing to more uptime and reduced total cost of ownership.

Anders M. Lyhne, Product Portfolio Manager, Alfa Laval, said:
“These new Unique Mixproof valves deliver product safety, process flexibility, straightforward maintenance, and opportunities for water and CIP media savings.”

Manufacturers can rely on the Unique Mixproof CIP and Unique Mixproof Process for cost-effective product safety, Alfa Laval says, as its double seat technology with seat lift keeps the fluids separated, ensuring efficient cleaning and complete protection against the intrusion of harmful microorganisms. With a fully balanced design, the valves are said to easily handle high pressure without the risk of pressure shocks. Moreover, they are certified according to FDA, 3A and other recognised standards.

The Unique Mixproof CIP and Unique Mixproof Process valves are compact and modular, offering greater process flexibility.

Built on the Alfa Laval Unique SSV and Mixproof platforms, these hygienic top-loaded double-seat valves minimise the risk of unplanned downtime while spending as little time and resources as possible on routine maintenance. Proven seal technology with defined compression extends the intervals between service, while a maintenance-free actuator with no adjustable components maximizes uptime and minimises the total cost of ownership.
