Double seat valve for hygienic processing
In the dairy, food, and beverage industries, maintaining hygienic standards while preventing cross-contamination is crucial. Traditional valve systems often fail to fully prevent product mixing and ensure efficient cleaning, leading to product loss and increased maintenance time.
Safeguard against cross-contamination and product loss
The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Process is a cost-effective double seat valve designed for fundamental mixproof functionality in hygienic applications. Featuring a seat lift function, it operates with two independent plugs and seals to separate liquids, forming a leakage chamber at atmospheric pressure. This setup prevents cross-contamination and ensures efficient cleaning. The valve can withstand high pressure peaks and is available in various sizes to meet diverse processing requirements. It includes a maintenance-free actuator and sealing technology that prolongs the time between service intervals. The valve is certified to FDA, 3A, and other recognized standards and can be paired with the Alfa Laval ThinkTop valve control unit for significant water and cleaning media savings.
