Mixproof valve for cleaning-in-place control
Streamline your cleaning processes and ensure product safety with a versatile valve that prevents cross-contamination while managing complex cleaning-in-place (CIP) tasks.
Routes and Controls CIP Media Efficiently
The Unique Mixproof CIP Valve from Alfa Laval is engineered to optimize hygienic processes by safely routing Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) media without risk of cross-contamination. This double-block-and-bleed valve is crucial for industries ranging from dairy to pharmaceuticals, providing robust separation of process fluids. It features a modular, self-cleaning design with a three-seal setup, ensuring reliability and minimal spillage during operations. The valve is pneumatic and can be remotely controlled, maintaining continuous, automated function. Available in various sizes to suit specific production needs, it enhances process flexibility and reduces water and CIP media consumption by up to 90% when integrated with Alfa Laval ThinkTop. Constructed from high-grade materials, it ensures durability and meets stringent industry compliance standards, making it a cost-effective solution for demanding hygiene-sensitive applications.
