Vacuum breaker valve for Htst pasteurization systems
Prevent vacuum conditions in high-temperature pasteurization systems with this robust pneumatic valve, ensuring consistent product quality and reducing costly downtime.
Prevents Vacuum and Ensures Hygienic Operation
The Unique Vacuum Breaker Valve from Alfa Laval is a pneumatic check valve engineered to address the challenge of vacuum conditions in high-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurization systems. Its robust, modular design allows it to fit seamlessly into dairy, food, and beverage production lines, focusing on maintaining hygiene and facilitating Clean-In-Place (CIP) processes. Operating similarly to a ball check valve, it actively manages pressure changes to prevent vacuum formation and ensure uninterrupted operation. This valve integrates easily with Alfa Laval’s ThinkTop V50 for advanced sensing and control, enhancing automation and process oversight. Its construction from stainless steel with a double-acting lip seal minimizes cross-contamination risks, meeting the 3-A sanitary standards. Additionally, its straightforward design reduces maintenance needs and extends valve life, providing cost-effective, reliable performance for liquid processing in industries focusing on products like pasteurized milk, juices, and soft drinks.
