Mixproof valve for aseptic applications
This company recently introduced an aseptic double-seat valve to its range of mixproof valves. The new Aseptic Mixproof Valve for sterile process applications (photo) is based on the same modular architecture as the aseptic version of the company’s Single Seat Valve (SSV), and is said to reduce the total cost of ownership for dairy, food, beverage and other manufacturers by up to 45% compared to the leading aseptic double-seat mixproof valves. Initially, the Aseptic Mixproof Valve range will include these valve sizes, which meet most manufacturer requirements: ISO 51 mm (2 in.), 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) and 76.1 mm (3 in.). The optimized design of the Aseptic Mixproof Valve makes cleaning and sterilization easier, thereby enabling more production uptime. With a highly flushable design and no domes in the product and steam areas, the valve provides better cleaning capabilities than other double-seat aseptic mixproof valves. — Alfa Laval Kolding A/S, Denmark
