This company has added a new model of tank outlet valve to its APV D4 series of mix-proof valves (photo). The new D4 valves enable users to clean the pipeline without having to empty the contents of the tank, which improves efficiency and eliminates changeover requirements. APV D4 valves effectively provide reliable separation between the tank and servicing pipelines in sanitary applications across many industries, including food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Standard features include a seat lift actuator, cross-port housing and a leak drain with clamp connectivity for clean-in-place (CIP) fluid collection. — SPX Flow, Inc., Charlotte, N.C.
