This company has launched two new products in its Unique Mixproof valve product series. The Unique Mixproof CIP (photo) is a double-seat valve that safely and efficiently manages the flow of cleaning media during clean-in-place (CIP) processes. The Unique Mixproof Process, a compact double-seat valve, is configurable for fundamental hygienic-processing requirements. Both new valves are capable of simultaneously routing two different fluids without the risk of cross-contamination, thereby contributing to more uptime. Double-seat technology with seat lift keeps the fluids separated, ensuring efficient cleaning and complete protection against the intrusion of harmful microorganisms. With a fully balanced design, the valves can easily handle high pressure without the risk of pressure shocks. According to the manufacturer, these new valves eliminate unnecessary product loss while delivering up to 90% savings in water and CIP media. — Alfa Laval AB, Lund, Sweden
