    Alfa Laval 761 Sanitary Seat Valves

    The Alfa Laval 761 Sanitary Seat Valve features the positive action of either a short-stroke or long-stroke actuator. The 761 valve is ideal for high volume, sanitary liquid processing applications. Its heavy-duty construction and precision-molded bonnet gaskets ensure positive alignment under severe operating conditions. The 761 valve has a sanitary and flexible design allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications, e.g. as a stop valve with two or three ports or as divert valve with three to five ports.

    Standard Design

    The 761 Series sanitary valves are designed to deliver years of reliable performance. Rugged and long-lasting plastic stem bushings eliminate metal-to-metal galling. The stems are threaded to the actuator shaft, eliminating the coupling between the stem and the actuator, thereby ensuring proper alignment. The valve stem design requires only a single o-ring seal. And bushings at each end of the actuator cylinder support stem also ensure perfect alignment. The 761 series features a heavy-duty bonnet and body ferrule design that will stand up to years of pounding from hydraulic shock. Standard 32Ra finish on the ID.
     
    Alfa Laval Tri-Clover Unique 7000 Sanitary Single Seat Valves

    Alfa Laval's Unique 7000 range is an innovative generation of cost-effective Tri-Clover single seat sanitary valves designed to meet the most stringent requirements for hygiene and safety. Combining the best from US market leader Tri-Clover® and world market leader Alfa Laval, the Unique 7000 design has been developed on the basis of experience from an installed base of more than one million valves.

    The one-piece body of the Unique 7000 design is formed from a single stainless steel disc. This ensures an exceptionally smooth surface finish with no welds, resulting in maximum strength and reliable production, as well as improved hygiene. The ball-shaped body with no dead zones guarantees gentle product treatment and is extremely easy to clean. The upgraded sealing concept, with defined compression of sealing with metal-to-metal contact, results in maximum integrity for the liquids passing through the valve.

    The Unique 7000 sanitary valve complies with prevailing health, safety and hygiene regulations in full, is EHEDG certified and is authorized to bear the 3-A symbol for hygienic equipment design.

    With a minimum of moving parts, the Unique 7000 is also designed for rapid, easy maintenance and to keep spare parts inventories to the minimum.

    Alfa Laval Unique Sanitary Mixproof Valves

    Alfa Laval's Unique double-seat sanitary mixproof design makes it easy to stream two different products or fluids of virtually any kind through the same valve at the same time, without any risk of cross-contamination. This means one single Unique mixproof valve can often easily do the job of two or three conventional single-seat valves, saving on both space and installation costs as well as providing unmatched system flexibility.

    There are absolutely no leaks or spillage when these valves are in operation, making them ideal for use when hygiene requirements are particularly stringent. Unique sanitary mixproof valves are easy to install and only require the bare minimum of service and maintenance.

    GEA Tuchenhagen VARIVENT® Sanitary Seat and Mixproof Valves

    The VARIVENT® system is a flexible modular system and therefore offers many advantages, for instance standardized parts interchangeable with various valve types.

    The result: cost-effectiveness for the plant owner, optimized stock-keeping, favorably-priced spare parts and low parts diversity.

    VARIVENT® sanitary valves are characterized by their special sealing technique. The metallic stop of the valve disk ensures defined deformation of the seal which provides along service life, short downtimes and continuous production.

    GEA Tuchenhagen 24/7 PMO Mixproof Valves

    The GEA Tuchenhagen 24/7 PMO Valve™ has been designed to allow safe separation of non compatible products (such as milk or milk products & cleaning solution) and is approved by the FDA (through the issuance of Memorandum M-b-353) to allow one housing of the valve and the corresponding valve seat as well as the vent cavity to be cleaned while milk or milk products are present in the opposite valve housing and line.

    In process system designs which utilize the 24/7 PMO Valve™, the processor will greatly increase the throughput of the process system. This is due to the elimination of the downtime required by all other single seat and mixproof valves systems where the process operations must be shutdown for valve and manifold cleaning.

    In the case of PMO Mixproof valve or double-block-and-vent single-seat valve systems, PMO regulations have UP TO NOW not allowed the cleaning of the vent cavity or a valve seat while Milk or Milk products are present in the valve under item 15p (B) section (6) of the PMO. This vent cavity cleaning restriction has been lifted for this 24/7 PMO Valve™ alone.
