Alfa Laval introduces the new ThinkTop V40, a valve control unit that moves a step above traditional valve position indicators to automated, real-time control. Built on Alfa Laval’s proven ThinkTop platform, the V40 offers a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution for Alfa Laval butterfly and single-seat valves. It provides food, beverage, and home and personal care manufacturers a straightforward entry point into automation.
By leveraging the V40’s digital and ASi communication protocols, manufacturers gain round-the-clock status updates and instant feedback on valve position. This minimizes manual errors and helps ensure compliance with industry standards. An integrated solenoid valve enables precise actuation, while highly accurate sensors provide continuous monitoring and control. The durable, IP69K-rated construction withstands the harshest washdown conditions, ensuring hygiene and long-term reliability. The result? Enhanced product safety, maximized uptime, and higher yield.
The ThinkTop V40 helps manufacturers eliminate the challenges of valve indication. Its plug-and-play setup reduces installation time by automatically detecting the valve type for seamless monitoring and control. A 360° LED visual status indication ring provides clear visibility of valve status from every direction. Easily expand operations by adding more valves with control tops on a single ASi 3.0 network, simplifying integration is easy today, and leaving room to grow tomorrow.
The ThinkTop V40 is a long-term solution that helps optimize resource use and reduce costs. It’s proven ThinkTop design ensures exceptional durability and low power consumption. Easy serviceability simplifies maintenance and extends service lifetime, supporting reliable performance far into the future.
