Alfa Laval has introduced an aseptic double-seat valve to its range of Alfa Laval mixproof valves. The new Alfa Laval Aseptic Mixproof Valve for sterile process applications is based on the same modular architecture as the well-proven aseptic version of the company’s Unique Single Seat Valve (SSV). More importantly, the Alfa Laval Aseptic Mixproof Valve reduces the total cost of ownership by up to 45% compared to the leading aseptic double-seat mixproof valves.
This advanced double-seat mixproof valve ensures product safety through full protection against the intrusion of harmful microorganisms, even during unwanted pressure spikes. It also provides more uptime, exceptional hygiene, minimised product loss, and easy and cost-effective service.
Using Alfa Laval’s aseptic double-seat valve can deliver a total cost savings of up to 45% to manufacturers using aseptic processing. Estimated savings are based on a comparison of capital expenses and maintenance costs of an aseptic 2½” valve over a five-year period if service is done onsite.
Built on the same Alfa Laval Unique SSV platform, this aseptic double seat valve is easy to mount – either in a horizontal or vertical position. There are three seat-lift versions, five steam valve types and a range of options for steam temperature monitoring.
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. The new valves also comply with EHEDG and 3-A sanitary standards.
