Alfa Laval Unique mixproof valves

Alfa Laval Unique mixproof valves provide flexibility in hygienic flow processing by making it possible to handle two different fluids at the same time, with no risk of cross-contamination. Using two independent plugs and seals means a single mixproof valve can often replace two or more valves of other types.

The valves provide easy validation of plant performance and substantial water, chemical and heating savings during cleaning-in-place. Alfa Laval supplies several different designs of valves, all with leakage detection, that help boost safety levels. They enable users to design versatile set-ups that are easy to maintain, as well as providing more processing opportunities.

The valves offer a modular solution that is easily tailored to the user’s specific requirements. This means users only pay for the exact features and capabilities they really need. For example, the Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Large Particle Valve has features which are suitable for handling fluids with high viscosity or large particles such as lotions, soups and yoghurts. The valve is specially designed with large openings, handling particles up to 45 mm in diameter to minimise pressure loss and securing product integrity by eliminating the risk of product damage or blockage.
