ky Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve

One for All - Unique Mixproof

Concept
The Unique Mixproof Valve is designed with user flexibility in mind.
The customer can choose additional options as required individually;
for example higher hygiene demands or higher resistance against
physically tough conditions. Please see next page for a graphic
overview of the modularity of the Unique Mixproof Valve.

Working Principle
Unique is remote-controlled by means of compressed air. The valve
is a normally closed (NC) valve.
The valve has two independent plug seals, forming a leakage chamber
between them under atmospheric pressure during every working
condition. In case of rare accidental leaking of product, this will flow
into the leakage chamber and be discharged through the leakage
outlet. When the valve is open, the leakage chamber is closed. The
product can then flow from one line to the other.
The valve can be cleaned and water hammer protected to any level
according to the needs in the specific process (see next page). There
is virtually no spillage of product when operating the valve.

efficiently, uses less cleaning fluid by ensuring that a directional flow
of CIP fluid reaches all the surfaces in much less time than with
conventional systems.
