Alfa Laval Mixproof CIP and Process hygienic valves

Alfa Laval has released two new hygienic valves — the Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof CIP and Unique Mixproof Process, extending its hygienic double-seat valve range to meet market demands.

The CIP double-seat valve is designed to manage the flow of cleaning media during cleaning-in-place (CIP), while the Process one is a compact version of Alfa Laval double-seat valves, which is configurable and available in various sizes to meet manufacturers’ hygienic processing requirements. Both are capable of simultaneously routing two different fluids without the risk of cross-contamination.

Alfa Laval double-seat technology with seat lift is designed to keep the fluids separated, ensuring efficient cleaning and protection against the intrusion of harmful microorganisms. With a fully balanced design, the valves can easily handle high pressure without the risk of pressure shocks. They are also certified according to FDA, 3A and other recognised standards.

Both the valves are compact, modular in design and available in types and sizes that suit different applications. Using the valves in combination with the Alfa Laval ThinkTop control units can provide users with more flexibility and control.

Built on the Alfa Laval Unique SSV and Mixproof platforms, the hygienic top-loaded double-seat valves are designed to minimise the risk of unplanned downtime while also reducing time and resources for routine maintenance.
