Theory of Operation

Double seat mix proof valves are used to efficiently process two different fluids (typically product and CIP) through the valve simultaneously. The mix proof design has two seats which isolate the upper and lower pipe lines when the valve is in the fail-safe closed position. The atmospheric vent cavity in between the seats creates a path for any leakage should the seals fail as well as a drain for CIP solution during seat cleaning. An external CIP spray flush is included to provide enhanced cleaning of the leakage and vent cavity while the valve is closed or open during production.

OPTIONS & PERFORMANCE

Housing Combinations

 

Shut-off Valves

Mixproof shut-off valves are used to keep incompatible products from mixing at pipe junctions, or to simply shut flow from an upper to lower line within a valve matrix.

Divert Valves

Mixproof divert valves are used for distributing liquid from one pipeline into two others (or vice versa)
