The Alfa Laval Unique Sampling Valve (Single Seat) is a single-seat sampling valve that enables representative sampling in hygienic processes under sterile conditions. It provides high accuracy, exceptional repeatability and excellent reliability required for high quality, cost-effective sampling. Either the ergonomically designed handle or the actuator ensures exceptional control during the sampling operation.
The single-seat sampling valve is specially designed for use in hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage, brewery, pharmaceutical, personal care and many other industries.
Benefits
• Safe, hygienic and contamination-free sampling
• Highly reliable operation
• Easy to operate and maintain
• Easy to clean
• Modular design and easy to upgrade
• Sterilization possible
Standard design The Alfa Laval Unique Sampling Valve (Single Seat) consists of a valve body made of a single piece of stainless steel, either an actuator for automatic operation or a handle for manual operation, and a rubber membrane seal placed on the stem of the actuator, which acts as a stretchable plug. The valve is available in three sizes: Type 4, Type 10 and Type 25. A collared pipe, tank or Tri-Clamp connection is also available. The valve handles and actuators are interchangeable (see page 2). The Unique Sampling Valve (Single Seat) can be upgraded to the Alfa Laval Unique Sampling Valve (Double Seat) by replacing the handle or actuator with an upgrade kit.
The valve is available in tree sizes:
Size 4 for low-viscosity products such as water, beer, wine and liquid milk. Viscosity: (cP) 0-100. Max. particle size: 2.5 mm (0.098 in)
Size 10 for high-viscosity products such as fruit yoghurt, syrup and ice cream. Viscosity: (cP) 0-1000. Max. particle size: 7 mm (0.276 in)
Size 25 is for products with very high viscosity such as jam. Max. particle size: 20 mm (0.787 in)
