Ideal for handling sanitary process flows through matrix piping systems, SMP mixproof valves are standardized, cost-effective alternatives to Unique mixproof valves.
Economic mixproof valves
Alfa Laval offers two double-seal mixproof valves: The Alfa Laval SMP-BC and the aseptic version, SMP-BCA. The SMP valves enable the flow of two different media through the same valve simultaneously without any risk of cross-contamination. This increases operating efficiencies and significantly reduces operating costs.
High application flexibility
Based on a modular structure, SMP mixproof valves have several valve bodies and components that can be combined in various ways. These self-draining mixproof valves can, for instance, be configured as stop valves and changeover valves.
Plus SMP mixproof valves are constructed from a series of base components, which enables valves to easily be configured to meet different requirements in sanitary and aseptic applications.
Simplified valve maintenance
Few moving parts, a top-loaded plug, a maintenance-friendly actuator make SMP mixproof valves easy to disassemble for quick, straightforward maintenance.
Product Benefits
- Reduces operating costs
- High application flexibility
- Compliance with most hygienic standards
SMP mixproof valve range
The Alfa Laval SMP mixproof valve range offers two standard cost-effective alternatives to the premium Alfa Laval Unique mixproof valve range.
- SMP-BC mixproof valve for applications that require additional safety, leak detection and CIP
- SMP-BCA mixproof valve for aseptic applications
Aseptic version
The aseptic version of Alfa Laval's SMP mixproof valve is called SMP-BCA, which is designed for use under mixproof aseptic conditions and sterilization involving high temperatures.
The straight forward design keeps liquids separate by using two seals on the same plug, with a leakage chamber in between.
The PTFE / rubber diaphragm following the movement of the plug in the upper section of the valve body ensures that there is no increase in the concentration of microorganisms in the product during processing.
Compliance with most hygienic standards
Alfa Laval SMP valves meet most standards requested in the dairy, food and beverage, and personal care industries.
