alfa laval safety valve factory

It is used to prevent inadmissible overpressures of fluids in tanks, containers, and plant sections. From the factory, the valve is configured with a set pressure upon request that is created than the operating pressure. The valve opens against a spring force if the operating pressure increases the set pressure. Preferably, the Alfa Laval Safety Valve should be installed vertically. If mounted horizontally the set pressure will be a bit lower than specified due to the missing weight of the piston.

January 19, 2016 - Alfa Laval announces Safety Valves that protect against overpressure in tanks and pipelines caused by overfilling or fermentation processes.

In a potentially dangerous situation it will open at a predetermined set pressure. The compressed spring force, keeping the valve closed, is forced open when pressure builds up at the inlet of the safety valve. As these forces balance out, the valve will discharge and decrease pressure, ultimately reclosing as the system returns to normal.

These safety valves protect also protect against implosion due to vacuum caused by cold rinsing after hot cleaning or blocking of gas supply during emptying.

The Alfa Laval safety valve can be combined with the Alfa Laval SB anti vacuum house into a combined safety valve, protecting against both vacuum and overpressure in one hygienic valve solution with a single tank connection.

Alfa Laval’s innovative valves enables gentle and sustainable production of a wide range of food and beverage products. Their innovative and robust solutions allow customers to achieve a never before seen level of hygiene and safety in their industrial processes and at the same time improve taste, nutritional value, texture and appearance of the food and beverage products. No matter how complex your process line or plant are, their specialists work closely with the customers to tailor the right solution. They are committed to ensuring maximum uptime and continuous optimization of your processes.

A compact safety valve that minimizes the risk of implosion of tanks when a vacuum condition arises. These conditions occur while filling or emptying the vessel of liquid, cool rinsing after hot-cleaning or caustic cleaning in a CO2 atmosphere. Designed for use in the brewery, dairy, food and beverage industries, it helps optimize the safety, reliability and performance of critical processes and maximize uptime.

Safety Valves are used to prevent inadmissible over pressures of fluids in tanks, containers and plant sections. In the factory the valve is configured with a set pressure upon request that is greater than the operating pressure. The valve opens against a spring force if the operating pressure increases the set pressure. Preferably, the Alfa Laval Safety Valve should be installed vertically. If mounted horizontal the set pressure will be a bit lower than specified due to the missing weight of the piston. Highest effect on DN80 and DN100.

The Alfa Laval Safety Valves are available in sizes from DN25 to DN100 with spring loaded set pressure range from 0.2 to 12 bar. A valve can be pneumatic or manually operated and are delivered with PED certificate.

They combine the innovation of Alfa Laval with the time-proven reliability of Tri-Clover brand valves, providing the options required to meet your processing needs.

From compression and relief valves to sampling and CPM valves, Alfa Laval has the products and technology to provide you with sanitary, efficient and economical valve solutions to suit your unique application.

LKUV-2 air-relief valves are designed for use when removal of air from a process line without loss of product is a primary concern. These provide solid safety, efficiency and low cost of ownership for processing where hygiene standards are essential.
