SB Self-cleaning CO2-valve How It Work

The Alfa Laval SB Self-cleaning CO2 Valve uses a stainless steel spring to force open the internal polypropylene valve body, enabling the full flow of gas to pass through the valve in both directions. The introduction of CIP fluid through a special drilled opening in the valve body in a direction counter-current to the spring force pushes the internal valve body into closed position and ensures cleaning of all valve parts. The CIP flow is approximately 800-900 l/h, depending on the valve size.
