Introduction To Unique Mixproof

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve stands as a versatile, highly flexible double block and bleed valve designed for the safe and efficient management of fluids at intersection points in matrix piped systems. This valve facilitates the simultaneous flow of two different products or fluids through the same valve, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination. With a modular design and a wide variety of options, the valve can be easily customized to meet any process requirement, whether it involves higher demands on cleanability or the ability to withstand pressure peaks.

Unique Mixproof Application

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof is designed for continuous flow management and process safety in hygienic processes where product safety is at the top of the agenda across the dairy, food, beverage and many other industries.

Unique Mixproof How It Work

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve is a normally closed (NC) valve controlled from a remote location by means of compressed air. The valve has two independent plugs and seals to separate the liquids; the space between the seals forms a leakage chamber at atmospheric pressure during every working condition. Leakage rarely occurs but, should it occur, product flows into the leakage chamber and exits through the bottom outlet for easy detection. When the valve is open, the leakage chamber is closed. The product then flows from one line to the other. The radial design of the valve ensures that virtually no product spillage occurs during valve operation. It is possible to adapt valve cleaning and water hammer protection to the requirements of individual process specifications.
