SMP-BC Sanitary Mixproof Valve
SMP-BC valve with Body Combination 30

Application

SMP-BC is a sanitary pneumatic seat valve, designed for safety and leak detection when two different products flow through only one valve.
The valve is for use in stainless steel pipe systems.

Working principle

SMP-BC is remote-controlled by means of compressed air. The valve is a normally closed (NC) valve.
The valve is fitted with two small pneumatic normally open (NO) valves, a detecting valve and a CIP-valve.

The valve plug (the upper plug in a change-over valve) has two seals, forming a leakage chamber under atmospheric pressure between them. Leaking product flows into the leakage chamber and is discharged through the detecting valve.
SMP-BC can be cleaned by CIP by supplying compressed air to the actuator (see fig. 1).
During cleaning the valve, flow pattern against the closing direction of the valve plug makes SMP-BC insensitive to water hammer.

Standard design

SMP-BC is available in two versions, as a stop valve with one valve body or as a change-over valve with three valve bodies (sizes DN125-150 only as stop valve).
The valve bodies and the external actuator are clamped together. SMP-BC is fitted with one detecting valve and one CIP-valve. The seals and the lip seal can be serviced after removing the actuator.

SMP-BC, sizes DN125 and DN150 are very heavy. Therefore it is recommended to manufacture and use auxiliary handling equipment. Guidelines are given in IM 70771.
The recommended auxiliary equipment cannot be supplied by Alfa Laval.
