The Proven Mixproof Range
SMP-BCA Aseptic Mixproof Valve with PTFE Diaphragm
SMP-BCA Body Combination 30.

Application

SMP-BCA is an aseptic double seat valve with PTFE diaphragm. It is available as a stop- or divert valve.
The valve is suited for aseptic operating conditions such as high sterilisation temperatures.
SMP-BCA is special designed for aseptic applications with the highest hygienic demands.

Working principle

SMP-BCA is operated by means of compressed air. The valve is a normally closed (NC) valve.
Sterile stem sealing towards the atmosphere is ensured by a special designed PTFE/rubber diaphragm unit. The PTFE diaphragm does not allow product residues to build up on the product contact surface.

The product lines are separated by two sealings and a sterile barrier chamber to avoid mixing of product and to ensure immediate indication in case of a leak from one of the plug seals. Two small pneumatic normally open (NO) valves control flow to and from the sterile barrier chamber. The barrier chamber must be clean and sterile when the main valve is closed.

The lower product lines on change over valves are separated by a single seal plug, without sterile barrier chamber.

Standard design

SMP-BCA is based on the SMP-BC valve design. It consists of actuator, bonnet, stem with diaphragm unit and valve bodies. The divert version is a three body design.

The valve is assembled by means of clamp rings and a stem clip system for easy maintenance.

a. Stop valve.

Caution, opening/closing time:

Opening/closing time will be affected by the following:
 

  • - The air supply (air pressure).
  • - The length and dimensions of the air hoses.
  • - Number of valves connected to the same air hose.
  • - Use of single solenoid valve for serial connected air actuator functions.
  • - Product pressure.
