The Proven Mixproof Range
SMP-SC Sanitary Mixproof Valve
SMP-SC valve with body combination 22-90.

Application

SMP-SC is a sanitary pneumatic seat valve, designed for mixproof operation when two different products flow through only one valve. The valve is for use in stainless steel pipe systems.

Working principle

SMP-SC is remote-controlled by means of compressed air. The valve is a normally closed (NC) valve.
The valve has two independent plug seals, forming a leakage chamber between them under atmospheric pressure during every working condition. Leaking product flows into the leakage chamber and is discharged through the leakage outlet. When the valve is open the leakage chamber is closed. The product can then flow from one line to the other.
The valve can be cleaned by CIP (see fig. 1).
SMP-SC is fitted with a balancing cylinder in the lower part of the valve body, which makes it insensitive to high pressure and water hammer.

Standard design

The valve consists of two bodies, which are welded together. The seats for the upper and lower plugs are located between the bodies.
The valve has an external actuator, which is clamped to the top of the valve body.
The actuator and the internal parts can be removed without any interference with the pipelines.
All the seals and the guide rings can be serviced.
SMP-SC, sizes DN125-150 are very heavy. Therefore it is recommended to manufacture and use auxiliary lifting equipment. Guidelines are given in IM 70787. The recommended auxiliary equipment cannot be supplied by Alfa Laval.

Option - Three-body version

SMP-SC is available in a three-body version. The valve is for use as a mixproof change-over valve.

The valve consists of the standard actuator, the standard balancing housing, the standard clamps, the standard seals and guide rings and the standard valve body onto which the lower valve body is clamped.

The upper and the lower plugs and the balancing cylinder/plug unit are fitted with seal rings.

Caution, opening/closing time:

Opening/closing time will be effected 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.

Air Connections:

AC1, AC2, AC3: R 1/8" (BSP), internal thread.
AC1: Cleaning of upper seat.
AC2: Open valve.
AC3: Cleaning of lower seat.

Pressure drop/capacity diagrams - three-body version

NOTE!

For the diagrams the following applies:
Medium: Water (20°C)
Measurement: In according with VDI 2173.

CIP liquid capacities - Kv values

Lift, upper plug 1.5 2.8 4.2
Lift, lower plug 1.2 2.2 4.0

Formula to estimate CIP flow during seat lift: (for liquids with comparable viscosity and density to water):

Q = K v · √ Δp
Q = CIP - flow (m3/h).
Kv = Kv value from the above table.
Δ p = CIP pressure (bar).
