Mixproof valves featuring a double seal design
Ideal for handling sanitary process flows through matrix piping systems, SMP mixproof valves are standardized, cost-effective alternatives to Unique mixproof valves.
Concept
SMP-BC is a hygienic pneumatic seat valve, designed for safety and leak detection when two different products flow through only one valve. The valve is often used as a part in CIP return lines or other systems not experiencing pressure spikes offering leakage detection for greater safety.
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 of the valve, flow pattern against the closing direction of the valve plug makes SMP-BC insensitive to water hammer.
