Alfa Laval introduces a new generation of diaphragm valve to its broad valve portfolio for hygienic applications. Ideal for use in sterile, ultra-hygienic processes, the valve provides a higher flow rate and lower pressure drop than traditional diaphragm valves. Its design makes it easy to install, easy to service and helps to cut energy costs. The Unique Diaphragm Valve-Premium UltraPure sets a new standard for safety, efficiency and simplicity of operations.
The Unique Diaphragm Valve-Premium gives double flow rate compared to conventional designs, with significantly reduced pressure drop and turbulence. It also has a more linear flow characteristic, which results in more precise flow regulation. The new weir design helps to cut energy costs, as the higher flow rate and lower pressure drop allows the use of smaller feed pumps. Installation costs are also lower due to the possibility to use smaller pumps, valves and piping. Further savings are achieved thanks to the extended lifetime of the diaphragm, which results in longer service intervals as well as reduced assembly time.
Uniform compression is assured for safer operation and extended diaphragm lifetime. The mechanism’s built-in click and positioning system secures correct fastening every time. Assembly is faster and easier with just one thread – there is no longer four bolts to cross-tighten and retighten – and the risk of error is eliminated.
The Unique Diaphragm Valve-Premium is designed for simple and reliable automation and comes with a complete automation package to cover requirements at every level – from simple indication unit to advanced control unit.
