ALFA LAVAL BALL VALVES
Alfa Laval ball valves are versatile full-bore valves that enable full fluid flow with zero flow restriction and minimal pressure drop. This enables easy transfer of viscous liquids or liquids containing particles through hygienic processing lines.
- Optimizes product recovery and complete cleanability of the valve bore and pipeline due to the full-bore, piggable design
- Minimized pressure losses, especially when handling high-viscosity liquids
- Zero flow restriction makes handling liquids containing large particles easy
ALFA LAVAL BUTTERFLY VALVES
Alfa Laval LKB valves are butterfly valves designed for hygienic food applications, available in three versions for ISO, DIN, or mixed pipelines. They offer various gasket options and can be operated manually or with a pneumatic actuator, featuring different position indicators. Easy to install and maintain, they come with service kits for recommended maintenance.
The LKB Ultra Pure version is intended for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and personal care sectors, featuring Q-Doc certification and variants for ISO, DIN, and ASME BPE pipelines.
